Temp is now back to normal! 36.8 !! woohoo! i did a face cloth with water/vinegar.. (my mum's old remedy) and had a tepid shower! and I'm all good now!!
My temperature is going up and down from 37.8 to 38.8 since yesterday. I came home from work went to bed at 3pm and apart from getting up for toilet trips I slept until 11am the next day - total exhaustion.
I have a nasty chest cough and ache all over - can't face food. I also have a blotchy red rash all over my belly and chest and have been sick this morning. I'm 33 weeks pregnant.:-(
My midwife said to see my GP immediately but I tried three practices and can't get in for an appointment unless I ring tomorrow morning, even though I explained the situation. I don't live in the metro area so am a bit limited in terms of where I can go.
I got online just to find out if paracetamol is ok. Tepid shower worked for a bit, but I've just actually just taken a panadol as I'm really scared for the baby. I'm probably being a bit irrational, but it just makes me feel like even if you are really really worried about something that is happening, help isn't really available from the places you turn would expect to turn to.
Rant over. Sorry for offloading but maybe it will bring my fever down. ;-)
