I had DS in the summer in Mexico and while it was hot, it was super easy to dress and I could enjoy the pool. Dressing a third tri belly is such a pain now that it's getting cold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434628 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:58:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 434628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't love being pregnant in the summer (DS was born 8-8), but it wasn't awful. I just pretty much lived in tanks, skirts and flip flops. The only real downside was a higher electric bill since I need to be cold to sleep, and had the AC lower than normal to get me there. But it was still probably less than I would have spent on maternity sweaters and coat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434622 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:55:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 434622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter for sure!!!!! I want to have my next baby in February 2014. Wonder how likely it is that I can make that happen.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434612 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:50:50 +0000 oliviaoblivia 434612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have four weeks left and so far being pregnant in the winter has been pretty easy. I do worry about a snow storm preventing us from a quick trip to the hospital, but it's only three miles away.<br /> And I'm glad that I don't have to wear shorts and tank tops because my body confidence is pretty low right now. I'm happy to cover up in sweaters and ponchos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434599 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:44:09 +0000 sarac 434599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Summer for sure! I loved all my cute dresses, barely had to wear anything, didn't have to cram my big feet into boots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434563 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:22:05 +0000 matador84 434563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pg in summer and glad! I sat in a baby pool in backyard...wore shorts and t shirts, I was super swollen and could only wear flip flops. Thank goodness! And I mean I was huge prego! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434560 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:20:30 +0000 shopaholic 434560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say Summer even though our SoCal summers are hot. Just because I'd rather fully live in comfy maxi dresses all 3rd trimester! Also, the slippery ice thing IS scary for me in the winter when we go up to the mountains. I feel like I'm on house-arrest cuz I'm scared to go out! Being bloated in 1st Tri in the Summer was also tricky because I just straight out look puffy, not clearly preggers, and still look just fat, not preggers in all my winter sweaters and coats now. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434507 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:46:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 434507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WINTER.... I'm so glad I've been in my third trimester during winter both times. I am just a gloomy, crisp, cold weather kind of gal - if I could, I would totally move to Seattle or Portland. I love how the wind hits my face - I love bundling up in layers... I love boots, scarves, coats, mittens, and all that. </p> <p>California winters are also pretty mild so it's my favorite time of year here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434498 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:42:38 +0000 Rescuemom10 434498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter. I am normally one who is always cold...not anymore. I cant imagine being so "hot" all the time and it being summer on top of it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434416 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:07:01 +0000 Lone Palm 434416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first pregnancy and I'm due beginning of January and so far the third trimester in the winter has been great! (I'm also in the south so winters are mild) I think the only downfall is that I'm hating clothes at this point and wish I could just wear a dress and flip flops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434396 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:01:57 +0000 lemondrop 434396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter all the way, I am ginger and don't tolerate heat at all! I'm a little nervous, we are about to start trying again, and that makes me dread summer even more!</p> <p>ETA: I mean no offense to anyone using the term ginger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter/page/2#post-434391 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:00:12 +0000 Amelieisme 434391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had LO this Aug 3 and we had the hottest summer since like 1930 this year and...it really wasn't that bad. I WAS miserably hot, but not any hotter than a non-pregnant me would have been. DH did comment that the power bill was MUCH higher than normal. I did get out and walk in the morning up to the end, I just planned to do it early before the day really heated up.</p> <p>I would worry about falling in the winter. In general, I hate winter more so that could leave me a little biased :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434368 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:52:46 +0000 Rubies 434368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Summer! At least I know what it's like. I am terrified of Canadian winters - they can be so bad and I would be paranoid about going into labour during a snowstorm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434366 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:52:18 +0000 birdofafeather 434366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'm due mid January so I guess I'll say winter. It's been flying by with the holidays so I have nothing to complain about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434360 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:50:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter! I was so excited because DD was due in January so I would have less chance of being miserable in the hot (100+ degrees) and humid weather... only to have the most mild winter we've ever had in TX. Maybe next time... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434353 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:48:52 +0000 Chastenet 434353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an August baby and I didn't mind the heat so much. It was nice to be able to take dd out to the park when she was just days old. I also am happy she is a bit bigger and stronger now that it is cold/flu season.<br /> With a winter 3rd tri you would have to buy so many more maternity clothes and wouldn't be able to get out as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434351 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:48:38 +0000 ladyfingers 434351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter. I live in Florida and I would hate to be in my 3rd trimester in the middle of the summer here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434342 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:47:09 +0000 JessicaMcB 434342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in my third tri in summer and thought it was no big deal. I'd never want to be in my third tri during the winter in my part of Canada- I'd be perpetually terrified of slipping on the ice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434328 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:43:53 +0000 prettylizy 434328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter for sure. I live in Canada and LO was due in March, during my last few weeks at work in February, I was wearing a summer weight dress with tights and a cardigan. I usually ditched the cardi by 11am every day just to stay cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434316 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:40:05 +0000 yellowbird 434316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter!! I had a September baby and I was soooo swollen in the summer :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434220 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:08:22 +0000 dagret 434220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter! I'm due Jan. 25 and I'm glad. </p> <p>Our summers get really hot and humid. My sister in law delivered Aug 8 and was absolutely miserable.</p> <p>Also, we go to the beach almost every weekend in the summer and I think i would be really uncomfortable being huge there. Plus right now i have to pee every 10 minutes and I hate getting into the ocean unless I have to. </p> <p>@Pink Champagne: Ugh, what kind of medieval torture chamber do you work at! Though I will say that I have a pair of maternity tights and they are surprisingly comfortable. But I don't have to wear them every day. And I waddle around in shorts and tank tops at home now even though it's December! </p> <p>@Alivoo01: I'm usually freezing but I've been an OVEN since I've been pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434216 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:06:34 +0000 Minnie_Girl 434216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been perfectly happy with a winter third trimester. The weather's cold, but I'm not sweaty/swollen. And I don't really consider snow a problem in this part of the states. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434206 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:04:29 +0000 mrbee 434206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434200 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 10:02:45 +0000 Mrs. Blue 434200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: It's been fun having everyone along for the ride--kind of feels like a big extended family, only one who I share way more details with than my real family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434194 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:57:30 +0000 MrsTiz 434194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter, for sure! Or fall. I hate being hot, and I would hate even more to be extremely pregnant and hot at the same time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434188 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:52:56 +0000 mrbee 434188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: hehe I may be biased here! :) Also though, it's been really exciting to follow your journey all the way from the beginning!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434182 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:50:38 +0000 Modern Daisy 434182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm lucky, I'll be due in August so I'm going with summer! I used to say I preferred winter, but the more I think about it I think maternity leave would be much nicer in the fall and I'd worry about a huge snowstorm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-be-pregnant-in-your-third-trimester-in-the-summer-or-winter#post-434180 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 09:50:02 +0000 ValentineMommy 434180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter - and thankfully, I am.
