I've search both google an MN and can't really find anything. Maybe because it's nothing to worry about?

I've had a really heavy cold. I kept asking my DH if I felt hot and he didn't think so, so thought nothing of it. I've been in bed for 2 days. I actually feel a little better tonight-but exhausted. My DD (3) said I felt hit when I was putting her to bed, so I used her in ear thermometer. It came up as 38.2!

I've taken some Paracetemol. That's all I can do right? I don't remember getting a high temp in the last pregnancy. The fact I can't find much online is kind of reassuring? I'm just anxious that if I'm hot, the baby is.

Yes, I think that's sensible. I wouldn't worry too much, it's only a mild temp, but maybe keep an eye on it and take paracetamol when it heads up. Don't or get to try to stay in light clothing too, can be all too tempting to wrap up when you have a fever.
Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, HP. It's dropped to 37.9. I was worried about baby regulating its temperature. But it's still kicking away!

Mine spiked to similar at 22 weeks when I had a heavy cold. I just coped with paracetamol and inhaling steam and eventually it settled down by itself.
