A member asked:
I'm five weeks pregnant and have had a fever of 99.7 for two days, i'm not sure if it got higher at night. should i be worried? can it affect the baby
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: 99.7f is not a fever, temperature must be greater than 100.5f to qualify as a fever. Your elevated temperature is probably due to your increased metabolic rate of being pregnant.
