Showering advice needed...

[Aylaissi]

While pregnant did anyone else have an extreme discomfort with water temperatures? If so how did you deal with it?

Warm water of any sort makes me light headed, nauseous, faint, and/or even vomit. Cold water... Well who likes cold water? It is like ice needles and makes me miserable, but I seem to have no other option since obviously showering is important.

I checked my blood sugar, because I know that can be an issue. However it is fine. I asked my doctor about it, and all he said was that heat intolerance is not that uncommon for some pregnant women.... Well great but that still does not help with the issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I would really like to be able to enjoy my showers again instead of looking at them with dread.

Have no idea how you can over come this. Can you take a bath instead? Perhaps the standing & bending over is making you feel the way you do. Hope that it improves for you.

I actually didn't have this problem at all when pregnant. I agree with sallyskidshop about perhaps bathing instead of showering. I remember I preferred to bath anyway when I was pregnant but towards the end I did need help getting out lol
