Question:
I just found out that I am pregnant and I am concerned about my body temperature. It is between 99.1 in the morning and 100.2 in the evening. Is this normal?
Answer:
That could certainly be within normal limits and due to the hormonal (more specifically, high progesterone) levels of pregnancy. It is not consistent with a fever, which by definition is over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Why are you taking your temperature so frequently? If you are feeling sick in other ways, by all means talk to your doctor and they can always order a blood count to screen for infection.
