I'm permanently cold

[CarterBeatsTheDevil]

First trimester, just under 6 weeks. Aside from increasing nausea and sore breasts, I'm cold all the time! Anyone else getting this? I'm not worried as I gather it is a symptom of early pregnancy for some people, I just want to whinge about it

Yes! I’ve read that in pregnancy women have raised temperatures but in early pregnancy I’m always freezing cold. I had my winter coat on today in the garden with my toddler playing.

I feel cold, especially in the evenings at the moment. I put it down to tiredness, I’m exhausted.

Yes I was like this for pretty much the first half of my pregnancy, I used to have to sit under a blanket even when the heating was on. I remember being surprised as I expected to be hotter in pregnancy, but nope!

Yes. Same as @Lavenderpurple. I'm 9 weeks and am putting it down to tiredness as I always get cold when I'm tired. Interestingly I woke up in the middle of the night last night boiling hot and dripping with sweat! But this evening I'm cold.

Yep I also get spells of coldness even though my temp tonight was 36.9 xxx doesn't help I can't have a scorching hot bath xx

Not anymore but for the first 10 weeks I was freezing. I kept waking up in the night shaking I thought something was wrong. It’s gone now. Try and keep extra layers on and stay under a blanket when you can. Hopefully it will pass when you get to the second trimister xx

I had this, I was especially cold in the evenings. Worst bit was trying not to have my bath too hot whilst trying to warm up.

I got was so cold when I was pregnant with dd. That was 11 years ago and I still haven't warmed up!

Have you had your iron checked?

I was always cold In the first trimester in all my pregnancies.

Me too in both pregnancies. Really, really cold.

After my first pregnancy I felt warmer all the time (previously I was cold all the time) I seem to have gone back to the really cold phase! Hot water bottle all the time just for warmth it's a joke! I hate being cold it makes me feel so uncomfortable:(

Probably anaemia. I always feel cold when my iron is low.

Aside from anemia, you also might want to have your thyroid checked.

Also worth asking about getting your thyroid checked as super important in pregnancy.

I have this too and never had it in my other pregnancies.
Lots of people I've asked said it went away eventually but it's so random. New symptom for me.

Crossed, @Aquamarine1029!

Oh, I'm driving myself mad with it. I do also get quite warm at night. Right now I'm sitting here in a long sleeved top and a cardigan with blazing sun outside. I'm slightly too warm in the cardigan but the moment it comes off I'm too cold. ARGH.

I did have low iron towards the end of my last pregnancy, I suppose. I'm annoyed because I just talked to the midwife and forgot to mention it! I'll leave a message with them this afternoon.

FWIW I just gave them a ring and they've said that they're now taking all bloods at 12 weeks along with the 12 week scan. They said to start taking a pregnancy vitamin (had completely forgotten although I ham taking folic acid ) and to ask my midwife to add a thyroid test onto my bloods. I asked if I needed to worry in the meantime and they said no so I shall just wait and see, I suppose!
