Hi
I am either 4 weeks or 5 weeks pregnant. I got fever and throat infection 99-100ish for last 2 days. My throat is now fine but fever is still there. I could not get GYN apptmt until next week. but dr's office asked to take tylenol. I google and find its safe to have tylenol. But i read that fever in early pregnancy can cause birth defects as baby's nervous system and heart is developing around this time. I guess i am probably ok as my temp never went up beyond 100.5. But i am worried. Some article says that its because of either fever or or fever medication or a combination of both. Anybody here had a fever around this time while pregnant and had a healthy baby? please reply.
