I'm 5 weeks 4 days today (#3 yay!) and every night since I got my BFP I've been sweating bullets! I wake up with a ring of sweat around my neck and my back is drenched. I thought at first it was night sweats but then I realized it probably has to do with the fact that I sleep with two large blankets on! When I go to bed, I'm freezing but then when I wake up in the middle of the night, I'm dying hot! Here's my question: I know that getting too hot is very bad for baby in the early stages. Have I put any risk on my child by getting as hot as I am at night? I'm very worried about autism or any kind of learning disabilities because stupid me slept with too many blankets on.

Sweating cools your internal temperature. Unless you are sick and running a fever, your internal temp probably never moved. You're fine!

It is more the high fevers and constant use of a heating pad or super long hot baths or the use of a Jacuzzi that you need to be worried about. I think you are just fine!
