Im around 5 weeks and feeling a bit warm most of the time, like low grade type. No proper fever but just hot feeling. Is body temp slightly higher in early days for everyone? Just curious if this is normal.
I was very anxious about my temperature because of my past loss. If you feel a very high fever or have chills, please contact your doctor immediately just to be safe. Take care of yourself.
No need to buy fancy digital thermometers to track it daily. Just keep your room well-ventilated, drink plenty of water, and use a wet cloth on your forehead if you feel too warm.
It's normal to feel a bit warm, but don't rush to the hospital or get expensive blood tests done for a mild temperature rise. Just mention it to your gynac during your routine first-month checkup to save extra consultation fees.
I remember constantly checking my temperature during my first trimester because I felt so warm. Now my little boy is a toddler and I laugh thinking how much I overanalyzed everything back then!
My mother always told me that the body feels warmer, like a mild fever, in the first few weeks. It's just the baby settling in, so don't worry, keep drinking fresh coconut water to stay cool.
I used to feel quite warm and exhausted at my desk during the early weeks. I just carried a handy water bottle and took short breathing breaks; it naturally gets better after the first trimester.
With my twins, I felt like a walking radiator in the early weeks, haha! The hormonal surge is real, just wear light cotton clothes and keep the fan on.
I felt so hot in my first month that I thought my husband turned off the AC on purpose, haha! It's just those crazy pregnancy hormones making you feel like a mini oven.
My hospital care team told me that a slight elevation in body temperature is very common in the first trimester. I directly called my doctor's assistant to confirm, and they said unless it's a high fever, it's nothing to worry about.
