Anyone else experience really hot feet when they're pregnant? This is my third pregnancy but I've never had this problem before now. I'm 30 weeks and I've only really noticed it at night but my feet have been getting super hot. I've actually been sleeping with ice packs at the foot of my bed. Is it because they're swollen? Any ideas?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

thank you all for your input! I also have the restless leg thing going on so it makes it worse. But I'm glad to know it's normal and I'm not the only one.

Hot feet? I'm 36 weeks prego and I'm hot all over to include my feet! I'm sure the swelling doesn't help either! I come home and strip down to undies and a tank top because I'm so hot and my AC is set on 68!!! Don't worry it'll all be over before you know it and your feet will be back to normal! ;)

Yes. with all three. It was ok with one, he was born in early spring, so the wintertime was good. I kept my feet free during the winter and that felt good. The other two were born in the summer. I was miserable!!! it will be over as soon as you come home from the hospital. Congrats on your baby!

p.s. I kept a foot bath filled with cool water close to me.

It sounds like you do have swollen ankles; prop them up on pillows. Good luck and Mazel Tov!

I had horrible hot feet when I was pregnant.
I use to put damp wash clothes in the fridge or freezer so I could put them on my feet at night.

Yes I did. And I had both my kids in the Fall.

I would sleep totally naked except for underwear and have all the windows open fully, and no sheets or blankets.
I was still so hot.

I only had it with my last two. My OB said it was due to the heat. My first two were born in March and April, the last two May and it got hot early that year.

I am 27 weeks and I can't stand to have socks and shoes on anymore. As soon as I get home they come off and I am bare foot. I don't have the problem at night, but as soon as the socks and shoes go on I am miserable. I know how you feel. WAAAYYYY too HOT!!!
