Feeling Cold During Pregnancy, Brrrrr
Posted: 04-06-05 14:38pm

Hi everyone,

everything I read about pregnancy symptoms says that most women get warm duirng pregnancy b/c their body temperature rises a bit. Well, i'm having the opposite problem. I'm about 6 weeks pg and i'm sooo coooold. I walk outside in the 70 deg sunshine and I need a jacket. My arms and legs are freezing. I feel like i'm living in a refrigerator. I'm shivering all the time. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes! I have been experiencing that too. I am constantly getting goosebumps and the chills. I am 5 weeks pregnant, and I have no idea if it is normal or not, but besides that, the only weird thing going on with my body is really sore boobs.

Hi cleosmom, i'm also about 5 or 6 weeks along, and i've been having the same problem. I'm just wondering what you found out from the doctor. Iron is a good guess, I never thought of that. Any info you can share would be great!

The first thing that came to my mind was .Anemia. So ask your .Dr about your red blood count. They might prescribe some iron supplements for you.
I was comfy in my temp. Until about 4 months...Then I started sweating like a man!! Lol...It's not that bad, but it got worse. The bigger I get, the more I sweat. Dr. Says it's the baby's added body heat with mine. Plus, we're breaking records down here in .New .Orleans with the heat. It's already topped 90, and that was in the beginning of .April!!

Let us know!!
