I've been feeling a bit warmer than usual lately. Is an increase in body temperature a common sign of early pregnancy?

Oh, carrying twins made me feel like a walking heater! Feeling a bit warm is very common in early days.

Aparajita Munshi · Answer

I tracked my basal body temperature on my app and noticed it stayed high after my ovulation. That was my first hint before the test!

Sapna Chaudhuri · Answer

Slightly elevated temperature is normal due to early hormones. But if you feel a proper fever or shivers, please contact your doctor right away to be safe.

Yes, your metabolism increases so you feel warmer. I had a normal delivery and staying hydrated with coconut water helped me a lot.

Anushka Limaye · Answer

I felt so hot and nauseous during my early weeks. Keeping a cold damp cloth on my forehead really helped me feel better.

Instead of buying expensive tracking devices for temperature, just wait for your missed period and use a basic home test kit, it's cheaper and foolproof.

Natasha Reddy · Answer

Actually, the progesterone hormone causes a slight rise in body temperature. It is a very common early sign of pregnancy.

Vinita Dubey · Answer

A slight rise in basal body temperature is normal after ovulation due to hormones. But if you have a high fever or feel very sick, please consult your gynac immediately.
