Shaky/shivery every evening

[skybie]

i think its coz u live in tassie and just dnt realise ur cold

Shakes can be caused by lots of things, id go see ur doctor.
Infection, shock, body working hard and lack of sugar can cause shakes, so really a wide range of things.
Let us know how u go

Skybie, thanks for your reply. Nah, not from the cold - we live in Tassie so we have the heater going most of the time .

Of the things you listed, I'd think the shivery feeling I have of an evening could be related to lack of sugar/other food... I have so much trouble eating properly at the moment, and between that, being pregnant and breastfeeding I'm probably not getting enough of some vitamin or other. It's not severe, just something I've noticed of an evening - throughout the day I'm fine (tired and pregnant, but fine, lol).

[skybie]

are u on a pregnancy multi??

[Sterla]

Yup, am on Blackmores Gold - have been on it whole time I've been breastfeeding, and continuing on while I'm pregnant.

Low blood sugar could certainly do that

[skybie]

well i guess theres only one thing to do! eat a big bowl of icecream after tea and see how u go!

[Sterla]

I suppose it could be low blood sugar, especially since I am having such a hard time eating things. I know I'm not getting anywhere near enough fruit and veg. And I'm kind of off sweet foods (like chocolate )... I just want this stupid first trimester sickness to pass so I can feel normal again!

I have the same thing... not neccessarily cold but cannot stop shaking/shivering.
My dad pointed out that I may not feel cold but it's my body's reaction to having to give all my heat to bubs, cause bubs gets all my heat, my body has to shiver to produce enough to keep us both warm. Sounds weird but it actually makes sense... I don't feel cold but my body temp may be lower.

Just another option! I know how annoying it is!! And after like 5 mins my back aches soooo much from the shaking...

Hi Sterla

I haven't had shivering per se, but I have noticed that I have very sensitive skin this pg. Like my skin feels super sensitive to cold, and kind of creepy crawly. It's a very strange sensation, but not really shivering. It was really bad last week, a bit better this week. Is that anything at all like what you're experiencing?

I hope it clears up soon for you hun.
