Fever?

So I woke up sick this morning and have had a fever all day. I have tried Tylenol, popsicles, gatorade, cool rag on my forehead and nothing is bringing my temp down. Is this normal? Should I go to the doctor or just wait it out?

I have been doing that all day/night and no luck! We will see what the doctor has to say. I wish somebody would have warned me about all the downfalls of pregnancy. At least my little one is way more than worth it. Lol

If you have to wait, you should try to at least break the fever. Take a cool shower. Just a little cooler than room temp. And drive k some cold water. Anything to try and lower it if it's still in the 101-103 range.

I have my fingers crossed for you, Hun!!

Well my husband is at work now and we share a car so I'll go in when he gets home. Hopefully everything is fine.

Yeah I would go to the er, I read a study that says if you have a fever over 101 for more than seven days it significantly raises the risk of having a baby with autism.

Ugh! Stupid phone!

If your core temp rises above 102 it can cause miscarriage or birth defects.
