What Causes Freezing And Boiling Temperatures During A Pregnancy?
At 4 weeks pregnant, I have been ill and have been in bed. I was absolutely freezing as our heating has broken so I put my dressing gown on in bed. I fell asleep and when I woke up, I was boiling. I took my temp (although I used the child ear bit instead of the adults) and it was about 39.3. I tried a few more times and kept making a mess of it and then realised I had the wrong end on. After I sorted it out it was 36.7 but my dressing gown was off by then and I had cooled down. Now I am really worried as I remember reading somewhere the last time I was pregnant that this was why you couldn t have baths. Have I hurt my baby.
No you haven't hurt your baby at all.It happens sometimes due to hormonal changes in the body.you may also get investigated to rule out other causes of fever
