Every woman in life comes joyful andthe same time the responsible period is the bearing of the child. And there is nothing surprising that a pregnant woman experiences when there are first signs of a fever. But do not panic so, exposing your nervous system to stressful situations, it can affect the health of the child. It is better to consult your doctor who can diagnose the cause of fever and determine how dangerous it is for a baby, and also tell you what and how to do in such a case.
If the elevated temperature is nota consequence of a cold or some kind of inflammation, this is most likely the first reaction of the body to increased production of progesterone. This hormone is responsible for maintaining the pregnancy because of its effect on the hypothalamic centers of thermoregulation, and the temperature can rise several degrees. When the hormonal background changes and the metabolic process is accelerated, the temperature in pregnant women on average can rise by 1º. At the beginning of pregnancy this is considered the norm.
Almost every woman during pregnancyseizes the period of seasonal colds. And because of the decrease in the protective function of the body, pregnant women become more vulnerable to viruses and infections. Not only does the temperature change during pregnancy. Colds are also accompanied by sneezing, nasal congestion, coughing and fatigue. The high temperature indicates infection with a viral infection, which is quite dangerous for a small period of pregnancy.
If the temperature of pregnant women rose toand a half degrees and did not last long, then for the fetus this does not pose any danger. But anyway, and to the doctor all it is necessary to address exactly. Especially if the temperature rises above 38º and such folk remedies do not help, such as wiping, taking a cool shower and drinking plenty. Use any medicine to reduce the temperature can only be prescribed by a doctor who will prescribe the necessary medicine with paracetamol. But taking aspirin during pregnancy is not recommended.
Do not panic if you get uptemperature during pregnancy, but should immediately see a doctor. Sometimes the temperature at pregnant women can rise because of such disease as a sore throat. The pregnant woman feels a strong pain in the throat during swallowing, and also there may appear a white coating with small pustules on the back wall of the larynx. This condition causes a serious viral infection, which is dangerous because not only the temperature affects the fetus, but also intoxication, developing in the mother's body. In this case, to be treated with folk remedies means wasting time in vain, which is so necessary for an urgent reduction in temperature and removal of toxins from her body. Otherwise, toxins can enter the bloodstream of the child and have an adverse effect on his development and health.
Another reason why it is necessary in timeto consult a doctor is a high temperature in pregnant women, which lasts a long period and can have a teratogenic effect in the stage of the child's internal organs and systems. In this case, you can not take risks.
This can affect the cardiovascular andthe central nervous system of the child. A prolonged rise in temperature in pregnant women can lead to a change in the protein and the placenta. And this is the threat of premature birth. Therefore, pregnant women need to know what the basal temperature should be during pregnancy and at the slightest increase it is necessary to see a doctor for further observation and treatment.
