I have seriously been panicking about this all morning. I am also not tolerating the heat well (20 weeks pregnant) and so far it hasn’t gotten past 92-ish here. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be 100 and Friday it’s supposed to be 103. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to make it through the summer!!

I was so sick pregnant that I could hardly make it to the beach, so we got an inflatable kiddie pool big enough for my toddler, husband and I to fit in. Spent a lot of afternoons in the kiddie pool.

I am scared for the heat, I can tolerate it but it drains my energy immediately! I want to go and laydown after an hour of being outside. This is not like me, I love the heat and the water ect.

I went to lunch and a park outing with LO and was sweating almost the entire time! Got through lunch, went to the park and literally stayed for 3 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore.
It was only 84 degrees or so, but the sun was beating down on me! I'm 10 weeks along.

I feel like I'm getting a lot hotter too. I guess we are in for a LONG summer!

I take cool showers. If you can, avoid doing as much outdoor or remotely physical stuff as you can between 10 AM and 4 PM. Do grocery shopping in the evening, for example. Wear light colored cotton clothing that covers your shoulders if you must be outside (I burn easy), and skirts tend to be cooler than pants in my experience. Wear slip on shoes (no socks) that you can kick off if you're feeling too warm. Hydrate well, and keep freezer pops on hand (the year our AC was out, we basically lived on those.) Wear your hair up with no hair spray or gel, and if you can find a style that you can do with wet hair, even better.
