Attempts at staying cool are futile
As Steph Montgomery put it while writing for Romper,
“Trying to stay cool while wearing a living space heater on your abdomen is no joke.”
The energy that goes into nourishing your baby, along with the extra blood needed to support your growing bambino, not only can create fatigue, but it makes you hotter too.
There are things you can do to get a break from the sprawled out beached whale feeling, such as taking a dip in the pool or sipping on iced beverages.
While these only provide temporary relief, any moment of normalcy should be embraced with open arms.
