NTD risk- need reassurance!
macilene

Hello!
I think I’m around 6 wks pregnant with my third and I am so worried that this baby might have a NTD because I think I had a slight fever about a week ago.
My two older girls have RSV and I have a slight cough and sore throat for about 12 hrs (there at night and gone in the morning!), and I woke up feeing hot so I took an oral temp and it was reading right around 98 degrees but then I checked it with an ear thermometer and kept getting a reading between 100-102.5. I immediately took some Tylenol to bring it down if I truly did have a temp, but I can’t stop worrying if that reading was accurate and if I did have a fever. I know I’m right in the weeks that NTD do occur and my initial scan isn’t for a couple weeks. Any reassurance please! Or if anyone else had a similar situation I would love to hear.
