I am just finally getting over a terrible illness of the flu! I had it for 2 weeks. I ended up having a high fever for 6 days and 7 nights!!!! In the upper 99's-100's....one night it was up to 101.5 and one night it was up to 102.5 Which I went to the ER for IV fluids and I did take Tylenol around the clock for about 5 days straight. I just finally broke my fever and am starting to feel better. I was 13 weeks along during all of this. Just turned 14 today. I am so worried that this illness harmed the baby....in the ER when my temp was high the babies heartrate was up to 180! The docs weren't concerned but I read that it should be between 120-160 around this time. I have read some scary studies about high fevers causing mental problems and autism, etc. or even being fatal. I'm so worried about my baby!
