How long does it take for the body temperature to drop during pregnancy?

After a woman becomes pregnant, her body will generally have many reactions, all of which are caused by the constant changes in hormones in the body. These reactions during pregnancy will affect the quality of life of the pregnant mother during pregnancy. The most obvious symptom is the change in body temperature. Women will have an increase in body temperature in the early stages of pregnancy. This is a normal phenomenon, so you don’t have to worry too much. How long will it take for the body temperature to drop during pregnancy?

How long does it take for body temperature to drop during pregnancy?

1. The reason why body temperature rises during pregnancy is that the hormones in a woman's body are in an unstable state, and more progesterone and estrogen are secreted, causing the body temperature to rise; and the blood circulation in the body is smoother, thereby inducing heat in the body. Therefore, the problem of increased body temperature during pregnancy is a reasonable body reaction rather than a symptom of a disease. Therefore, people do not need to worry too much. They only need to carry out timely body care and adapt to the temperature changes of the body to be able to face this problem more safely.

2. Body temperature and height can cause pregnant women to have fever and uncomfortable symptoms. Therefore, in order to allow pregnant women to spend the pregnancy more comfortably, it is necessary to reasonably adjust the ambient temperature of the pregnant women, such as keeping the room ventilated and turning on the air conditioner appropriately to make the life of pregnant women more comfortable. However, you must pay attention to avoid the indoor temperature being too low, so as not to induce pregnant women to catch a cold; at the same time, pregnant women have a high body temperature, which can easily lead to large mood swings in pregnant women, causing them to become irritable and angry, so pregnant women must learn to adjust their emotions. Around three months into pregnancy, the hormone levels become stable and the pregnant woman's body temperature can drop.

What is a normal body temperature in early pregnancy?

1. 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℃ compared to 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°C 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°C due to the influence of progesterone. Your body temperature will return to normal during the next menstrual period or the day before it.

2. Generally speaking, the body temperature of pregnant women will rise in the early stages of pregnancy, but the temperature increase is between 36.9℃-37.2℃, which is a normal reaction. 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.

3. After a woman becomes pregnant, her luteinizing hormone rises. Generally, the basal body temperature during the follicular phase is 36.5°C, and it rises by more than 0.5°C during the luteal phase, resulting in a biphasic performance, indicating ovulation. If the monophasic body temperature curve does not rise in the later stage, it indicates that there is no ovulation, and its accuracy rate is 70%~80%. An increase in body temperature in the early stages of pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. Pregnant women can pay attention to changes in their body temperature and infer pregnancy from this. If abnormal changes in body temperature are found, they need to go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out potential diseases.

Warm reminder: expectant mothers can shake the mercury column on the thermometer to below 36 ℃ before going to bed every night. After waking up the next morning, do not talk or move. Put the thermometer under the tongue and measure the oral temperature for 5 minutes. It is best to keep the temperature measurement time fixed every day. Record the measured results daily on the basal body temperature sheet and connect them into a curve. If any abnormality occurs, go to the hospital for examination in time.
