Temperature (fever) during first trimester

I’ve had a temperature of 38 degrees (ish) over the last two days. Feel achy and have a bad cough so presume it is something viral. I’m 9 weeks pregnant and read online about how dangerous a fever can be during pregnancy. I rang the midwives but all they said was to drink lots of fluid and take paracetamol. Suddenly today my breasts are no longer tender even though they have been throughout the last 9 weeks. I was sick twice this morning which I presume is a mixture of morning sickness and being unwell. I’ve had morning sickness for weeks. We’ve miscarried before and I’m so worried it will happen again because of this infection. Hoping to hear other people’s stories of hope xx

I've definitely been ill with colds/ flu during all of my pregnancies. Never even thought to check in with midwives about it. Definitely would have been higher than 38 too as when I get a temperature it's almost always up near 40. All OK.

I was pregnant with dd2 with covid and a temp, all was ok. Don't worry just stay hydrated and only use paracetamol
