why did last night i was so hot i was sweating even with the air on? i am 5 weeks prego?

Question

i had this sorta of beating on and off in my stomach was that the babys heart?

Answer 1

It could have been the baby's heart. When it gets bigger, it will be its foot. The heat is hormones. It only gets worse. I had high blood pressure with my first child and it made me hot too. So be sure to keep an eye on that.

Answer 2

I would call the doctor if I were you. It may have been something you ate or anxiety, etc., but generally the first few weeks of pregnancy you get cold because your body temperature has risen. You are more sensitive to cold, but the baby isn't big enough yet to heat you up.

It could also be the hormones making you hot, but I doubt it was the baby's heart you were feeling at five weeks. Five weeks is only 3 weeks after conception, and only about 2 weeks to 10 days after implantation. The baby's heart has just developed or is still developing. They can't even hear the heart with a doppler until about 10 weeks. But anything is possible.

Answer 3

Your hormones are changing due to being pregnant. The next time you will experience this (other than pregnancy) will probably be when you begin perimenopause.

You will never FEEL the baby's heart beating from inside your stomach! You will probably get a chance to HEAR it with an instrument the ob/gyn doctor uses call a doppler.

You probably had gas or felt gas moving in your stomach! We are hypersensitive about our bodies during a pregnancy and want to know about every little thing. We notice things we normally wouldn't! This is good.

LISTEN. ARE YOU GETTING ANY PRENATAL CARE? That means are you going to see a doctor to watch you through out your pregnancy? This is very important for the health of the baby and for you as well! Write down your questions in a little notebook and ask him/her during each visit. This is the best source for answers. Don't try to commit them to memory or you will forget. Also don't let your doc rush you. They should answer anything you want to know. If not, let them know you feel they are rushing you or not give you enough information. SPEAK UP! You are about to be a mom now, which means doing a lot of speaking up for your child. This will be good practice!
I also recommend you start reading books on pregnancy and child care. There are also tapes available for check out if you do not enjoy reading. There are hundreds of resources on the subject available at the library. Anything you are going through or want to know will be in these books and or tapes. Enjoy your pregnancy and your baby!

How your baby's growing: Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm — that will later form his organs and tissues. The cells are forming for his major organs, including his kidneys and liver, and his neural tube is beginning to develop. This neural tube — from which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — develops in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel. His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby's muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue. The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.

* Note: Experts say every baby develops differently — even in the womb. This developmental information is designed to give you a general idea of how your baby is growing.

How your life's changing: Pregnancy symptoms may surface this week if they haven't already. If you're like most women, you'll notice nausea (and not just in the morning), sore breasts, fatigue, and frequent urination. All are normal, all are annoying, but the upside is that they're all a part of being pregnant and won't last forever. The outside world won't see any sign of the dramatic developments taking place inside you — except maybe that you're turning down that glass of wine with dinner. It's a good idea to avoid alcohol throughout your pregnancy since no one knows exactly how much — or how little — alcohol can harm a developing baby.

You'll also want to continue or start an exercise routine. Exercise helps you develop good muscle tone, strength, and endurance; plus, it helps you manage the extra weight you'll be carrying and get ready for the physical rigors of labor. You'll also find that bouncing back after you give birth will be easier if you've already established a workout routine. Choose a safe, moderately vigorous activity you like (walking and swimming are fine choices for pregnant women) and check in with other moms-to-be in our exercise and nutrition chat.

Answer 5

Its normal to feel hot, even when you're just 5 weeks preggo, not really so much from hormones, but because your body is working harder than it ever has before. Your body is pumping more blood than normal to facilitate this growing little being. Even when the baby is just the size of a sesame seed. :) Besides, not being pregnant, your body temperature goes up while sleeping.

I'm not sure about the beating feeling you felt, though. If this is your first pregnancy, it can be almost 20 weeks before you feel your first flutters, where as if it's your second, third, etc, it can be around 16 weeks.

Answer 6

The baby's heart doesn,t start beating until around 8 weeks , you definately were not feeling the heart beat, maybe some gas. Don't expect to feel movement until around 18 to 20 weeks. As for the hot flashes, be prepared it usaully gets worse. Good Luck!

Answer 7

I don't think that it was the baby's heart that you were feeling, maybe yours. The baby is really small right now so thats why I think that. Your hormones are going crazy right now and thats why you were burning up. You may want to try to check your blood pressure too! I am 29 weeks pregnant and sometimes when my blood pressure goes up I get hot hot hot, oh and bitchy bitchy bitchy! lol...... it's just the beginning. Good luck to you and CONGRATS!

Answer 8

when your 5 weeks pregnant your baby is only the size of a walnut or so...you cant fell the babys heart beat untill late stages of pregnancy...its probally your hormones increasing...you know when you get really excited your heart start to beat faster and harder..

Answer 9

You were experiencing hot flashes. As the body adjust to the different hormone lovels, as well as the different hormones that are now flooding your body, you will begin to experience a thermic effect. As for the beating in your stomach, I have no idea.

Answer 10

I am now 7 mos pregnant I had that exact feeling at the first of my pregnancy up to about 20wks. I felt it especially when I was going to sleep at night. Im not exactly sure why but I know its normal.
