Were you hot or cold during labor?

Question

This is silly, but I wanna know your experience! 
I am cold-blooded! I honestly only feel good and warm in 95+ degree weather. Will I be hot during labor?? I tried finding some pants to wear during labor that open up so I can keep them on, but apparently it's not a thing here in the U.S.😅 which I guess means women aren't getting cold and there's no reason for them!
Out of all the things to worry about, I'm worried about being uncomfortable from shivering during labor 🤣🤷‍♀️

Answer

When I’m not pregnant I’m always super super hot but during pregnancy and labour I was always freezing cold which was great when I was pregnant in 100 degree heat since it kept me balanced 😂 I was cold in labour and after labour too. My friend was the opposite and bought me so many ice packs and fans and things because she was so hot and sweaty afterwards and thought they’d help me but I never even opened them.

Answer

Well you will shiver during labor even if you feel hot. Feeling too cold is better than too hot! They have blankets I’m sure

Answer

I went through stages of feeling like I was boiling and then needing to be covered up. I walked around in just a bra but had a robe and blankets nearby so I could easily add and shed layers as needed.

Answer

I only had the hospital gown they give me on. I was comfortable I think I was chilly after but we could control the temperature so we did just that as we needed and it was fine!

Answer

I can't remember how I felt during any of my three labors temperature wise lol. But I know after birth I was FREEZING. I also stay cold 24/7.

Answer

Cold at first but the hospital i delivered at is always superrrr cold. But then i got aclimated to it and eventually got hot. After my delivery i was extremely cold and shivering. Then during my blood transfusions i got hot, then cold again and eventually comfort

Answer

Soooo hot, I was naked for my last two births and then I was freezing right after 😂

Answer

I was so hot during labor, I literally only had on a sports bra while pushing, I pushed off any blankets they had on me. Even though I had an epidural they let me keep sipping ice water and my husband had a bucket of ice water and washcloths to keep putting on me to keep me cool, and this was in December. I am having my son in august this time and i already packed a stroller fan in my hospital bag to put on my hospital bed. But I am always hot, especially when pregnant. We keep our bedroom around 60 at night and i still wake up sweating.

Answer

I was in a birth pool for the majority of the time and it was a great temperature. I never remember feeling hot or cold at all. I did get the shivers after but I wasn't really cold.

Answer

I had the chills soooo bad. I’m not sure if it was from the pain meds or the epidural. I needed warmed blankets. 
I only was sweating when holding my breath to push.
