What was that?

[Kelci0104]

I had a sudden hot flash earlier today, was that a contraction? With this being my first I'm not sure what this is, and it sucked!

This is my 3rd baby and so many things are different this time and I still get worried nervous and unsure of whats happening to my body xxxx I would say if it happens again speak to your doc midwife or who ever you are due to see next but as it stopped quite quickly im sure it was nothing xxxx good luck honey xxxx

You're no the only one. People think I'm crazy when I say that I'm hot and their not lol. And I know its not me getting sick.

I think I've been getting them too. Just randomly overheated for a couple of minutes, right?

These flashes usually affect the head, neck, and chest, and can last "from seconds to minutes," 
Generally, hot flashes are more common in the second and third trimesters..... 
Hot flashes that come and go are perfectly normal  but it's important to know the difference between a hot flash and a fever. Fevers elevate your body temperature, whereas hot flashes don't. Fevers can signal an infection, and high fevers can be dangerous during pregnancy.
"If your temperature is over 100 F, call your healthcare provider,"
