I'm in Ohio too! I've been coping well so far, but....like the other posters, we have AC. Though it's still at least 80 degree upstairs in our bedroom at night.
Can you not get a second AC unit for a different room in your house? Cause when it get's into the high 90s (and above) you're really going to be suffering without AC.
Last time I was pregnant we were living in the hot California valley. I was 8 months pregnant when our AC broke in the middle of the summer. Temps around 100 everyday. Took the landlord 3 days to get it fixed. I really suffered through that.
That has to be awful at night! Our room is decent enough to sleep in, but with my hips hurting at night, the couch is a much better option, so I get it! It's about 80 in our living room every night.
We're only on one income for the time being, but I am going to ask DH about investing in a second AC unit for our room. Right now I'm stripped down in our bedroom with fans on and windows open and I'm still sweating like a pig. It's miserable.
It'd be so nice to have unit in our room. Get our room and DD's room cool and then just close off the rest of the house and we'll all just chill back here. Would be so nice.
I don't know how you got through those 100 degree days without AC! I think I would have died. 80s is bad enough lol
I am in Ontario and we have really not had it too bad this year...knock on wood. We have not really gotten out of the 70's much. But it is still early. July and August are our hot months and I will be 8 and 9 months preggo at that time....yeah, perfect timing.
We have central air and I will definitely be using it this summer. So far we have been keeping the windows open and we are getting a great breeze through the house.
I think July and August are usually our hot months as well. I think this year it just got hot super early. Normally May and June aren't too bad for us, but this year, of course, it has to be brutal lol I'm content with low 70s and nothing higher lol
I had DD at the end of August 2013 and I don't remember it being this hot then. I mean it was still hot and had fans on, but I don't remember it being this bad.
I live in the South, so it's HOT and getting hotter. It's been around 93 each day for the past week. During July and August it will get up to around 110 outside. I cope OK, mostly because I spend all day at work in the air and I keep my house AC around 72-75. I also don't wear much in the house and have been wearing dresses outside.
The only time I have issues in running errands, so I do that in the evening or morning. I can't imagine how you sleep without central air conditioning. Down here it wouldn't be possible.
I do have a question though, how are you guys handling exercise/walking. I can't walkout side. It's way to hot. I have some videos, but they're boring. Thinking about getting a gym membership just to walk on the treadmill.
I don't know how anyone in the south does it! I think having AC would be essential.
I gave up on trying to exercise or walk. I tried walking early before it would get too hot, but it's blazing almost as soon as I wake up (though it might be considered walking weather for you lol). And we can't afford a gym membership. But if you can do a membership, might be worth it as I'm sure they keep it cool in there!
I've been asking DH to set up our treadmill in the basement (where it'd be a little cooler) since I found out I was pregnant at the beginning of January. It's still not set up (it's been sitting in our garage for about a year now). I gave up on asking him to do it (though in his defense, he's pretty busy, especially now).
Do you have any pools around and maybe go swimming?
Knowing today was going to be really hot, I've confined myself to the cooler, but still hot bedroom with 2 fans on and both windows open (and stripped down). I had to go shopping this morning, so I took my time so I could enjoy being in a cool environment. I was about to drag my shopping out to an hour and a half plus a 30 minute round trip of a nicely air conditioned car.
The second DH turned off the box fan this morning in our living room, I started to sweat almost instantly. We don't have it on (and unplugged) for safety reasons with DD, so we can only have it on when she's in bed or not home. I was trying to get the both of us out the door. It was so hot that I felt like I was going to pass out.
I think there's one of those fan necklaces or something and some can even squirt water. I think? If so, I really want one lol
I may even jump in the shower soon for a bit of a cool down.
I'm kidding 
So jealous though!
