Does Pregnancy Cause Fever?
August 19, 2023 | by Yashaswi Pathakamuri | Posted in FAQ's
Pregnancy itself does not typically cause fever. However, during pregnancy, a woman’s immune system undergoes changes to support the developing fetus, and these changes can make pregnant women more susceptible to infections. Infections, such as the flu or urinary tract infections, can lead to fever in pregnant women, just as they can in non-pregnant individuals.
If a pregnant woman experiences a fever, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider. Fever during pregnancy can sometimes be a sign of an underlying infection or other medical condition that needs to be addressed to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and the baby. It’s always recommended to seek medical advice if you have any concerns about your health during pregnancy.
