Even maternity shops have seasons
One thing that’s very noticeable locally is that there are an awful lot of very pregnant women walking around at the moment so it looks like there’ll be queues in the baby bedding shops pretty soon.
We found that having John in the summer here was pretty peculiar. Despite the temperatures outside being getting on for 40c in the shade, and it being even hotter inside the maternity wing, the nurses still insisted on putting three layers of clothing on him every time they walked into the room. OK, I know, you’re supposed to keep newborns wrapped up, but that’s a custom from a cold climate that’s just not appropriate for a hot one. After all, when he was inside the temperature was only 37c!
