Feeling warm, a pregnancy symptom
Feeling warm
As your body works hard to support your growing baby, you may notice that you feel warmer than usual. This is due to an increase in blood flow and metabolism.
Is it normal?
It's normal to feel warmer than usual during pregnancy, as your body is working hard to support the growth and development of your baby.
While it can be uncomfortable, just know that staying hydrated and dressing in breathable fabrics can help you stay comfortable.
As your pregnancy progresses, you may find that this symptom becomes more noticeable, but it's a normal part of pregnancy and nothing to be worried about.
Prevent and care
The increase in body temperature can be uncomfortable for some women. Proper management of feeling warm, such as staying hydrated and dressing in lightweight clothing, can help improve comfort.
- Wear lightweight and breathable clothing to help regulate body temperature.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to prevent overheating.
- Use fans or air conditioning in hot environments to stay comfortable.
Many expectant mothers report this sensation, and it can be attributed to the body's efforts to cool down.

Go pee. Put a panty liner on then lay down for a bit. Get up and go check the panty liner. If it's wet and clear it's probably your water. Labor and Delivery can do a swab to test it.

Last night, baby girl wasn’t feeling to well. So I got in the shower cleaned myself and my husband brought her to me and we just sat in the warm shower running on us and bonded I sang to her and just enjoyed her and continued the skin to skin after she was knocked for a good 6 hours after that. So ladies if your baby having trouble sleep try some skin to skin or a warm shower ❤️❤️

Do you have tylenol for him? How warm was your room? Give him warm bath but not too and little cool not too cold. Let him wear something that is not too warm. And give him cold not too cold washcloth or ice
