Does shivering during pregnancy cause fetal demise?

Patient's question:

I just carefully discovered last month that I am pregnant. Hello, will a pregnant woman have a miscarriage if she has chills at night?

Doctor's answer:

A pregnant woman shivering at night does not necessarily indicate embryonic arrest. It could be a symptom of a fever. In such cases, it is advisable to drink some warm water appropriately and measure the body temperature to check for fever. If fever is present, further medical examination at the hospital is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Once the condition is clearly identified, symptomatic treatment should be provided to prevent any impact on the fetus's growth and development. Additionally, the patient should maintain a regular sleep schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
