Trying to stay cool during your third trimester can feel like a fool's errand, especially for all of the late summer/early fall moms-to-be. But we promise there are ways to find relief, even if only for a moment.
Seven Tips to Beat the Heat
1. Wear breathable loose clothing
2. Use portable mini fan
3. Cool baths/showers
4. Keep feet elevated so your body isn't working to hard when you're sitting
5. Eat frozen snacks
6. Ice Packs (we highly recommend ticking one in your back bra strap)
7. HYDRATE!! Drink LOTS of water
