I've been noticing for a few weeks now, that almost every evening I get shaky/shivery - and it's not from being cold. It's kind of like how you can get a little shivery when you're really tired, except this happens every evening, and while I am tired, I don't feel tired enough for shivering iykwim?
Has anybody else experienced this while pregnant? Is it just because my body is super-tired?
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).
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...
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've been like that (only through the first trimester though) where I was getting shaky everyday around 3pm and it lasted for a few hours. I was certainly not cold (I live in North Queensland and had the a/c going because it was soooo hot) and I test my BSL every now and again to make sure it is okay and it wasn't that either. I don't know why but it did pass after the first trimester and now I am fine. I found it pretty traumatic to be feeling like that everyday as I felt really strange. I think it is just one of those things about how your body responds to pregnancy. I was keeping up my gp appointments and everything was normal on all my tests so there is really no explanation for it.
I had this on the days I took Maxalon, so I attributed it to that. It hasn't happened since about 14 weeks when I stopped needing to take maxalon (woohoo!)
Just Me: Yup, that sounds exactly like me, except mine usually starts a little later in the day. I hope it does pass after first trimester cause it's really annoying!
Mel: Turn your heater on love, that's what it's there for .
Not taking any meds either. Maybe it just is some weird pregnancy symptom?
