This long-awaited moment, when you are no longer alone and a small miracle lives under your heart, can be spoiled by the rising temperature. Don't panic right away. After all, it may be simply because you are now a future mother.
Of course, the temperature during pregnancy does not always indicate pathologies. For example, if the thermometer does not reach 37.3, then you should not worry. Perhaps this is the body's response to your baby. As soon as the body rebuilds, it will cease to bother you.
Temperature may indicate inflammatory diseases. For example, influenza, ARVI, pyelonephritis, herpes, tuberculosis. They are dangerous for your unborn baby. Any infection can harm the fetus. Temperatures in early pregnancy are the most dangerous. It is during this period that all organs and systems are laid, and any temperature jumps or infections can disrupt this process.
After 14 weeks, the temperature is not so dangerous. After all, the placenta that protects the child is already formed. From the 30th week, an increase in body temperature above 38 degrees threatens placental abruption or premature birth.
How to deal with fever?
The temperature, for whatever reason it does not rise, should be reduced. If the thermometer shows a temperature less than 37.5, you should wait. At this point, the body itself can cope with the infection. Try not to wrap yourself up, open a window or window, drink a lot of liquid - fruit drinks, tea, water. You should not resort to such a folk remedy as rubbing with vinegar or vodka. This will only aggravate your situation. If your body temperature rises above 38 degrees, you can take a paracetamol pill. Before taking pills, please consult your doctor.
