[promisx]

im a cali mamma and my sister keeps saying "you gone have to go through summer while pregnant, good luck! " and laughs at me lol . summer is right around the corner !! is it really that hard going through the heat with a belly ?

any advice ? experiences ?

[MommaKelleyy]

Yeah I'm in southern cali right now and it's been pretty chilly so far thank god ha.

[promisx]

@mammakelleyy girl yes its gone be tough , its spring out here In cali but it gets reeaally hot every now and then , all I have is sone winter clothes :( smh

[MommaKelleyy]

Zulily.com has cute swimsuits for pregnant women.

[promisx]

oooo I live right down the street from a bunch of clothing stores and a mall , ill deff be checking out Burlington and the maternity clothing store,  passed by there so many times and seen a ton of cute outfits ! I wasnt even pregnant then lol . I'll have to check out target too

[MommaKelleyy]

My mom told me summer isn't going to be fun(moving back to texas).  Is going to be hot, ill be uncomfortable, plus when you're pregnant you sweat more so imagine being in the summer heat. Looks like ill be going swimming a lot ha

Im in Arizona & its my first time being prego in the summer heat. I probably stay home in the A/c most of time unless im taking a swim and I have stretch marks from my sons but I will rock a two piece with a really light cover up. Stay cool and hydrated.

[OctoberMommy2014]

oh, I'll be wearing a two piece too!! already found a couple I love!!
I've heard to stay away from hot tubs, but not pools.
I can't swim anyway, so I'll just be relaxing in the shallow end, on the steps, just staying cool.. eating my watermelon & chugging water and/or my favorite slushy drinks!!! lol (((:

as far as clothes, I've found a lot of maxi dresses, maternity tanks/tees, and the ONLY shorts I've found that don't look like "grandma" shorts were at Burlington Coat Factory.. we don't have one around here, but I plan on ordering a couple pair at least to try online. they're only like $15..

if those don't work out, I'll just go to walmart and buy soffee shorts (those comfy cotton shorts).. actually.. I'll probably just do that anyway. 115 degrees is too hot to not be comfortable lol just my opinion!! oh, and I've got to get some sports bras!! ((((:

[promisx]

wow thanks ladies for all the good advice , I looove watermelon so idk why I didnt think to eat it to keep myself cool . yeaa im thinking about getting a nice two piece , I think it would be more comfortable! for my big belly at least lol . any clothes you would recommend wearing?

I was told by some ppl to stay away from pools and hottubs , but then again iv seen many women in them ? whats the deal with that ? any clues ?

Wear what ever the hell you want! Lol but they do have cute mommy bathing suits to help you from getting belly burn. Listen as women we already have insecurities, we don't need to be concerned about no one's opinion while we are pregnant. Live it up! But stay classy lol

When I was about 20 weeks with my son I went to Turkey which at the time was about 40 degree Celsius which is pretty dam hot compared to UK n I found it hard I drank loads could bearly eat due to sickness but I'm 19 weeks now and again going to go thought summer and going away to Italy in 8 weeks which is going to be about 30-40 degree Celsius there so I'm prepaired this time but will be bigger aswell

[OctoberMommy2014]

yeah, I think it's all in what you make it.. I live in SC and it's not uncommon for the heat index to get up to 110, 115 degrees during the summer, but we're all used to it! I mean.. you literally walk outside & it takes your breath away.

the only difference is I'll be a little bigger, hormonal etc. whatever..
I'll be wearing nothing but maxi dresses, drinking lots of water, eating lots of fruit (especially watermelon!), and relaxing in the pool!

just like @hazel413 said: I'm going to embrace it. hot or not, I'll be happy & looking fabulous doing it!!! good luck girl!! (((((:

[hazel413]

Im sooo glad i avoided summer with both! Summer is hot, people are out n everything is going to bug you. Well it would me. But embrace it mama pregnancy is only as good as you make it

[Ari_nana]

To be honest I still wear a two piece...

[Nellyzz]

its horrible we went through summer around christmas it was nasty I kept crying it was one of the hottest summers. because naturally NZ is quite cold houses here dont come standard with A/C. so I bought a fan and sat infront of that. its getting realll cold here again thank god for that lol

[lil_red421]

I'm from Michigan and I work in a factory. When it's hot outside add another 20 degrees to it plus humidity waking around on cement floors for 8 hrs a night.... I'm not looking forward to being pregnant in the summer. We have people collapse every summer due to heat so I'm going my Dr doesn't want to risk it and takes me off work by the beginning of July.

[Dessypoobear]

Carry around ice packs ! I'm going to be pregnant during the summer and our summers are usually crazy hot

[Estherrr]

Not really my first pregnancy was in the summer it was OK

[promisx]

what kinda of swim suits woukd you ladies consider ?

[contrerasgrl0731]

I was pregnant in the summer with my fidst one but i lived in utah sk it wasnt so bad but with this pregnancy im not due for another 100 days end of july nd live in lubbock  texas OMG its already hot im dreading the summer my hubby already put the pool up so when i cant take it i  just go and float  in the pool lol good luck mamma

[GeekMom1213]

My son was born in the early spring and I wish it had been summer instead so I could've gone swimming more than once before he arrived... feeling weightless when you feel so enormous would be so nice. All that pressure off your back and legs. Sounds heavenly.

[Ari_nana]

Also weird isn't think I crave more fruit now that it's hotter.. Watermelons are great cause of the juice!

[Allocate]

Ouch I forgot about hurricane season. And im a little south of Houston

[Ari_nana]

I'm in Florida.. Biggest thing drink a lot more water, if your going to be outside use sunscreen and reapply every hour a sunburn is bad for you and baby! Beach and pool are amazing at this time I'm 37weeks hate how hot it is but love how beautiful it is outside! But it honestly not that bad as everyone makes it out to be!
