Freezing during pregnancy

[quesadillas]

Hi,

8 weeks into second pregnancy and I'm absolutely freezing. Anyone else? I know it's February but this is excessive. I'm never warm. As an example, yesterday evening I was wearing fleecy pyjama trousers, long sleeve top, thick socks, slipper boots, massive jumper, slanket and had another blanket over me and I couldn't get warm. Feet are the worst. I'm never normally like this. DH reckons it's because I've got morning sickness and I'm not eating very much.

Any ideas? Is it normal?

Me too! I'm 12 and a half weeks with my second and constantly cold since Christmas really! At least it's the right time of year for layers eh.

Hi Quesadillas,

I'm getting this you and am around 8 weeks pregnant.

I'm struggling to maintain any sense of control over my body temperature and I too am constantly freezing- I wondered if it was linked to blood pressure? As I tend to have low blood pressure in the start of pregnancy, could that be the same for you?

The only thing I'm trying to do is keep on top of my fluid intake - like yourself my food intake is hit and miss depending on how yuck I'm feeling.

I don't have any answers but it may be worth mentioning to your MW at your booking in appointment.

This is my third btw, and I didn't get like this with the other two.

I wondered about blood pressure as mine is usually very low generally.

No booking in appointment yet, but that's another story.....

Glad I'm not the only shivering one! I wasn't like this with DS but it was June at this point in that pregnancy. I probably moaned about being too hot then!

iron levels can play a part to from what I've been told. I'm due in a few weeks and suffered with feeling cold entire pregnancy really!

I'm usually a bit cold anyway but am also finding that I'm extra cold at the moment (8-9 weeks) so am sitting on sofa with scarf on and extra thick cardi on top of jumper, with fleecy blanket too, and I still feel a bit chilly.

My friend also felt v cold during first trimester of her pregnancy and she's never usually a cold person.

Just one of the many joys I guess...!

I've been freezing as well, really struggling to get anywhere near warm!
