It sounds to me like some of the normal hormonal fluxuations of
pregnancy, and as your thyroid levels seems fine, there isn't much else
to do except stay warm. There might be a hormonal shift going on as you
prepare to birth your baby. In any event, discuss it with your OB
provider. Sounds like you will be having your baby soon, and then it
will probably be a non issue....Pat
