I'm due on June 15th with a baby boy, and have finally succeeded in freezing my husband out of the house! Normally, he prefers the temperature about 5 degrees cooler than I do, but now I'm preferring it about 5 degrees cooler than he does! The past couple of nights have been chilly here in Houston, and I've let our house get down to about 65-degrees, and have kept the fan on. Feels wonderful to me, but poor DH is sleeping with two blankets! LOL!
As for the swelling, I'm finding that the hotter I get, the more I swell. If I'm cool and able to lay on my left side for about an hour, that tends to bring some relief.
Other than that, I'm feeling pretty great too!
I'm looking forward to a son as well. :0)
Me too! I've always slept with a window open, even just cracked in the dead of winter, because of where my room sits in the house. But recently have kept the fans going and the window all the way open... :0D But... ya know... he can deal with it for a little while.
And I've noticed that about the swelling as well. Yesterday it was BAD. But I can't lay on my left side, it is the most uncomfortable position for me to lay in by far, I know that they suggest you do that for health reasons etc. but I just can't!
