Sweating a lot during pregnancy

After pregnancy, a pregnant woman's body metabolism will be more vigorous, so it is normal to sweat more than before pregnancy. However, if you sweat a lot after pregnancy, it may mean that you are calcium deficient or have other reasons.

Why do I sweat so much during the 37th week of pregnancy?

1. After a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, her metabolism is more active than before pregnancy, the heat emitted by her skin is more, and her basal body temperature is higher than that of ordinary people, so her heat tolerance is worse than that of ordinary people. In addition, due to the growth and development needs of the fetus, the amount of food intake and excretion of pregnant mothers will increase. Coupled with the increase in the secretion of progesterone, the weight and fat of pregnant mothers will increase, and the amount of fluid circulation will increase, which will cause the body's basal body temperature to rise and sweat more. Therefore, it is easy to sweat.

2. Calcium deficiency in pregnant women will make them afraid of heat and cause them to sweat easily. You can supplement calcium by eating more calcium-rich foods, such as milk and dairy products, animal liver, eggs, beans, nuts, dried shrimps, sesame paste, seaweed, seafood, etc.

3. Pregnant women tend to sweat easily, which is also related to their physical fitness. Generally, the physical burden of pregnant women will increase in the later stages of pregnancy, and sometimes they may not be able to adapt, so sometimes they sweat more when sleeping.

What to do if you sweat a lot during the 37th week of pregnancy

1. Pregnant women have a more active metabolism than other people and are prone to sweating, so they must choose clothes that are conducive to sweating. Firstly, it is relatively cool, and sweat can be easily absorbed by clothes; secondly, clothes made of natural materials can prevent friction with the skin, avoiding rashes, skin infections, etc.

2. Wipe with warm water and change clothes frequently. Pregnant women sweat a lot, so they should often wipe their bodies with warm water. It is best to take a warm bath every day and change underwear frequently to keep the skin clean and prevent skin problems such as prickly heat and eczema.

3. Get enough sleep. Pregnant women sweat a lot, which consumes a lot of physical energy and makes them feel tired easily. Therefore, pregnant women should get enough sleep to replenish their physical strength and improve their spirits.

4. Hydration and a balanced diet. Pregnant women sweat a lot, so they should pay attention to hydration and drink more water. Never wait until you are thirsty to drink. In the early and middle pregnancy, you should drink 1500 ml of water a day. In the late pregnancy, you only need to drink no more than 1000 ml of water a day.

The question of why I sweat so much during the 37th week of pregnancy has been answered above. It is normal for pregnant women to sweat because their physical constitution is very weak. However, if you sweat a lot because your body is calcium deficient, you should go to the hospital and let the doctor find out the cause and take calcium supplements in time to avoid affecting the baby's development. Pregnant mothers must pay attention to drinking plenty of water and having a balanced diet. They must also pay attention to hygiene and avoid getting sick.
