Fever and flipping out

So I haven't been feeling well and after taking a long nap today I decided to take my temperature. It came back at 101.3 with the ear thermometer. I took two extra strength Tylenol and brought it down to 99 now but I'm flipping out after reading how dangerous a fever in early pregnancy is. Neural tube defects, autism, miscarriage.....I am so scared now. Anyone have this and everything turned out to be fine? I just went to my doctor this morning but wasn't feeling this bad so didn't mention it to him. Can't I just get a break?! I can't take all this worrying as it is and now a fever to boot. Wtf! I am drinking a ton of fluids too....really trying to stay on top of this.

Re: Fever and flipping out
/Sorry, no advice about the fever....
but
I wanted to say congrats on your new pregnancy. I lurked on the "loss" board for awhile and recognized your name. You and you growing babe will be in my prayers! I am also expecting again (haven't brought myself to make a new ticker) and have an EDD of 9/22.
Definitely what the other ladies have said. High prolonged fevers are a concern. If your fever responds well to tylenol, I would say you're probably safe. Drink lots of water (like you are), get lots of rest, and keep on that fever.
I hope you feel better soon.
