Q. I'm 9 weeks pregnant and feeling so lousy I thought I might actually be sick. My temperature varies between about 99.2 and 99.7 in degrees Farenheit. I understand that increased progesterone levels can raise body temperature during pregnancy - how high does it need to go before I should worry?
My doctor's office is closed right now - but I'll call tomorrow morning.
Thank you for the answers. If it is at least 100 or 100.6, it sounds like I'm in the clear.

Is it normal to have fevers weekly during pregnancy?
Q. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I've been getting fevers weekly during my pregnancy the doctor says my baby's healthy I'm just wondering if it's normal and safe to almost daily have a mild fever and sometimes a low high fever
A. A fever is a sign that your body is fighting to keep itself healthy. I'm sure baby is fine but my biggest concern is why are you continuing to run fevers. I would talk again with your doctor and ask that he address further what is going on.
How to treat a urinary tract infection during pregnancy?
Q. My friend in Europe was told by her doctor to take medicine for urinary tract infection and, when I look at this medicine description in English, I see it is contraindicated during pregnancy. Doctor has tried to scare her into taking the medicine, saying such infection could very possibly go to her kidneys and cause terrible troubles. But if a medicine is worse than the disease, what can be done?!
Please, if anyone knows effective and safe treatment for this ailment during pregnancy, do share! Thank you.

A. If you get a UTI during pregnancy, you need to go to your doctor, and take the antibiotics they prescribe you to clear it up. there really is no other way of getting rid of it. you can drink some cranberry juice to help. but that isn't going to take it away. the antibiotics won't hurt your baby. the doctor will prescribe some thing that is safe for use during pregnancy. woman get bladder/ UTI infections all the time during their pregnancy, and they take the medicine. the truth is, that its more dangerous to leave the infection untreated. believe me i know. i had a bladder infection once, and i didn't get it treated for a while, and then it spread to my kidneys, causing a bad kidney infection. it was so terrible. i got so sick. had a severely high fever. I went to the er, and i had to be hospitalized for a couple days. your friend shouldn't put her baby at risk. if she leaves this untreated and it spreads to her kidneys, which it most likely will, then it could risk hurting her baby. tell her to listen to her doctor.
good luck.
good luck.
How does the body change during pregnancy?
Q. What changes occur in the appearance of the woman? And where does the weight normally go to? Do some women only gain in their belly area? I would think that a woman who is in good shape and continues to eat right during pregnancy would only get a belly, and not much more fat. Is this correct? I'm worrying about the shape of my body being different after baby because somebody told me, you can lose the weight but never get your shape back because it's different after the baby. Is this always true?
A. Pregnancy is a natural state and one that is different for every woman every time. I have had three pregnancies and deliveries and they were all different. You never know exactly what you¡¦re going to get, but it does help to be prepared by knowing what changes your body will likely go through. Follow the changes your body goes through trimester by trimester. You can expect to feel all or some of them.

Always consult your health care provider if you experience any of these changes:
