Does Fever During Pregnancy Affect The Fetus?
Hello, I have one question I am on my 11th week of pregnancy, the first day of my last menstruation was on July 25th. I am very frightened because I have a temperature from 37.2 until 37.8 for three days and headache and also runny nose. I wonder is it harmful for my baby? thanks in advance for your answer :)

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Fever during pregnancy is harmful if temperature is >38-38.33. As you had lower temperature, it's less likely to affect pregnancy. You can take paracetamol to control fever as & when required irrespective of cause of fever.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
