It's not only true, it's extremely inconvenient, especially when you are about to burst in the middle of summer. I take about 4 showers a day to cool off and keep from sweating constantly.
The hormones play a huge part, but your cardiovascular system is also working at least 50% harder than it was, plus you are carrying so much extra weight in an non-uniform way that it's like strapping a 20 pound or more backpack to the front of you and trying to exercise. You simply get really hot and sweaty.

Yes, many pregnant women do get overheated easily. It's a combination of the increase in fluids in the body and the extra weight to carry around.

It's because of a lot of factors more blood, more weight, more work for your body. I got so hot a few days ago that i had to leave work. I work at an ice cream shop and they were making waffle cones. The heat from the waffle maker made me so hot I had to lay down and then I thought I was going to throw up so I just went home. It was awful.

Surge of hormones make your body feel overheated, just like women who experience hotflashes during menopause.

It is true, at least for when I was pregnant, its because of the fluctuating hormone levels.

Yes. I think it has a lot to do with hormones and the new weight their carrying around.
