Feeling cold in early pregnancy

[newmumtobe66]

Hiya, Is feeling cold and shivery in early pregnancy normal? Thank you

Hi, not just yet, got bfp yesterday and I have really really sore legs/shins! But i have read that you can feel a little colder.

I have been feeling freezing, particularly in the afternoons for the past week. Currently 5+5, and sat wrapped up in multiple layers in front of a heater, while DH is in shorts and t-shirt. This is definitely an early pregnancy thing for me!

I felt soooo cold my first trimester. I think it’s from feeling tired maybe ? But by third trimester I was boiling , even in winter during a cold snap lol!

My temperature has been up and down all over the place. Had this with my first as well. Hormone levels change rapidly and can mess up many of your normal systems, unless you’re feeling very unwell with it I’d just wrap up warm and snuggle down.

I'm feeling cold as well, I'm 8 weeks now but during my last pregnancy I was boiling, even in december

I'm always freezing in first trimester x

Yes, I was like this this time in the 1st trimester. Don’t remember it with my other 2.

Oh good to know it is normal. I was an oven at one point, now I am freezing!

Yeah it's very normal x

Yes! My first pregnancy was virtually symptom free in the first trimester save for freezing cold feet and an aversion to orange food!! I used to wear two pairs of my socks with a pair of DH’s hiking socks on top!

It’s been really cold the past week- so could just be that. How are your iron levels?

I am not sure I would need to check as actually I am quite prone to anaemia

I've been having this on this pregnancy, to be honest I thought being pregnant made you more hot and I don't remember it in my first pregnancy but I'm literally cold
All the tonbut I'm 13 weeks now so maybe it can just be one of those symptoms xx

Yeah I've been freezing every day for weeks. Don't remember being like this with my first but we were in a heatwave then so think I was too hot instead!

8 weeks here. Freezing all day, on fire at night. It's wild

I was the same in my first trimester. It would usually hit me in the evenings...along with severe nausea.

My feet would be frozen and needed a hot water bottle to warm up.

When I asked the midwife at my over the phone booking appointment she said it was low blood sugar and to eat more. Though I couldn't stomach a single thing at the time

Same here. I usually spend the day with a t-shirt and two jumpers on. I have a real aversion to getting cold or the idea of being cold, which is weird.

I was freezing in the first trimester, which I didn't realise was a pregnancy thing! Hope you warm up soon

Another one here feeling chilly, I'm at seven weeks

I've been freezing especially in the evening have 2 layers on and wrapped in a fleecy blanket OH is in shorts because apparently the heating is up to high 😂

I am the same and asked this question about 2 weeks ago! I wasn't like this in my previous pregnancy. Midwives weren't bothered - they suggested I take a pregnancy vitamin as well as folic acid to see if it was iron but they weren't concerned at all. They also thought unlikely to be my thyroid as I have never had any problems before and it was tested as part of routine tests quite recently.

Ha I was thinking the same!! I'm only 4 weeks 2 days but I've been freezing and shivering!! Having to wrap up loads.
