pregnancy undergoes too many hormonal and metabolic changes in your body. just imagine a 3 kg baby is formed just from a microscopic union of sperm and ovum. the body undergoes tremendous changes to care for you and your baby. you will feel low grade fever. wbc count is always high in pregnancy. do not worry about the fever if it is less than 100 deg F.
