I've been feeling cold and shivering sometimes, even when it's not particularly cold. Is it common or normal to experience shivering spells during pregnancy?
When I had shivering in my first trimester, I immediately called my hospital's emergency helpline and they guided me so well. It is often just hormones, but it is always best to let your doctor or hospital staff know immediately.
Sometimes low blood sugar can also make you feel cold or shaky. Make sure you are eating small meals on time, but definitely inform your doctor to rule out any infection.
Shivering can sometimes mean a fever or an underlying urinary infection, which can be risky during pregnancy. Please don't ignore this and get yourself checked by a doctor right away.
I also experienced sudden chills during my early pregnancy because of hormonal shifts. Wrap yourself in a warm blanket and drink warm water, but do check your temperature to make sure there's no fever.
It could be due to hormonal changes, but if you have a fever along with the shivering, please call your gynac immediately. Never take any self-medication for shivering or fever.
Hormones really love to play games with our body temperature, one minute you are shivering and the next you need AC! Just check if you have a fever, and if not, blame the crazy hormones and cozy up.
