Feeling hotter than usual?

Hi All,

Over the past few days, maybe up to a week now I have been feeling a lot hotter than usual. I only seem to feel real hot when I am at work and I find this strange because my office is always freezing and the heating would always be up with everyone else complaining!

Is this just a usual pregnancy thing? I was told on Monday that I have a virus effecting my inner ear, so could this be making me feel hotter? I checked my temperature when I got home yesterday and it was 36.something so looks like my temp is not reflecting how hot I am actually feeling!

Since feeling 'hotter' my hands and feet have swollen up even more :(

It sounds pretty normal to me. Towards the end of my last pregnancy I felt the same. I am usually such a cold body and I really enjoyed the extra warmth! I remember walking in the freezing cold at night and offering my jacket to DH because I just didn't need it! I'm pretty sure it is the extra blood volume that causes it, though if you were to have a virus it is possible a temperature could make you feel this way too.

I am so going to make DH read this thread!! I am sure he thinks I am trying to give him pneumonia by refusing to have the heater on and kicking all the blankets of the bed!!

Yep, I'm usually a cold frog, but now I'm hot as hell!!! Sleeping with my feet out of the bed, sometimes the covers half off - and where I live, it's pretty cold!!! (we had a max temp of 8 on monday......)

Ahh cool. I thought this was normal :) I seem to only be really hot at work, at home I am still putting the heating on!
