Has anyone else had a fever in early pregnancy and the baby been born healthy? I’m sick and just found out I’m 4 weeks pregnant and read that fevers can cause heart and facial defects in early pregnancy.

Question

Answer

Now where tf did you read that? Lol google? Pregnant people get sick ALL the time and have perfectly healthy babies

Answer

You would have to have a high fever for a prolonged period of time for there to be any real risk. You’re fine. 😊

Answer

I’ve had a fever with two of my pregnancies.   Talk with your provider about what they want you to do.  I was told to take OTC meds to keep my fever low and to be seen if it hit a certain level with meds.  (I can’t remember what they told me to take or the temperature that I needed to stay under) my kids are just fine.  The concern is letting the fever stay high for a prolonged period.

Answer

I was sick frequently during my first pregnancy and everything is fine.

Answer

Uh yeah I was sick with a cold both times. Nothing happened. I just took medicine

Answer

I had a fever at 8 weeks and nothing happened. Check which meds are safe with your doctor (Tylenol is usually fine).
