Q: temperature?

hi. just curious. what is a normal guideline range for first trimester body temp? i have been googling, but i'm not finding what i want. and i have re-worded every way i can think of. i'm not sure what is considered a normal temp.

my concern is that i feel feverish, so i took my temp (not a bbt thermometer), and it said 97.9. i am 7w1d. is this a normal temp, or should i be worried about another m/c? just obsessing, i guess.

I'm not sure what "normal" is as far as temperature, but got this from the March of Dimes website, when I was looking into working out while pregnant:

Pregnant women should avoid overheating, especially during the first trimester, because a sustained body temperature of 102.5 F or higher may increase the risk for certain birth defects of the brain and spine. However, studies have not shown any increase in these or other birth defects among babies of women who exercise vigorously during pregnancy (2, 5).

normal body temp for an adult is between 36.1 - 37.1 degrees celcius. 37.5 is considered a low grade temp.. Hope that helps

not sure. I felt like I was feverish last night and took my temp with a regular thermometer and it said 99.3... not sure if it's normal for pregnancy or not. I know your body temp rises, I just don't know how much. I'm 4 weeks.
