Does a pregnant woman's cold body temperature affect the fetus?

Generally speaking, whether a pregnant woman's cold constitution affects the fetus needs to be determined based on the severity of the cold condition. Pregnant women with mild cold constitutions and no other complications typically do not experience obvious effects on the fetus. However, pregnant women with severe cold constitutions accompanied by poor blood circulation and nutrient absorption issues may indirectly affect fetal development. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If a pregnant woman has a mild cold constitution and only occasionally experiences cold hands and feet or sensitivity to cold, without significant abdominal pain, diarrhea, or menstrual irregularities, and maintains adequate nutrition, regular作息, and essentially normal blood circulation, the fetus can normally obtain oxygen and nutrients through the placenta. In such cases, the cold constitution generally does not have a direct negative impact on fetal growth and development.

When a pregnant woman has a severe cold constitution, frequently experiences significant chills, cold hands and feet, and poor blood circulation, leading to insufficient local blood supply to the uterus, or gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by cold, resulting in indigestion and poor nutrient absorption, it may indirectly affect the fetus and increase the risk of fetal growth retardation.

To improve cold constitution and ensure fetal health, pregnant women should focus on staying warm in daily life, particularly keeping the abdomen, waist, and hands and feet warm, and avoid prolonged exposure to cold environments.
