Why do I get hot flashes during pregnancy?

Seven out of ten women experience hot flashes or night sweats during pregnancy. This happens when intense heat spreads throughout the upper body for anywhere from thirty seconds to five minutes - typically starting in the neck and head, but sometimes starting in the breast or lower. The intensity and frequency varies from woman to woman.

Nobody's quite sure what causes hot flashes (though we do know they can be triggered by spicy foods, hot drinks, alcohol, and stress). But some research shows that, fluctuating levels of estrogen may be the root of them (low blood sugar and hyperthyroidism are also thought to cause them). If you find that the hot flashes are more than just a temporary discomfort, you should talk to your doctor about looking for a root cause.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
