Freezing cold - would you see someone? (DC2)

I feel crap. 10+3. Had awful morning sickness but now I am managing to eat and drink. Dropped a wee sample off at docs last week - all clear. Booking in appointment bloods all ok.

The thing I’m worried about is how cold I am - I mean frozen to the core, most of the time. Wrapped up in blankets rarely feeling warm. Some days I’ve had a mild temp of 37.8 but I’ve read when you’re pregnant that can be normal.

I don’t remember this with DC1. Would you see anyone or has anyone else felt like this please and it be normal? Getting a GP appointment is such a hassle at my surgery.

Thanks

I've been feeling colder than usual. Currently wearing a fleece, blanket and puppy asleep on my lap and would still prefer more warmth!!

Thanks for replying. Ah really, not alone then! Do you feel unwell or just cold?

I was freezing cold until about 15weeks! I think pregnancy just affects us all differently.

It's normal and nothing to worry about.

You feel cold as a higher amount of your blood is being diverted to you uterus for the baby. Is normal and should pass once the placenta has finished developing at around 18-20 weeks.

After that you will have your own personal hot water bottle and be around 30% warmer than usual!

I was freezing for a couple of weeks in the first trimester and now I've gone the other way! Boiling hot all the time!!!

Get your thyroid checked if you haven't already. I'm cold pretty much all the time (even when it's warm out) and mine is underactive.

I was cold up until about 16 weeks. Now at 21 weeks I’ve started to feel warm again
