What is the normal body temperature in early pregnancy?

During pregnancy, various reactions usually occur. Some people react more strongly, while others react mildly. These reactions are relatively normal. The body temperature in the early stages of pregnancy is not constant. The body temperature will show an upward trend. Let us now find out what the normal body temperature is in the early stages of pregnancy.

Generally speaking, the body temperature of pregnant women will rise in the early stages of pregnancy, and after the second trimester (13 weeks of pregnancy), the body temperature will return to its original normal state. A woman's body temperature will rise after pregnancy, generally between 36.9℃-37.2℃. If this high temperature period lasts for more than 21 days and there are no other abnormal reactions, no menstruation, and even early pregnancy reactions, it can generally be considered a sign of pregnancy. If the body temperature fluctuates, it should be taken seriously, especially for patients with habitual miscarriage, who should take timely measures.

The change in body temperature in early pregnancy is because progesterone has a warming effect, which can increase the body temperature by 0.3-0.4℃ above normal. Generally speaking, a woman's basal body temperature will change with the menstrual period. Before and after menstruation, the body temperature will be maintained at around 36.5℃ under the action of estrogen, and then gradually decrease. It will be the lowest during ovulation. After ovulation or conception, the body temperature will rise by 0.3-0.4℃ due to the influence of progesterone. Your body temperature will return to normal during the next menstrual period or the day before it.

After a woman becomes pregnant, her luteinizing hormone rises. Generally, the basal body temperature of women in the follicular phase is 36.5°C, and the body temperature will rise by more than 0.5°C during the luteal phase. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for pregnant women to have an increased body temperature in the early stages of pregnancy. Pregnant women can pay attention to changes in their body temperature to infer that they are pregnant. If they find abnormal changes in body temperature, they need to go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out potential diseases.

The above is a detailed explanation of the normal body temperature in early pregnancy. The rise in body temperature in early pregnancy follows certain scientific basis. When your body does not cause any response, this rise in body temperature is physiological. You do not need to go to the hospital for treatment and there is no need to use some drugs for treatment.
