Generally, hot flushes are more common in the second trimester and third trimester. Flushes may also continue after your baby arrives, especially if you’re breastfeeding. Try these tips to keep cool: -Wear layers of loose clothing. You can then remove layers if you feel too hot. -Wear clothes made from natural fibres, such as cotton and linen, which allow more air to circulate near your skin. -Keep your bedroom cool to help you sleep better through night-time flushes. If it’s hot during the day, leave the curtains closed so your room doesn’t warm up. -Buy a spray bottle and fill it with water. Spritz your face regularly to cool you down. Or keep a hand-held mini fan in your bag. -Take an extra shower a day to help you feel fresh. Pop some wipes in your bag to freshen your face while you’re at work.
