Cool bedroom down

How do you cool bedroom down without opening windows?
We’ve got fan on had curtains shut all day but room is showing 31 my lg hair is soaking wet
I have a big phobia of spiders so I don’t want my windows open through the night what else can I do? I’ve opened the landing window now as last resort but I’ll shut it before bed

Baby 3 at 45?

I have just found out I’m pregnant. Not planned. Baby number one was a miracle at 40 and we were one and done. Then my dad died and the thought of going through it as an only child broke me so we tried and had a 2nd little boy at 43. We are blessed with our family and I’m more than happy with my lot. I have found out I am pregnant again at 45 and selfishly don’t want my life to change, not spoken to anyone yet but have completed my self referral to the midwife. Is 45 too old?

Fan

Are we able to oscillate a fan across a 2 year old? Just so the fan will be on her for 5-10 secs then move across the room? Or should it be completely out of her range?

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed with postpartum care

I had a C section previously and aiming for a VBAC. I got to 8cm so have been advised that all being well it should go smoothly. However, i am overwhelmed with the amount of postpartum care information, particularly found on tiktok..
I have brought always big pants with the pad as this seems would be used in either C section or vaginal however, there seems to be a million other products and i don't want to fork out loads of money to end up not using it. I personally don't want to use frida mom as I think its overpriced and over hyped but seriously.. what do I need and is there any recommendations people can offer that arent ridiculously priced or have 10 million steps before you even pull your pants up! And also, do i need all this stuff? What did people use before consumerism lol ???
