I've been tracking my basal body temperature, and it seems a bit lower than I expected. Is it possible for body temperature to be low in the very early stages of pregnancy?
My mother-in-law told me hormonal changes can make you feel cold or hot suddenly. But please do not ignore it if you feel very weak. It is always safer to mention this to your doctor during the next checkup.
Any unusual symptom in early pregnancy should be discussed with your gynac. Don't rely on google or guess things. Just call your doctor's clinic and ask if they need to see you.
My body temperature used to fluctuate a lot, so I avoided heavy workouts and stuck only to light walking as permitted by my doctor. Make sure you are not over-exerting yourself and rest well.
Please get your thyroid levels checked once. I had low body temp and felt constantly cold, and it turned out to be hypothyroidism which is common in pregnancy. Gynac will easily guide you after a quick blood test.
I actually felt so cold in my first few weeks, all I wanted was piping hot ginger tea and warm pakodas! The body does weird things early on. Just eat something warm and see if you feel better.
Because of my PCOS, my hormones were already messy and early pregnancy felt so confusing with temperature drops and chills. Don't stress too much but definitely keep your doctor in the loop about how you are feeling.
