Question 1

is it bad to have a 100 fever while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Fever: That depends what is causing it.  If it becomes persistent rather than a single episode would consult with your obstetrician, but it is likely that this will vanish quickly.  Good luck.

Question 2

is it dangerous if i have a fever while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A prolonged high fever, esp. In early preg. Can result in risk of damage to the developing infant.  How high is too high?  Certainly over 104 but i would treat any fever esp. Over 101.  This is the reason we discourage hot tube use, over 100 for over 10 min.

Question 3

can i take any medication for hay fever while pregnant? currently 10 weeks pregnant

Accepted Answer

No! Great you asked: The older sedating antihistamines, especially hydroxyzine have been associated with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. You may use loratadine, cetirizine or fexofenadine. Of the nasal steroid sprays, budesonide is the only one that is rated pregnancy category B. So, if you need one, play it safe with this one. Congratulations! Enjoy and continue to take care of that little blessing.

Question 4

i seem to have just starting urinating frequently. not drinking any more than normal. i go and then it seems like i have to go again right after. no pain. no fever. not pregnant and no chance. 
what could this be?

Accepted Answer

UTI: While urinary frequency has several causes, a sudden onset often can mean irritation inside the bladder, such as an infection (much more common in females). Check your fluid intake to make sure that this increase is not matched with excess drinking. Call your family doc to see if you need an exam or just can drop off a sample at a lab. Try eating cranberries/blueberries or take capsules/juice.
