I am about 6-7 weeks pregnant now and for the past week I have had cold chills all hours of the day instead of hot flashes. I have gained 7lbs. and am sicker than with my last pregnancy that I had about 4yrs. ago. I wanted to know if anyone has experienced this same thing and what it meant to them.

The vast majority of pregnancies are uncomplicated and end with the birth of a normal, healthy baby. Even when complications do occur, early diagnosis and treatment will often prevent serious problems. Early and regular prenatal care is the best insurance against problems in pregnancy. Regular care enables the doctor to watch for abnormal changes in blood pressure, blood, urine, or weight. Such changes may be warnings of potential problems.
Regular care also helps you learn to recognize the difference between the normal changes your body is going through and those which may represent early warning signs.
It is important that you recognize these early warning signs so that you can notify your doctor or someone at the clinic immediately.
Bleeding, no matter how slight, from the vagina, rectum, nipple, or lungs (coughing blood)
Swelling or puffiness of the face or hands
A SUDDEN LARGE WEIGHT GAIN
Persistent severe swelling of the legs
Severe or repeated headaches
Dimness, blurred vision, flashes of light, or spots before your eyes
Sharp or prolonged pain in your abdomen
Severe or continued vomiting
CHILLS/OR FEVER
Sudden escape of fluid from the vagina
If you notice any of these signs, do not wait for your next checkup. Contact your doctor immediately, so the cause of the problem can be identified and treatment begun.
Following are some of the problems that can occur during pregnancy.
Have you been to the Dr to check iron levels to make sure you aren’t anemic? Anemia can make you cold. Also thyroid problems can cause you to be more cold, I have hypothyroid and this pregnancy I have been freezing and I am 18 wks and still haven’t really been that hot.
it doesn’t mean anything. i would say that i am colder than hot during my pregnancy. i haven’t had a hot flash yet and i am 21 weeks.
