Are chills a sign of pregnancy?

Question

My period is late by almost a week, and I've been feeling unusually cold sometimes even indoors. Could these chills be an early sign of pregnancy?

Prerna Shah · Accepted Answer

Hormonal changes in early pregnancy can sometimes cause your body temperature to fluctuate, leading to mild chills. Make sure you are eating nutrient-dense, warm vegetarian meals to support your system. If you suspect pregnancy, take a home test first.

Ramesh Kumar · Answer

While chills can happen due to early hormonal changes, they are more commonly a sign of a viral infection. To be absolutely safe and sure, please consult a gynecologist and get a proper blood test done.

I have been feeling quite cold and shivering a bit, and my periods are a few days late. Could this really be an early sign of pregnancy? Should I wait a few more days before doing a test?

Neha Kapoor · Answer

I actually had sudden chills and felt very cold during the first few weeks of my pregnancy, even when it was warm outside. It is due to hormonal shifts. A simple home urine test will give you the clear answer.

Sip some warm ginger tea if you are feeling cold or slightly nauseous. But remember, if you are pregnant and experience severe cramping, heavy bleeding, or high fever with chills, please go to a hospital immediately as these are warning signs.

Rohan Malhotra · Answer

Chills aren't a definitive sign of pregnancy at all. They can just be a pre-period symptom or a mild viral fever. Skip the guessing game and just do a rapid home pregnancy test tomorrow morning.
