you need to call your doctor, if you cant get in to see your doctor at least call them and tell them what is going on, sounds serious. CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!
At this point there is nothing that can be done. What’s done is done.
Although I do have to say you should have taken Tylenol (totally safe during pregnancy) to lower your fever, and you could have also sought out another doctor or urgent care clinic or if you were worried that badly, gone to the ER. Next time, be a little more pro-active in taking care of yourself.
Despite all of this, many women get the flu or other infections / viruses in early pregnancy and run fevers and their babies do not suffer in any way. Don’t worry. Your risks are only slight that your fever caused harm.
Talk to your doctor about your fears when you see him next.
Good luck.
When I was 9 weeks pregnant I ended up getting a kidney infection that caused a fever that went up to 103.8, and slowly, 1 day at a time went down to normal over 5 days. My doctor said everything was fine and told me just to keep taking tylonel to reduce the fever. This happened every 3 weeks (for a week at a time) until I was 28 weeks pregnant! That’s when they caught the infection, and by then I had a UTI, bladder infection, kidney infection, an infection in my gall bladder and my small intestines were filled with non-food bourne ecoli. I was a mess. All in all, I got the appropriate antibiotics, after having 5 months of high fevers through my first and second trimesters, and my baby looks and is developing TOTALLY NORMAL. I just wanted to let you know my history, there were a lot of high fevers in my pregnancy and they said everythign looks great. I am due in 2 weeks and everything is perfect.
Don’t worry or stress, if you have concerns just talk to your doctor next week, but don’t be afraid to take tylonel while pregnant, DON’T TAKE IBPROFIN though, this you cannot take while pregnant.
Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy!!!
