What is a fever for pregnant women?

I'm pregnant and feeling a bit warm, so I checked my temperature. I know fevers can be more concerning during pregnancy. What is considered a fever for pregnant women?

Listen, during pregnancy, a temperature of 100.4 F or higher is a fever. Don't take any self-medication or random tablets, directly contact your gynecologist immediately.

For pregnant women, 100.4 F or above is a fever. Keep up the fluid intake and contact your doctor immediately, as high temperatures are not good for the baby.

A fever is 100.4 F or higher during pregnancy. While you can keep yourself cool with a damp cloth, please do not use any home remedies or medicines without consulting your doctor immediately.

During pregnancy, 100.4 F or above is a fever. Keep yourself hydrated with fresh coconut water and simple warm soups, but please see your doctor immediately for the right treatment.
