Does pregnancy cause shivering?

Question

Lately, I've been feeling shivers and coldness even when the room temperature is normal. I'm wondering if this could be related to my pregnancy. Does pregnancy cause shivering sometimes?

Hormonal shifts and changes in blood circulation can cause chills. Just keep check on your body temperature; if you have a fever, please contact your doctor.

I had intense shivering right after my delivery and C-section, which is common. During pregnancy, mild chills can happen, but check if you have a fever.

Shivering can happen due to rapid hormonal changes. My MIL gave me warm milk, but I still mentioned it to my doctor just to be completely safe.

I feel cold and shiver sometimes too, so I just use it as an excuse to drink hot ginger tea! Just make sure you don't have a high fever.

I sometimes get sudden chills or shivering out of nowhere in the evening. Is this normal or is anyone else experiencing this too?

It can be so scary when your body acts differently. I had shivering in my first trimester, just wrap yourself in a warm blanket and rest well.

Sometimes thyroid fluctuations or hormonal shifts cause this. It's better to get your regular blood tests done and show the reports to your gynac.
