Fever or raised temperature

A very high temperature during pregnancy may be a serious sign. Pregnant women are at a higher risk of complications of flu, which is why a flu jab is now advised during pregnancy.

A high body temperature during the first trimester can also be associated with birth defects known as neural tube defects because the neural tube forms during the first trimester.

Raised temperatures during pregnancy that are accompanied with other symptoms such as muscle aches may be a sign of infection such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), toxoplasma and parvovirus.

Pregnant women without cold and flu symptoms but a temperature above 37.5 C seek medical advice as it could indicate an infection. If the temperature is over 39C, call the midwife or doctor immediately as infection is more likely.
