Speaking from experience...Yes...I believe
it is normal. I got hot flashes a lot
after the first trimester!

Good, because I was beginning to think I
have a weird fever or something. The
other night my husband got up and slept on
the couch because I was putting off so
much heat.

It is just like when women go through
menopause, it is the horomonal changes
your body is going through, some people
get them, some don,t... And then others
get them for the ones that don't... Sorry
it sounds like you are in the last group
and I hate being hot at all, so I hate the
ones I do get, couldn't imagine having
them all day!!!

I am about four to five weeks pregnant and
for the last week I have been getting hot
flashes in the mornings. When I shed a
little clothes or pull up my sleeves, I
then go into a cold flash or chills. The
word "chills" is very scary for me because
any internet search says this is a
dangerous symptem to watch out for. My
doctor does not seemed to be worried
though? I need to know why he is not
worried. Does anyone else get hot flashes
followed by chills?

I am 10 weeks pregnant and feel like my
temperature has been all over the place.
I also have hot flashes during the day out
of the blue, and it's embarrassing. I
still haven't told my co-workers i'm
pregnant so I have no reasonable way to
explain why I turn beet red for no reason
and have to take off my sweater. :oops:
then in the evenings, I get really
chilly, more so than usual...And I live in
ca where it's been warm lately so it makes
no sense. Anyway, I think it's all part
of the fun of being pregnant. I read a
good book that said if you don't get one
symptom, you'll get another....So I guess
this is my trade off for not having
hemorrhoids or major morning sickness.
Hang in there!!! :wink:

i am so releived to find somebody who is
also having hot flashes and cold chills!
You've described exactly what i'm
experiencing. My doctor says its one of
the symtoms of pregnancy but I haven't
found much written about it. And since
we've decided not to tell anyone about the
pregnancy until after the third month, I
haven't been able to ask friends and
family. It has been going on for a month
but as I also had a bad cold I thought it
was the cold. Now the cold symtoms are
gone but not the hot flashes and cold
chills. I am in my 7th week. But I do
wish to learn more about why it occurs and
perhaps how to avoid it if possible.

I am 21 weeks preggers and I just woke up
this morning freaking out because I was
soakin wet with sweat. Thank god I can
across this site, I was about to call my
doc. He said that this would happen but I
didnt think like this. I have another
question though. What is the best thing
to eat when you feel like you have waited
to long. You are past the hungry stage
(that only lasted about 30 mins) and now
you feel sick. Im always out and about
and try to keep something with me, but
sometimes I forget. I cant stand crackers
and I need something new to try. Please
help me out on this one thank you

I have always carried snacks..But now I
have a reason!! I understand what your
saying about crackers...I started making a
snack mix, I use a sandwich baggie and
fill it full with gold fish crackers,
raisins, banana chips or dried fruits,
nuts and pretzels. That way I have a
variety...I also carry pineapples chunks
in the little containes cause they taste
good cold or hot, and juice pouches!!!
Good luck finding snacks..Healthy happy
pregnancy!!! :d

hi, the part about the
hot flashes so to speak ..My daugher is 20
and she is 7 1/2 months along and she is
having hot flashes reallllllllllllllly bad
that they make her so sick and that she
feels like she is going to throw up. I
called the hospital and they told me for
her to eat small meals and alot of fluids
and stay out of heat ..Also to put cold
washcloth on her neck , under her arms and
behind her knees when this happens,that is
your hot spots ..But, I think she has
found a nice cool bath is simply great.
About the cracker part. They told my
daughter is suck on ice cubes and that did
help even though I know you can't keep
them in your purse...Lolol good luck with
your baby.

Nearly 7 Weeks

I am so glad I found this site. Its such
a relief to find out that i'm not alone.
I am having sickness in the morning,
afternoon, evening, and night. I have
hot flashes every now and then and lots of
cold chills. The thing that bothers me
the most is not being able to eat. I
used to love food. But now the thought of
most things makes me sick. I have
actually lost a few pounds from not eating
properly. My doctor said she's seen that
happen a lot. I hate eating crackers and
often find myself waiting to long to eat
and end up feeling sick. The one thing
that I can actually keep down is a bowl of
cereal. Cheerios and special k with
strawberries so far with lactose free
milk. I would love to hear others
suggestions on what to eat.

Hi I am 30 weeks prego and sorry to let
yall know the hot flashes only get
worse!!!!! I can't seem to get cooled
off at all and they last all day long.
As soon as I get home I shed all my
clothes and get a huge glass of ice water
but nothing seems to help!!! The doc
says it is all normal due to hormonal
changes. And it supposedly wont go away
till the baby is born.

Ok, I am glad to know I am not the only
one here with this problem. I thought I
was crazy. I am 33 yrs. Old and this is
my third child. My oldest is 15! My
husband and I decided to start what some
call a second family...Even though both
our children are ( biologically our
children ) , some people think because of
the age difference between our kids that
we might have a blended family...But we
have been married since we were 18...We
never found it easy to conceive so our
children are spaced out...One is 15 and
one is 8. So this time we got
help...After many infertilty treatments
and fertility shots...I had an iui done to
conceive this baby. I am 14 weeks
pregnant. I had terrible morning sickness
with both of my other children right to
the day I delivered each of them. I was
even hospitialized with our first born for
being so sick and dehydrated. For this
baby I have not had morning sickness. I
get weak feeling, and sometimes faint and
I don't sleep well, but no throwing up.
So I felt I got off easy this time. I
could eat food and actually enjoy this
pregnancy then came the hot flashes. I
thought I was crazy...Hot one minute, cold
the next...I thought all the hormones and
fertility shots I took to conceive this
baby had thrown my system into early
menopause or just messed up my hormones.
I want to try for more children after this
baby is born and thought I might be on
borrowed time because I had never heard of
someone having hot flashes unless they
were starting menopause. I am so happy to
know I am not alone and others have had
them too. My baby seems to be fine and
growing well, I am 14 weeks...So I think
everything is fine even though I have
experienced the hot flashes. I do not get
them as much now as I did earlier in the
pregnancy...So maybe they will go away
completely.
