Fever: Your wife should call her obstetrician and discuss this with them. Always better safe than sorry. Cannot diagnose her long distance. Answers on healthtap aren't intended for individual treatment, prescription or diagnosis.

Nothing: Fever is a physiological reaction. I would not worry about the fever itself but rather at what's causing the fever. While it's unlikely to be serious. I recommend taking your wife to her pcp or ob/gyn to rule out a serious underlying infection.
