I need some advice...
I've had a fever now since Tuesday at 2 pm. It comes real hard, making me shake with cold so bad my muscles hurt afterward, I take tylenol, and then about 30 minutes later it clicks in and I'm SOO hot for about an hour, and then the fever breaks and I'm drenched in sweat. This happens about every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. I called the doctor/labor and delivery/hospital three times, Tuesday night, wednesday night, and tonight. She keeps telling me the same thing, "you're fine as long as it doesn't get over 101.5, just take tylenol and drink water".
It doesn't get to 101.5, at it's highest, it's usually about 100.5ish. But it's just been going on for days and it really wipes me out, makes me super weak, and I'm worried about the baby, not mentioning all the shaking from cold has made all my muscles feel horrible! Right now if I were to go into labor, I'd be too weak to push!
What would you do in my position? I'm thinking that tomorrow I might just go to my doctors office or the er or something and DEMAND they do something! Obviously something is wrong with me right? People don't just have a constant 4 day long fever, but my doctor won't do anything about it! She just keeps prescribing me Lortabs for the aches and pains!
I'm feeling normal fetal movement and my doctor will not consider inducing until 42 weeks. What do you think I should do?
