Down with a bad flu with fluctuating fever during first trimester… do I see a gynae or GP?

Anyone been through the same and still have a healthy baby? I am so worried for my baby … #FTM #advicepls #firstpreganancy

dont worry too much. many women were down w fever in first trimester.. fever shouldnt affect your baby. in my case it certainly did not affect my baby. looking back i was equally worried too. but mommy stress levels do affect baby. so keep calm u got this. hope u feel better soon!

see a GP.. i had fever during my first trimester. called my gynae and she told me to go see a GP. i didn't know i had uti. strangely uti doesnt hurt when u are pregnant.. the symptoms are all not accurate when you are pregnant. so the safest thing to do is see a GP

I even had covid with very high fever, constant flu & now 35 weeks baby still growing well. If youre sick can just go gp. Go gynae only if you have severe abdominal pain, bleeding, spotting etc. else, normal gp will do

Thanks for the messages fellow mummies! I apparently down with H1N1 but feeling so much better now… hope everything will be fine !

GP 👍🏻 just inform doctor you are pregnant so they can prescribe you pregnancy-safe medication. get well soon mummy! 💗
