Do u get fever when pregnant?

I'm pregnant and feeling a bit warm, so I checked my temperature. It's slightly elevated. Is it normal for pregnant women to sometimes have a slightly higher body temperature, or is any fever a cause for concern?

Hey! While feeling a bit warm or having hot flashes is totally normal due to hormones, a proper fever is usually a sign of a cold or infection. 🌸 Please stay hydrated and call your doctor to find out which medicines are safe to take!

A high temperature is not a normal symptom of pregnancy itself. If you have a fever, it means your body is fighting an infection. Please consult your gynecologist to manage it safely.

I felt like a walking oven throughout my pregnancy, but an actual fever is different. If your thermometer shows a high reading, it's an infection, not just pregnancy heat. Call your doctor because self-medicating is a big no-no right now.

Nahi beti, pregnancy mein aise hi bukhar nahi aata hai. Agar sharir zyada garm hai aur bukhar hai, toh turant doctor didi ko dikhao. Apne aap koi goli mat khana, bache ka khayal rakhna sabse zaroori hai.

Please keep your mind peaceful and take good care. While hormonal warmth is normal, a high fever needs gentle care and medical attention. Praying for your and the baby's good health, please consult your doctor soon.

My wife's doctor emphasized that a fever during pregnancy should never be ignored. It is not a pregnancy symptom but indicates an underlying infection that can affect the baby. Please seek immediate medical attention rather than waiting it out.

Pregnancy changes everything in the body, but running a high fever isn't one of the standard packages! It usually means there's some viral bug around. Better to get it checked by the doc instead of playing guessing games.
