Anyone had a fever early pregnancy?

[Theirmumxx]

Ok so this is just me looking for some reassurance.

i am currently 9+5 but at 4-5 weeks I had a low grade fever (I never took temp and not really sure it even was one but I had flushed cheeks) didn’t take anything for it as at the time I was paranoid about taking anything even paracetamol.

now all I can think about is that that slight chance of me having a fever has caused defects in baby!

typing it now sounds silly but just really need reassurance.

I have an early scan booked for Saturday and have been so calm about everything through the first trimester but now knowing my scan is imminent I seem to be panicking about everything!

Yes, I had one. Was really ill, throwing up and hot. Baby was absolutely fine!

Heya, I could have written this a few days ago! I was 9+4 on Thursday and woke up with horrendous flu, fever m, aching joints and a hacking cough. Kicked myself for not getting jab quick enough and scared myself googling flu and fever in early pregnancy. This is an ivf pregnancy so I'm already super paranoid, and it's my first so everything is new. I took paracetamol for my fever as it was scarily high at one point and giving me the sweats, but if yours wasn't I'm sure it's fine and your body is doing its natural thing to kill a virus.
I had a scan on Sunday at 10+1 to check on baby and it was wriggling about it there, heart beating strong and measuring 10+3, blissfully unaware of the horrendous way I was feeling around it! They're well protected in there so don't worry too much, good luck with Saturdays scan :) xx

I had pneumonia around then.

Baby just turned one and he’s perfect

Hi there I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have been feeling a fever come on in the past few hours! Was out walking today and wasn’t wrapped up warm enough! Have taken a paracetamol, no other symptoms… have called 111 so waiting for a call back. Should I be worried?

@vavabaguette no. Also... it wasnt the cold that made you ill. Plus, all viruses have incubation periods. It wasnt a walk in the cold air today that made you ill.
In any case, just take paracetamol, and youll be fine. And so will the baby!
