I keep feeling so warm these days, like my body is constantly running hot even when others are comfortable. Im 5 months along. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or am i overthinking it?
Yes, you feel warmer because blood flow increases so much, totally normal. I used to feel hot even in AC. Just wear loose cotton clothes and drink plenty of water, that's the simplest fix.
Beta yes the body stays warm, in our families they say avoid too much 'garam' food like papaya and pineapple. I'd say just eat in moderation and keep yourself hydrated with coconut water, nice and cooling.
Feeling warm is normal, but I'll just add, if you actually get fever or feel feverish, don't brush it off as normal pregnancy heat. I ignored it once and it turned out to be an infection. Check temp and call doc if it's real fever.
Tell me about it, I'm basically a walking heater right now and my husband has given up on sharing the blanket. Cotton kurtis and a hand fan are my best friends these days.
