Lately, I've been feeling very warm all of a sudden, like a wave of heat. Is this what they call 'hot flushes' in pregnancy? What causes them, and is it normal?
It's just your hormones playing up, making you feel super hot and sweaty suddenly. I had this in both my pregnancies, especially at night. Keep a portable fan nearby and drink coconut water daily.
With my PCOS, my hormones were already all over the place, so hot flushes hit me quite hard during pregnancy. It's just your body reacting to the hormonal surge. Try to drink lots of water, but do mention it to your gynac just to be sure.
Oh, those hot flushes were the worst for me! You suddenly feel so warm and sweaty out of nowhere, even in an AC room. It's completely normal, love, your body is doing so much work. Stay strong, this phase will pass!
It's basically a sudden feeling of intense heat, mostly around your face and neck, due to hormonal shifts and increased blood flow. Wear loose cotton clothes and keep yourself hydrated. If it gets too uncomfortable, just ask your doctor.
Hot flushes are just sudden sensations of heat caused by hormonal fluctuations and increased metabolism during pregnancy. Keeping your room cool and wearing breathable fabrics really helps. But of course, discuss it with your gynac to rule out anything else.
