Is it ok to feel cold during pregnancy?

Question

Everyone says pregnancy makes u feel warm but im the opposite, I keep feeling cold and reaching for a shawl even now. Im in my second trimester. Is this normal or should I mention it to my gynac?

Suchitra Maheshwari · Answer

Feeling a bit cold or having changing temperature sense is fairly normal due to hormones and circulation changes. Keep yourself warm and eat properly. But if you feel cold with shivering and fever, that is different, then check with your gynac.

Usually normal, just stay warm. With fever or shivering, tell the doc.

I keep feeling cold lately even when others are fine and it made me wonder. Reading that it can be normal is reassuring. Did anyone else feel chillier than usual during pregnancy?

I felt cold a lot and it turned out my thyroid needed adjusting during pregnancy. So while it can be normal, if it is persistent I would mention it at your next visit. Regular thyroid checks are a good idea anyway, na.
