Is high fever a symptom of pregnancy?

I've been feeling a bit off lately and had a high fever for two days, but no other cold symptoms. My period is also delayed. Could a high fever actually be an early sign of pregnancy?

Well, usually a very high fever is not a typical pregnancy symptom. If you have a high fever and suspect pregnancy, it's really important to see a gynecologist immediately. High fever in early pregnancy can be concerning and needs medical attention to rule out infections or other issues.

Naah yaar, high fever is usually not a normal pregnancy thing. Actually, a slight rise in body temp can happen due to hormones, but high fever means infection, right? So if you have high fever and think you're pregnant, pls consult a doc pronto. Don't take chances!

No, not really! High fever is more likely a sign of an infection than pregnancy. 🤒 You might have a slightly higher basal body temperature when pregnant, but a proper 'high fever' usually means you need to see a doctor! Better safe than sorry! 😊

A high fever is usually your body fighting off an infection, not a direct sign of pregnancy itself. In early pregnancy, you might feel a bit warmer due to hormonal changes, but actual high fever is cause for concern. Drink plenty of fluids and see a doctor to get it checked out.

High fever a symptom of pregnancy? If only, then I could blame my last flu on expecting! No, seriously, a high fever usually means you're fighting something. Pregnancy symptoms are usually more subtle, like craving odd things or being tired all the time. Go to a doc, don't play guessing games.

With PCOS, I've learned that irregular cycles can make it confusing to track symptoms. High fever isn't a typical sign of pregnancy; it usually points to an infection. It's always best to get a pregnancy test first and then consult a doctor for the fever, especially during this sensitive time.

I've tried so many home remedies for fevers, and mostly they're from infections, not pregnancy. While your body temperature might be slightly elevated in early pregnancy, a 'high fever' is a different thing. It's practical to get a doctor's opinion to be safe and rule out anything serious.

If high fever was a sign of pregnancy, I'd have a dozen kids by now from all the times I've had the flu! 😂 Kidding aside, it's usually an infection. Get it checked out by a doctor, they're better at this than my bad jokes.

Generally, high fever is not considered a symptom of pregnancy, my mother used to say. It mostly indicates an infection. While our elders have remedies for fever, for such a critical time, it is always best to consult a doctor immediately. Please do not delay.

Na na, high fever to infection ka sign hota hai, pregnancy ka nahi. Thoda body temperature upar ho sakta hai par itna high nahi. Haan, agar lagta hai ki pregnant ho aur fever bhi hai, to doc ko dikhana chahiye. Don't just wait, okay?

If high fever meant pregnancy, I'd have been pregnant like, five times last year. My body just hates me, I guess. But seriously, high fever is usually a bad bug. Don't rely on random symptoms, get a proper test and see a doc. Especially if you're sleep deprived like me, everything feels like a symptom.

Nah man, high fever usually means you're sick, like flu or something, not pregnant. Hormones can make you feel warmer, but a full-blown fever is different. Get a checkup if you're worried, Google isn't a doctor.
