Is anyone else freezing?

OK so this winter weather is so cold lol. And I'm freezing. My heater in there house doesn't work at the moment and they guy who fixes it won't be here til Monday morning ( I can't wait!). I have space heaters going in my room and an Amish fireplace in my sons room. So the house isn't a total freezer but I just can't get warmed up. I'm wearing 3 pairs of socks a pair of leggings and stolen sweat pants of my dads and a hoodie with along sleeve under... I'm still freezing. I'm so tempted to break out my electric blanket... only problem is that I don't know if its safe since I'm pregnant.

As long as your core temp doesn't get too warm (like 100+ degrees), you are okay. I have a heated mattress pad I heat up before getting into bed every night. Last night I was so cold I had to leave it on for an hour after crawling into bed just to warm up.

Yeah but I'm in Minnesota and the temperature is only in the teens :(  Just trying to remind myself how miserable I was being pregnant in the 90 degree days of August with my other two.

Maybe because I am farther along, but my whole pregnancy I have felt like a waking furnace. I live in northern Canada where on average our days are -20 celsius in the winter. I have yet to wear a jacket, just hoodies and I still sweat. There was one day when it was -35 and I wore a jacket while I drove to my DHs work, I ended up having to put the ac on. I am trying to find ways to stay cool in the middle of a Canadian winter.  Haha

I'm warmer than I was ( used to constantly freeze) but only time I'm that warm is when I play my instrument.

I'm 9 weeks and FREEZING! Here in Flagstaff it's been getting to the single digits and even in the warm house I wear my hoodie. I'm due in August, so I guess I will just be fighting the temperature throughout this pregnancy.

I live in California and it only goes down to 40's or 50's here, but that's freezing to me! I'm from Hawaii lol, so I'm used to perfect temperatures all year. I hate winter, and i miss wearing shorts and flip flops.

I used to wear flip flops year around in California. Not in Seattle...there are moments the trees n green are overrated. I wish my body temp would go up a bit more with this pregnancy. m so not normally a hoodie girl...but living in them lately.
