Did anyone else always feel really cold during pregnancy? This must be the weirdest symptom I've had so far, but almost every day I'm really really cold. Even when our house is 74 degrees at night, I've been wearing 2-3 layers & sweats + socks - even to bed. The OB said I might have a very limited range of temperature I can be comfortable at right now, but I think thyroid issue is ruled out with bloodwork. My DH wants to kill me when I want to turn the heater on everyday.

Pregnancy was the only time I felt normal, temperature-wise! Every other day of my life I've been cold.
-
Yep! I ran cold in both pregnancies but much moreso this time! It's gotten better at 25 wk's!
-
Yes!! Me! Soooo cold. I don't remember this last time but this time I am walking around with blankets on and sleeping in sweaters.
-
Yes! It was so strange because I normally run warm but I was so cold all the time! I did find out I was anemic at some point so maybe that played a role?
-
Yep, both times. Each time I've been due in the summer, but the first time I never felt godawfully hot. I'm a low weight gainer in pregnancy (12 pounds the first one, 10 pounds this one at 25 weeks), and I think that has to do with it.
-
Yep I've been cold!
-
Yes! I'm freezing! When I was pregnant with LO1 the nurses kept warning me "soon you'll be sweating all the time!!". Nope. I was cold the whole pregnancy. It's been in the 80s here this week and yet last night I was at the dinner table in long pants, long sleeves and wrapped in a fur blanket. Hubs was sweating in shorts and a t shirt.
-
Yes! When I was pregnant with DS I was freezing the entire first trimester, especially at night! I was sleeping with a robe on every night. It evened out as the pregnancy went on.
-
Yep. I ended up having a circulation issue (Raynauds) after having my baby, and then something else crazy (Chilblains) after weaning.
I am still cold ... always. DH doesn't understand.
-
Yes! I remember saying to DH that I thought you were supposed to run hot in pregnancy, but I was always cold, especially in the first tri.
-
With my first I ran hot but this time I'm freezing! I actually hope it keeps up because I'm due in October and am somewhat dreading being huge and hot all summer.
-
I was really cold for the first two months of this pregnancy!
-
Glad to hear it's somewhat common! I told the nurse practitioner today that I was still running cold and she looked at me like I was a weirdo. I'm thinking it might be a good thing as I'll be hugely pregnant in the summer, but I wish I could sleep comfortably (temperature-wise).
@MrsF: OMG, this has been me in the first trimester! I was going to sleep with my thick fleece robe on!
-
@shopaholic: Yes! ME!! I am 8+1 and exactly the same way. No thyroid issue either (what came up when I googled this a coupe weeks ago) bc I also had blood work recently. What is the deal?? I used to be the person who was hot all the time!
-
Just my hands and feet which is weird!
-
Yep, I run cold in general. I was pretty cold up until recently around 30 or so weeks. Right now at 32 weeks, I'm feeling a lot warmer probably because we're prepping our condo for sale.
-
yes!! that was me for my second pregnancy. so strange!
for this 3rd one I've been more normal-ish.
-
Yup, I was freezing yesterday. I put gloves on and used a blanket during work. I asked my boss to feel my head to make sure I didn't have a fever.
Oh, pre-pregnancy I was always cold but a fleece coverup usually did the trick.
-
I've noticed this (although I always tend to get cold pretty easily- maybe just not this bad) but I never connected it to being a pregnancy thing!
