Maybe a dumb ? but is a temp of 99.5 considered

raskind17 · March 2010

a fever? Or is your temperature just elevated during pregnancy...

TIA~

My temp runs a solid 99 during pg. What is your temp normally? I am usually in the 97s

i call it a fever. had that exact temp 2 days ago (i've been sick). now if your temp is always around 99.5 (day after day since you've been pg) then perhaps it's your new norm...

i can always tell when i have a fever - even a slight one. i just feel 'off'.

Depends on what your base temp is usually.

raskind17 · March 2010

I think it is usually elevated but since I stopped charting, I don't remember

How do you feel otherwise? Do you have chills and feel like your getting sick?

This.

Um, no. 100.4 is.

My OB told me it's not a "fever" - and they're not concerned - until it's over 100.5.

When I was temping to TTC my BBT pre-O was always in the 96's, and then in the 97's post O. The other day when I had been up all night with a nasty stomach bug, I woke up with a temp of 99.7, so compared to my normal temps, that's pretty darn high. Call your dr if you're concerned.

I'd say no.

I was sick 4days ago, I called the doctor to see what I should do. She said when it gets to 100.4 to take tylenol (not before that point tho), then call her. I didnt have a thermometer yet so I went to sleep while i was waiting for1., when i woke up it was 100 & i had already started to feel better (so i dont know how high it actually got) &it kept going down from that point on.

Thanks ladies!

I do feel sick but I have been feeling like crap for the last few weeks with m/s. I talked to my Dr. and he sais it is fine and not to worry. I go in for an u/s tom. so we will make sure all is ok tom.!

100.4 is a temp

kg_08 · March 2010

You don't have to be worried unless your temp gets to 101. LO's temperature is always a degree higher, so it's something to keep an eye on. Tylenol is safe to take to reduce a fever, but if that doesn't help, call your doctor if it gets that high.
