How to avoid pregnancy discomfort (hot flashes)

In addition to common molasses, such as nausea, and mood swings, hot flashes and changes in your body temperature also occur during pregnancy. So that this does not happen to you frequently, we tell you how to avoid the discomfort during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, up to 50% more blood circulates through your body, and to manage this volume, blood vessels dilate slightly, which makes the blood is closer to your skin and you feel more heat. Add that during the third trimester your metabolism accelerates and makes you much more sensitive to temperature.
