Second trimester temperature

A woman's body will undergo many changes after she becomes pregnant. These are all normal pregnancy reactions. The most common phenomenon is that a woman's menstruation will stop, and she will experience nausea and vomiting, and her body temperature may rise. In the second trimester of pregnancy, these symptoms will disappear and slowly return to normal. So what is the normal body temperature of a pregnant woman in the second trimester of pregnancy?

What is the normal temperature during pregnancy?

The normal body temperature range for women is between 36℃-37℃. In the early stages of pregnancy, women's body temperature generally rises by 0.3℃-0.5℃, so the body temperature of pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy is between 36.3℃-37.5℃, which should be normal. In the second trimester, the body temperature of pregnant women will gradually return to the original normal temperature range. Most pregnant mothers will have a body temperature within this range, but some pregnant mothers will have a body temperature outside this range due to special reasons. They should go to the hospital in time to find out the reason, whether it is due to individual differences or due to illness, so as to avoid adverse effects on the fetus due to the disease.

If the pregnant mother's body temperature exceeds 37.5℃, you should consider whether she has a fever. If she has a fever, physical cooling methods should be taken in time to lower her body temperature. If the pregnant mother's temperature continues to rise and is accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, she should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to find out the cause of the pregnant mother's fever as soon as possible and provide symptomatic treatment according to the cause to reduce the fever as soon as possible. In order to avoid adverse effects on the fetus as much as possible, pregnant mothers should not take medicines at will, and must take them under the guidance of a doctor.

What should pregnant women pay attention to when they have a fever

(1) Physical cooling methods must be actively adopted to lower the body temperature of pregnant mothers. Commonly used physical cooling methods include wet compress cooling, foot soaking cooling, warm water sponge bath cooling, bath cooling, ice compress cooling, low room temperature cooling, fever patch cooling, etc.

(2) Pregnant mothers should drink plenty of water to replenish fluids. They can also drink fruit juice, which tastes good and is rich in nutrients. It can help pregnant mothers lower their body temperature and prevent dehydration caused by fever.

(5) Pregnant mothers should not take medicines at will. They need to be guided by a doctor before taking medicines.
