Question?? I need a little help! Please?

[skeeter30]

I was just wondering if anyone else feels like they are going to or are runnig a fever?? I have been feeling like this all day. I feel cold, like the chills if unless I am somewhere where a fan isn't on. I have taken my temp and it is a little higer than my normal. I usually range from 97.6 to 97.9 and today I am at 98.8 or so. I am a little worried though b/c my DS has been sick for 6 days with something that we can't seem to figure out what it is. I do know it is not pneumonia and not the flu. He had a bunch of blood work today but, I have not gotten the results back yet. I am worried it is some virus and I am going to get it. What worries me the most is that, he has been running these really high temps like..104, 103.5, 102. I know that is not good for the beginning of pregnancy. I heard it can cause defects and stuff...even a MC. I also wanted to say, I was spotting from 8dpo up til 11dpo, it stopped on 12 dpo and now it's back really light. I'm 13 dpo today. I called my midwife and went in for blood work. To make sure my levels are ok. I really hope they are b/c this is so crazy that all of this is happening at the same time. Does anyone have any advice?? Thank you for your responses!! I really appreciate!!

I think it's something to do with all the extra bloodflow... or that's *my* explanation of things! I've been either FREEZING or DYING OF HEAT lately. And it's completely one extreme or the other -- I can't seem to reach a happy medium!

That said, we've had illness pass through here too... plenty of it lately (a few weeks ago, I was puking my guts up.. this after two of my other daughters had the same thing)...

I hope all your bloodwork comes back in the clear!!

Sounds just like my 4th pregnancy, where I spotted then started again for another couple days, even saw red blood. I felt like I was coming down with something- run down, tired, sweating, chills, flushed...so similar. Not to say it's not something else but it could just be hormonally caused like mine was, which is a good sign

Thank you ladies so much for your replies! I keep taking my temp but, it isn't getting any higher. I think I am coming to the conclusion that it is just a pregnancy thing. I will keep everyone updated tomorrow when I hear from the doc about my results!! Thank you again..both of you girls made me feel better, like I'm not crazy or something!

Hi Guys!! I am so happy to report my hcg base level is 125!! I was told this is very good for where I am at right now in my pregnancy!! 3wks 4days!! I don't seem to be spotting anymore again this morning. I am feeling a little nauseous too...ugh! But, I am happy!! I want this to be a sticky bean!! I have been talking to it, asking it to stay with me and telling it I love it and will be the best mommy ever for it!! DS's blood work came back showing that what he has is just a virus and I am pretty sure he is starting to get better!! Yay!! : He is running around acting like a little maniac today and his temp is just a tad above normal! So...I feel better about that right now. Thanks for the support ladies!!

Glad to hear that! I've had a bit of a headache/fever this time, and I don't remember that from last time. But my daughter and I both have a cold so I'm sure that's part of it. Hormones can do things like that too.

Thank you girls!! it is so nice to have the support!! I am just trying to remain calm now and I think that once a few days without spotting pass, it will be much easier to do that!!

[judybean]

Good to hear the positive update!!! Hooray!

[skeeter30]

Thanks so much judybean!!

oops...just saw this post. Glad things worked out so far. I'm so glad we're in the same DDC!

Great update! I was running a low grade fever yesterday (in the 99 range...my norm is mid 97s) and felt like I had the flu. Of course, DH has swine flu right now, so I was REALLY worried I had that (and still could get it) but feel much better today so I hope it was just hormones. I don't remember feeling this way with either of my other pregnanies, but I'm glad I'm not alone!

[skeeter30]

Doula Oh gosh! I am sorry your DH has swine flu! Ugh! I think that would make me a little nutty. I thought I had it bad with it being DS who is sick and worrying about catching that. I hope DH gets well soon and that you don't get it. It stinks having to be worried about getting sick like that when you are newly pregnant. I am glad that you are feeling better today too. I haven't been feeling too bad since the other day either. So...lets keep our: for each other not to get these bugs! Good luck!!

Funny, I had a fever yesterday too, Skeeter. Woke up with 99.something and by evening it was 101. FF threw out my temp for that day. I'm still spotting(?) as well. I have had a cold the past few days, true, but having a fever with a simple headcold was a surprise. I'd love to think this was just hormones gone wild... nice high hormones, churning out a healthy gestational environment for my little bean.
