27 weeks shivering and unwell

[Jmcd2020]

Today I felt like I had pins and needles in my bump for most of the morning. All of a sudden early afternoon my teeth started chattering and I was shivering uncontrollably. I still feel quite unwell. I’m 27 weeks. Has anyone had anything like this?

You should probably phone 111.

please call 111

Meant to add that movements seem okay

Call 111

I would call the labour ward. They told me to use them as A&E for anything that could be even remotely related to my pregnancy.

Call your labour ward or whoever is on your notes for advice.

Potential sepsis risk - much more likely to be a regular virus or summer dehydration/heatstroke but you definitely don’t want to mess around with any sepsis risk. And you are more at risk of sepsis while pregnant. I assume you have a fever also if shivering? Are you urinating regularly? Please go and get urgent medical care right now.

Ring maternity triage Op hope you are okay 👌

Oh goodness I didn’t expect these replies. The pains have eased off and the shivering / chattering didn’t last long..l I don’t want to sound like a drama queen if I call...

That's exactly what they are there for. Don't hesitate to use them.

You're not a drama queen. They won't think you are. It's better to know there's nothing wrong than to sit worrying about it surely?

Could be flu but sepsis has similar symptoms, go to a&e and don't leave until they do the rapid sepsis test, seriously, missed too often

Thank you everyone, I will call for advice x

I had this very early on in my pregnancy, about 8 weeks. Spent the whole day shivering uncontrollably and feeling feverish, no other symptoms and I was fine by the next day.
I would call triage just to be on the safe side!!

Could be a UTI, definitely worth getting checked.

any update? i hope all is well

Feeling completely fine today thankfully! Think it was just a weird few hours but definitely back to normal now. Thanks so much for all your replies x
