Is my iron low?

Question

Im 22 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and im freaking cold allllll the time. Could this be a sign of my iron being low?

Answer 1

I don't think cold is a symptom of low iron. I used to get cramps and headaches for my anemia.

I think not being able to regulate your body temperature during pregnancy is normal. I wasn't able to regulate my body temperature my whole pregnancy. I'd be cold and hot all through out the day.

Congratulations on the baby!!!! Whooo Hoooo! I miss being pregnant!

Answer 2

Yes i think so. I used to Be freezing all the time and i went to the DR and he gave me iron pills. Im Almost certain that it could be an Iron Deficiency...

When i was pregnant w/ my 1st 2 i would eat ice ALL the time. I am on my 3rd and still eat ice all the time. And I had a lot of symptoms for anemia but when I went to the doc and had test done they were all negative for anemia. So it could just be nothing but I would gl to the doc to be on the safe side.

Answer 4

I was pregnant thru the winter, had anemia (low iron) and was HOT all the time. I wore t-shits and flipflops in the dead of winter, and I live in Oregon. Ask your doctor. All pregnancies vary.

Answer 5

It's possible...You won't know until you go to your Dr and have them check your blood. That's what your Dr is for and that what they get paid to do. Call your Dr first thing in the morning to schedule an appointment. Unfortunately, none of us can tell you without pricking your finger..

Answer 6

Could be... do you have any more symptoms... really wierd cravings like for chalk or dirt or laundry soap? Ice? Ask your dr to run a hemoglobin on you.

Answer 7

yes it could. if u crave ice real bad that's also a sign let your doctor know and he/she can put you on iron pills to control it.
