Early pregnancy hot flashes

I'm only just over 4 weeks but keep waking up with a racing heart and feeling incredibly hot. Temp just now was 38.63 (been charting so easily to hand).

Dr Google had me a bit worried! I did get a temp of 39 just before I mc earlier this year. I remember pregnancy did make you hot but should I be concerned? (Google mentioned tommys charity and neural tube defects :/)

I've taken paracetamol. I have a mild cough, worse due to asthma, but I really don't think it's that. Luckily have gp appt tomorrow anyway. (File this under preg anxiety!)

Woah! The things that seem a good idea at 2am, eh? Step away from google.

Lower respiratory infection sounds by far the most likely explanation Flowers

Thanks. Rational head says that.

Better not be, I'm about to finish antibiotics for a uti. Angry doesn't feel like a resp infection.

Only other thing is that something odd happened to my thyroid levels last preg (ended in mc) - I'm hypo but went to high.

A sensible mn thread has pointed out it's only just fever level if that. And not an issue.

It woke me up I was so hot. Ugh the joys of pregnancy insomnia.

Thyroid would make sense too.

Pregnancy isn't like the soft focus ads is it? Grin

Whenever I waa having a bit of a hot flush in pregnancy I found that spraying myself with Body Shop's peppermint foot s
pray or just water was bliss.

No it's not serf!

Should hot flashes go into fever territory? Heart racing too. I don't remember this with my son but it did happen before a mc. This morning I'm right down to 37 again.
