The Need for Air Conditioning Increases During Pregnancy

There are certain times in life when we have different priorities.

  • Right now, one of my biggest priorities is getting safely through my pregnancy.

If you have never been pregnant or lived with a pregnant woman, you are probably unaware about how pregnancy changes a person. All those hormones make a pregnant woman more emotional. Also, they make her more hot! Never in my life have I felt so blessed to have a/c than I do right now. If I did not have air conditioning during these nine months, I think I would quite literally go insane. I am forever turning the thermostat setting a few degrees lower, and I have noticed that my husband is walking around wearing his hoodie over his t-shirt. This is the only time in our life together when I have seen him cold. It seems that before I was carrying his child, I was always the one who wanted the a/c to be set just a little warmer. BUt not so right now! I think he is beginning to understand how challenging it can be when your spouse is always setting the thermostat to be colder than where you like it. I have news for him, though. I am also considering getting a little portable a/c unit for the bedroom. It seems like the nighttimes are when I need the a/c the most. For some reason, I get night sweats, which is also probably related to the hormones. If you need to get more air conditioning going in your house to get you through the rough times of pregnancy, by all means do it.
