Why the title 37 degres le matin?

Well, actually it is 37.2 degrees in the morning.
It has a dual meaning: firstly it is the temperature of a pregnant woman, and secondly - since in sickness fevers tend to be lower in the morning - this slightly elevated temperature - the normal one being 37 degrees exactly - indicates that from the beginning of the story something is slightly wrong and foreshadows the real high fever that is next to come, i.e. Betty's madness.
