Will I have cold symptoms when I first get pregnant?

During pregnancy, a woman’s body will experience more abnormal symptoms, which will have many adverse effects on her life and body. Therefore, most women are cautious about pregnancy. Pregnancy does bring some changes to the body and cause some troublesome issues. For example, will there be cold symptoms when you just get pregnant? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

Many women know that their body temperature will rise to a certain extent after pregnancy, which feels like a cold. If a woman has sex during her ovulation period and this happens, she is very likely pregnant and she must not take medication indiscriminately.

1. Symptoms of a cold in early pregnancy

Basal body temperature can reflect the body's energy metabolism in a resting state. The basal body temperature of women of childbearing age is related to the changes in the ovarian hormone cycle. The body temperature will rise by 0.3-0.5℃ after ovulation until 1-2 days before menstruation or the first day of menstruation. If the basal body temperature rises but the menstruation is not due, and the basal body temperature continues to not drop for 16 days, the possibility of conception is high. If it continues for 3 months, it is basically certain that you are pregnant, but you need to rule out factors that can increase the body temperature, such as systemic infections, colds, etc.

2. Similar to a cold

Generally speaking, the symptoms in early pregnancy are like a cold, which is just a self-perception. This is mainly because in the early stages of pregnancy, there will be symptoms such as fever, dizziness, and other discomforts, which are similar to a cold. However, in addition to these symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy, there are also other early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, cessation of menstruation, decreased appetite, preference for sour foods, and frequent urination. Therefore, you cannot judge whether you are pregnant based solely on cold-like symptoms. If you experience cold symptoms after you are confirmed to be pregnant, you should take it seriously and rule out the possibility of a cold.

3. Cold symptoms

The symptoms of a true cold are quite obvious. In addition to fever, dizziness and other symptoms, there will also be symptoms such as fear of cold, runny nose, sore throat, cough, etc., and there will be no sweating when the fever occurs. The body temperature is generally over 37.5 degrees. If such cold symptoms occur in early pregnancy, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid affecting the health of the fetus due to the cold.
