I am nearly 6 weeks pregnant. I have had a stuffy nose and sore throat for the past week. My throat has got worse over the last two days and i went to the doc today who put me on antibiotics and took my temp which was 37.4 slightly high. She told me fevers are dangrous so i should take panadol to regulate my temperature. I am stressing out now that maybe in the past fw days I have had a fever and not been aware. A few times I have been hot at night but if anything its that i am a little cold at times but it is winter. Has any one else had a similar experience and it been ok? This is my first pregnancy so i am worried and not sure what is normal
Hi Jojo, I had a few really hot nights (was sick AND left the heater on) about a month ago wouldn't be surprised if my temp got up that high. I had also had a few baths that were alittle hot, not realising it untill I got out and I was bright red. At the time I was worried too but everything seems fine. I read somewhere at the time that the babies enviroment has a way of regulating most temps. Please don't quote me on this as I only read it and I doubt it was from a doc. Keep up the panadol, I'm sure your doctor would have taken more serious measures if she felt it was necessary. Congrats on your pregnancy
Hi Daytona
Thankyou for the info and congrats to you as well. I have been checking my temps regularily and all has been ok. I think if i had a really high temp I would have known...hopefully. I go for a scan next week so hopefully it will put my mind at ease. Thankyou for the congrats and info it made me feel better
Fever in week 5
