What Causes Low Temperature During Labour?
While my daughter came into the hospital in labor her temp dropped to 95 something. A little later it was 93 something. It slowly rose after the baby was born. She actually chilled the baby while she was holding it. She never felt different, or ill. Ignore it or check more?

Hi
I understood your concern
sometimes near Labor many patients feel Sensation of cold and chills it's normal Hypothermia phenomenon during Labor .so nothing to worry. We give iv fluids during Labor process and certain medicine like Misoprstol and carboprost injection that also cause Hypothermia. so don't worry. just give her blanket or heater waves once. she delivers.It will gradually recover 2-3 after delivery. Once Labor stress has finished.
Thanks
