What is the temperature in early pregnancy?

When a woman just becomes pregnant, her body temperature will change to a certain extent. At this time, the temperature will be relatively high, for example, exceeding 37 degrees. Generally, as long as it does not exceed 38 degrees, it is considered normal. Don't suspect that you have a fever. The increase in body temperature in pregnant women is mainly caused by changes in estrogen. This is a relatively normal physiological condition. Don't worry too much about it.

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.
