It is said that when you're pregnant, it's like having a little stove in your body. The baby is an extra source of heat. Well, my wife is putting that statement to the test right now.

We are having our second heat wave in The Netherlands right now. Normally my wife would be the one that had the least problems with this heat. But now she's just knocked down by the weather. I hope that she doesn't have to give birth during this heat wave. We don't have air conditioning, but I read that you cannot use aircon anyway when you're in labor, because it would be then too cold for the new born baby.

Are there also advantages to having the end of your pregnancy in the summer? Sure: since you're wearing less layers of clothes in the summer, you'd have to buy less more pregnancy clothes. Unless you like shopping of course :)
