Is a decrease in body temperature a symptom of fetal demise?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Is a decrease in body temperature a symptom of fetal demise?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be possible that the fetus has stopped developing, and the fetus has died in the uterine cavity. Common causes of stillbirth include umbilical cord abnormalities, fetal malformations, and maternal diseases leading to incomplete placental function and insufficient oxygen supply, resulting in fetal hypoxia and death. It is recommended to induce labor as soon as possible to avoid causing maternal DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation), which can be very painful. The method of delivery can be determined based on the fetal position and the birth canal. If a cesarean section is necessary, it is advisable to undergo the surgical treatment at the hospital. Pay attention to postoperative care and infection prevention, which will gradually improve. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
