Pregnancy is the period when a number of changes occur in the woman's body. In particular, there may be fluctuations in temperature, for example, a slight increase or decrease in temperature during pregnancy. These fluctuations may be a variant of the norm, but may require the intervention of a physician.
Reduced body temperature during pregnancy
Low body temperature during pregnancy, in the first place, can be a symptom of toxicosis or be caused by a decrease in immunity. These two conditions are characteristic for the first months of pregnancy. A slight deterioration in well-being and a drop in temperature of at least 36 ° C is permissible.
However, if you note that you have a temperature of 35 in pregnancy or a fever and a poor state of health for several days, then you should definitely consult with your doctor. This may be a symptom of endocrine diseases and will require additional examinations, and possibly treatment.
Low fever in pregnancy
In pregnancy, especially in the first months, it may be, on the contrary, fever. This is due to the fact that the body produces a hormone of progesterone, which is responsible for the development of pregnancy. One of the side effects is the increase in temperature. If the digit is not more than 37.5 ° C, then such a subfebrile condition can be regarded as a variant of the norm. Especially if no additional signs of a cold are observed.
In any case, regardless of whether there is an increased or lowered temperature during pregnancy, one should tell your doctor about your anxiety. At the same time, if you feel good, then you do not need to constantly monitor your body temperature. Enjoy the pregnancy and do not think about the little things.
