    Pregnancy Thermostat

    So, I think my body thermostat is broken

    It's not hot in Melbourne, but it's not cold. And all day, I am freeeezing.
    I could be wearing thermal underwear and woolly socks, freezing.

    BUT if I dare put a jumper on, or snuggle under the covers for warmth... or near DH because he is stinking hot... I feel like I need to strip down!

    I don't understand?!!

    I know most heavily pregnant women struggle through Summer (Lord knows I did with DS) but is this a pregnant thing or am I broken? I do normally run colder but not this bad!

    I'm the opposite Dragoncookie. I overheat in summer and can't get cool. Even with the temps down today I still slept with the fan on last night but DF had to pull the blanket up I think this is just a pregnancy thing and every woman is different. Hmmmmm nice ice filled bath sounds good lol

    I was the same with DD, but I couldn't have a hot shower because the water burnt even if it was a temp I was used to.
