Yes, it's normal to have hot flashes during pregnancy. On the roller coaster of pregnancy hormones, hot flashes – like mood swings – can be part of the ride. More than one-third of women have hot flashes during pregnancy; some also have them after giving birth. Studies have shown that women who are overweight or obese are more likely to experience hot flashes while pregnant.
Those fluctuating hormone levels – particularly drops in estrogen – as well as an increased metabolic rate during pregnancy can cause the surges of heat that may leave you kicking off your sheets at night or fanning yourself wildly in the grocery store.
Hot flashes usually affect the head, neck, and chest, and they can last from seconds to minutes. You’ll know you're having one when you feel a sudden blast of warmth – you might also start sweating and your skin may redden, as if you're blushing. Once the hot flash passes, you may actually feel chilly afterward, due to a sudden loss of body heat.
Hot flashes in early pregnancy are possible, but they're generally more common in the second and third trimester . And while most only last a few minutes, there are a few things you can do to cool down quickly, especially if they strike in the middle of the night. These include:
In most cases, hot flashes don't require a call to your healthcare provider, but it's important to recognize when you have a fever and not just a hot flash, as fevers can signal an infection, and fevers during pregnancy can be dangerous. (One study has linked fevers in early pregnancy to an increased risk of neural tube defects .)
The key difference between a fever and a hot flash is that a fever raises your body temperature, while a hot flash doesn't. If your temperature is over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit for more than a day or two, contact your ob-gyn or midwife.
If you're fever-free but can't shake the hot flashes, you may just be overheated . Push plenty of fluids and retreat to a cooler area, or take a cool shower or bath.
And remember, like other pregnancy symptoms you may not love, hot flashes too shall pass.
