Is anyone else constantly freezing?

LansL · February 2015

hi guys, this is my first pregnancy after 4 years of trying and I have no idea what to expect. I'm 5 + 6 today so still very early, however pretty much been cold all the time. Our heating is on 21C and I am geared up in full tracksuit, thick socks but still not warm enough until I have two fleece blankets on too. Anyone else have something similar? Should I be worried?

Don't be worried, you're either hot or cold when pregnant
I am freezing constantly and have to wear almost winter clothes even though it's summer here, was the same with my first pregnancy. All of your blood supply is focused on your pelvis right now.
Some women feel hot when they are pregnant thanks to the progesterone and some just don't!

I mainly feel a constant cooking from the inside out even though my temps are fine (elevated for me at a 98.8 my norm is 96.9-97.6) but my word the constant hot flash is awful. #-o
With my son I was constantly cold Even through the summer in my third trimester, I wore jeans and bundled up.

I'm always freezing I thought I was crazy! Glad to know I'm not the only one

Reassuring to find out it's normal. I was worrying that something might be wrong

Absolutely freezing every day ! Make sure you're getting your iron in also

Same here! I was shivering last night, my husband thought I was crazy!

I was warm the first couple of weeks, but now I'm back to being cold (pretty normal for me), esp. at work! But when I get warm, I'm hot!

I'm cold too most of the time now. Glad to know I'm not the only one!!

I'm all over the place. Between boiling hot and throwing off all the blankets at night to huddled up in as many layers as I can find. I'm reminding myself of my mother when she was going through menopause.

Yes!!! I used to be comfy in my house and now I'm jacking up the heat even higher! My husband doesn't appreciate it. My pajamas these days consist of sweatpants, t shirt, sweatshirt, and fleece socks!

Me too but it's freezing where I live so I'm not sure if it's just the weather, the pregnancy or a combination of the two!

Soooooooo cold over here! My electric blanket is my bff!

Freezing - and it definitely gets worse at night! Glad I'm not alone!

teacherjess87 · February 2015

I've been wearing a knee length parka while teaching.... Always freezing!

MamaOwl15 · February 2015

Totally! It's weird to me because when I was pregnant with my son I was constantly hot, but I'm always bundled up in a hoodie, wool socks, and two blankets.

leannebernardez · February 2015

I am cold outside of pregnancy, but even more so while pregnant. I have to take a really hot shower if I want to get warm!

Lally21 · February 2015

yes, yes, yes!! And it's summer here (though not terribly warm at the moment), so i feel so stupid bundling up every time I head out anywhere

Remley5 · February 2015

Yes!! haha I always had hot flashes with my other two so I was so confused as to why I'm freezing all the time! So funny these symptoms lol

I'm freezing all the time but that is normal for me.. i sleep w/lots of blankets but this past week i've been waking up in a sweat almost every night.

krystal1209 · February 2015

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I swear I thought just because I'm having twins this time around that's the reason why I'm always cold.....yesss it's not just me

When I used to say I was cold my dad would say "here's some matches, light yourself on fire"

lirunyc09 · February 2015
