Hot flashes?

I feel absolutely crazy but that's the only apt description. Face/scalp/neck/shoulders will feel absolutely flushed and hot, as though I've been sitting with my face too close to a big campfire. Mostly happens at night but I had one at work earlier as well. Goes away after a few moments and then I sit shivering for a while. Not feverish. Just passed the 5 week mark and I'm only 25. What the heck? Anyone else going through something similar?

  • Yes, this just started happening to me yesterday!  I'm just hot from the inside out....throughout the day and night.

  • This happens every time m/s is about to whoop my ass :neutral: 
  • Definitely! My face actually turns bright red and I feel so overwhelmingly hot. Usually it happens with morning sickness or if I'm really upset (which happens more frequently now).
  • Yes! This has been happening to me. I'm 24. I keep thinking our A/C is broken. My husband usually runs REALLY hot and I always run REALLY cold. Usually he is sweating bullets while I feel slightly chilled. However this past week I've had these moments that suddenly hit me and I'm sweating, hot, and I have to get up and walk around fanning myself and his reaction is "It actually feels pretty good in here... I think you're just pregnant." LOL

  • Totally normal. It's the change in your body's estrogen that causes it. Your brain basically counter-reacts to the change by releasing a couple of other hormones that increase blood flow. 

    It's really gross when it turns into night sweats and you wake up shivering in soaked sheets :(
