I've been feeling unusually warm lately, almost like a fever sometimes, but I don't have one. Can feeling warmer than usual be a sign of early pregnancy?
Yes, your metabolism is running high so feeling warm is expected. I had to modify my evening walks to early mornings to avoid overheating. Just stay hydrated and don't overexert yourself without checking with your doctor.
I completely understand why you are worried, I used to check my temperature ten times a day because I felt so warm! It's actually just your basal body temperature rising due to pregnancy hormones. It's totally normal, so try not to stress too much.
My grandmother used to say the body gets warm because of 'garmi' and told me to drink tender coconut water. While that helped keep me hydrated, my doctor reassured me it's just increased blood circulation. Trust your doctor and keep yourself cool with loose cotton clothes.
Yes, feeling warm is very common due to increased progesterone and blood flow. But please make sure it's not a high fever, as that can be risky in the early weeks. If you feel actually feverish, please check with your doctor immediately.
Oh, I panicked so much thinking I had a fever in my 6th week! I even called my gynac in a sweat, but she laughed and said it's just progesterone doing its job. It is completely normal, so just turn up the AC and relax.
