11 weeks / hot flashes and night sweaters

[mv1910]

Hi,

I'm 34 years old and 11 weeks pregnant. Last week, I went to a ultrasound and everything is fine with the baby.
Since last Sunday night, I'm suffering with night sweaters and hot flashes during the day my chest and neck get hot. I wake up during the my husband is freezing and I'm sweating. But is not fever.
I'm worried if is something wrong with the pregnancy or it's normal?
Is this could be a decrease of hormones? What can I do?

Thanks

I am also 11 weeks  and go from hot to cold all the time day or night, I think its normal, your hormones are running wild (hormones do funny things to us women) lol

Hi!
Its normal.  Hotflashes and night sweats are caused by hormones.  Women in menopause get them because their hormone levels are low.  Women who are pregnant get them because their hormone levels are high.
It doesn't mean that anything is wrong--perfectly normal!
Congratulations in advance!
