I'm (just) 8 weeks pregnant and have either got flu or a horrible virus, caught from my three-year-old who was really ill with it (temp 39.9). My concern is the temperature - mine got up to 38.7 and was 38.5 for a few hours,but Paracetamol, cooler clothing and a damp cloth has mostly been effective in bringing it down to 37.7ish. I've had a temperature for two days now. The internet is obviously deeply scary re: temperatures in the first trimester (neural tube defects etc.), so I was wondering if anyone else has experience of a temperature in early pregnancy or any advice/reassurance!
