Causes of temperature changes in pregnant women

When a woman is pregnant, her body changes significantly. At this time, there will be some changes in her diet and daily routine. Therefore, women should not be too afraid of these changes. For example, swelling of women's breasts is very common. And when pregnant, if a woman feels uncomfortable in her breasts, she can simply massage them. So what is the reason for the changes in pregnant women's body temperature? This is also something women are not very clear about.

Reasons for changes in body temperature during pregnancy:

One of the symptoms of early pregnancy is increased body temperature. The basal body temperature is around 37°C, and the increased body temperature will continue until the second trimester. This is mainly due to hormonal changes.

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.

The body temperature rises in the early stages of pregnancy because after ovulation, the follicle forms a corpus luteum and secretes progesterone, which can increase body temperature. If the egg is fertilized and pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum continues to secrete progesterone, so the body temperature remains at a higher level.

A woman's body temperature remains stable after pregnancy. If the body temperature changes, it will be maintained within the range of 36.9℃--37.2℃. If your body temperature fluctuates, it may be a sign of corpus luteum deficiency. Insufficient corpus luteum can easily lead to miscarriage or infertility. When there is a large change in body temperature, it should be taken seriously. For pregnant women who have experienced miscarriage, they should go to the hospital for examination in time and take appropriate measures.

In addition, if a pregnant woman has an abnormally high body temperature and feels uncomfortable in the early stages of pregnancy, she should suspect she has a fever and it is recommended that she go to the hospital for examination and timely treatment.

After understanding the reasons for changes in body temperature in pregnant women, it is known that changes in body temperature during pregnancy are relatively normal. However, if a woman's body temperature is always too high, cooling measures need to be taken. However, medication cannot be used to cool the body, as this will cause harm to the fetus. Choosing some simple cooling methods is the best option to alleviate this situation.
