Does fever in early pregnancy affect fetal development?

Whether a fever in early pregnancy will affect the development of the fetus depends mainly on the degree of fever and the cause of the fever. If the fever is mild, it usually does not cause too much effect, but if it is caused by a severe fever or infection with a specific virus, it may have an effect.
In early pregnancy, if the fever is caused by the common cold or bronchitis, the fever is not serious and does not persist, it usually will not affect the development of the fetus. If the fever does not go away, it may cause some damage to the brain tissue of the fetus.
In addition, fever during pregnancy may be caused by infection with a special virus, which itself can affect the fetus and is likely to lead to developmental deformities and other serious effects.
Pregnant women should pay attention to keep warm and rest in the early stage of pregnancy to avoid fever caused by cold and infection, and if fever symptoms occur, they should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and cooperate with the doctor to take treatment.
