Why do you feel cold in early pregnancy?

The early stage of pregnancy is the most important time during pregnancy, because problems are easy to occur during this period. Some pregnant women will feel cold in the early stage of pregnancy. Of course, pregnant women can withstand less psychological pressure, so once this problem occurs, they will be particularly afraid, afraid that it will affect the child. So what should pregnant women do if they are afraid of the cold? The editor will analyze the reasons for being afraid of the cold.

You may feel cold in early pregnancy. In the first three months, before the placenta is fully developed, the pregnant woman's body temperature is slightly higher, which manifests as fear of cold. After the placenta is fully developed, the body temperature gradually returns to normal. Due to the increase in blood volume, the body becomes hotter, which manifests as not being afraid of cold in the later period.

The reason for being afraid of cold in early pregnancy may also be poor physical constitution or insufficient nutrition, such as insufficient intake of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Another possibility is hypothyroidism. In order to prevent colds during pregnancy and affect fetal development, pregnant women are advised to pay attention to adding or removing clothes, get enough rest, and drink plenty of water. In addition, it is best to check thyroid function when preparing for pregnancy or in early pregnancy (preferably 8 weeks before pregnancy), which can prevent hypothyroidism from causing intellectual damage to the baby.

In addition to being afraid of the cold in the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women may also experience symptoms such as amenorrhea, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, drowsiness, loss of appetite, frequent nausea, picky eating, preference for sour food, or dislike of greasy and special smells. In addition, breast development, nipple enlargement, darkening of nipple and areola, small nodules around the nipple, and even tingling and swelling in the breast may occur. Frequent urination may also occur because during the first three months of pregnancy, the uterus gradually grows in the pelvic cavity, pressing on the bladder, causing the pregnant woman to constantly feel the urge to urinate. In the middle of pregnancy, the uterus will move up to the abdominal cavity, and the phenomenon of frequent urination will improve. But towards the end of pregnancy, frequent urination will reappear.

Therefore, it is a normal physiological phenomenon for pregnant women to feel cold in the early stages of pregnancy. There is no need to be overly nervous. There is currently no good treatment method. Pregnant women should mainly relax, drink more boiled water when they are afraid of the cold, and appropriately increase their body temperature. If you feel cold, do some appropriate exercise. Excessive exercise is not good for your health. At the same time, you can eat more warm foods.
