Pregnant flashes: This is probably normal. The hormonal changes of pregnancy are usually at fault and normal. You should however have your thyroid checked.

Depends: There are multiple variables at play. Raising 3 children and pregnant may increase anxiety; this can create physiologic responses that get over interpreted. It could be related to nausea. If you are early, nausea wreaks havoc. Less likely are thyroid issues and hypoglycemia. Insomnia can be a marker of stress, which could be at play. Good luck, wish definate better answer but it should pass.
