Question:
I feel nauseous every day at some point in the day. I also feel like my head is hot but my arms are cold...Is that ok to feel? or does it indicate something else?

Nausea of pregnancy is not usually associated with the symptoms you describe, although pregnancy can be quite unpredictable. Discuss your symptoms with your doctor. If your nausea persists, please read the questions and answers below or call our NVP Helpline at 1-800-436-8477.
