Temperature Control

Has anyone else had this. The last two nights I have been really really hot with a really flushed face and sweating. It doesn't matter what I do I cannot cool down, I even went and stood outside last night, but all it did was make me shiver but not cool down internally.

I know its not good to get hot during pregnancy, but it is my body doing it. Its not like I am sitting with heaps of clothes on in a super hot house or anything, our house with its wooden floorboards is quite cool.

In saying this though, over the last few weeks I have really been feeling the cold badly, so I wonder if it is my body trying to sort out my temperature control because I am pregnant? I really don't know, I have my m/w tomorrow so will talk to her about it too.

I know pregnancy can heat you up, but seriously this much??!!

I was always hot when preggers. DH would be sitting in the living room with blankets etc and I would be sitting there in a singlet top! In bed I'd just have the sheet over me and the window still open and DH would have the duvet plus an extra wool blanket.

I never got cold though..

Have you tried having a cold drink to bring down your temperature?

I'd be really interested to know what the midwife says

Well my worrying got the better of me and I rang the m/w. She said that it could be hormonal and that if I feel fine and if its not a temperature due to infection somewhere, it most definately will be my hormones and the hot water bottle baby in my belly will only add to the heat.

I am just so anxious about everything at the moment.   We went and visited my SIL's 3 day old baby last night and I have been really anxious ever since. She is so beautiful, perfect and so so tiny and its just made me really anxious that I hope everything is o.k with our baby (even though our scan last Thursday showed everything was absolutely fine). Probably doesn't help that I have a uni exam tomorrow, so that is adding to my anxiety. O.k now I am wayyyyyy off topic.......maybe if I add stress into the mix, I could probably answer my own damn question!

I am such a worrier, I just feel like crying today
