But the past month or so it's just hit me.</p> <p>In terms of good books, if you're into stats about all of the recommendations (and prohibitions) Expecting Better is really good. It tries to get at the research behind all of the dos and don'ts rather than just giving you a big list of things you're not allowed to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/three-months-away-from-ttc-who-else-has-the-fever#post-2594674 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:21:20 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2594674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all!</p> <p>It's been a while! I've gotten married and honeymooned, and now am officially t-minus 3 months out from ttc! SO excited and just can't wait. I don't know how I am going to make it through until October!</p> <p>When are you planning to etc? 3 months<br /> How are you preparing? Dentist appointment, fertility cleanse, eating healthy, starting my prenatal again.<br /> How is your significant other feeling? He is so excited, he has wanted to try for #2 for awhile, I am just feeling ready.<br /> Any good pregnancy books you recommend to pass the time? I loved my last pregnancy book called " I'm Pregnant" it was awesome going through all the weeks when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/three-months-away-from-ttc-who-else-has-the-fever#post-2592523 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 22:23:36 +0000 schubr03 2592523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! Mine is a little different because we are going to be TTC for baby #2. But I still have the fever! </p> <p>When are you planning to ttc? January 2017 </p> <p>How are you preparing? Exercising more, spending as much time as possible with DD</p> <p>How is your significant other feeling? He is totally okay waiting. We want to be absolutely sure we are financially ready for LO2</p> <p>Any good pregnancy books you recommend to pass the time? I really liked Expecting 411 my first time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/three-months-away-from-ttc-who-else-has-the-fever#post-2586216 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 10:48:18 +0000 Mrs. Blush 2586216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsWilson2012: Sorry! I wrote back for some reason the post didn't actually post. </p> <p>Planning and prep are going well! I am finding it hardest to get into a sustainable exercise routine. I really want to have that nailed down before being pregnant, but it's so hard to actually force myself to do it (I have never liked exercise very much). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/three-months-away-from-ttc-who-else-has-the-fever#post-2582256 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 09:26:03 +0000 mrswilson2012 2582256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blush: I haven't read that yet. Thanks for the suggestion! I just ordered a copy on Amazon. How is your planning and preparing going? I've had two close friends give birth in the past two weeks and it's making my baby fever even worse. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/three-months-away-from-ttc-who-else-has-the-fever#post-2581595 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 12:04:11 +0000 Mrs. Blush 2581595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsWilson2012: thanks for sharing! Have you read What to Expect Before You're Expecting? It was cheesy/cute, but informative on the basics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/three-months-away-from-ttc-who-else-has-the-fever#post-2580987 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 10:14:59 +0000 mrswilson2012 2580987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When are you planning to ttc? December 2016<br /> How are you preparing? Saving money, exercising &amp; eating healthy, traveling, and enjoying our free time.<br /> How is your significant other feeling? He's more ready then I am to start TTC. We thought about pushing up our timeline, but ultimately decided to book another vacation instead. It may be awhile before we travel after baby.<br /> Any good pregnancy books you recommend to pass the time? I haven't picked up any books yet. I've just been researching pregnancy, baby items, sleep training and even looking into daycares in my area. Trying to get a timeline for how soon we will need to be on a waiting list once I'm pregnant.</p> <p>Can't believe we are 5 months out. Time is moving so fast! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/three-months-away-from-ttc-who-else-has-the-fever#post-2580970 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 09:57:14 +0000 Mrs. Blush 2580970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all!</p> <p>It's been a while!

If it doesn't respond, I will call doc &amp; visit. We had 103-105 for 4 days around Christmas, but it was responding to Motrin and she was still drinking. The doc was on-call at the 105° point, because any higher would have meant urgent care. I'll say, now that she's 2, I am more "patient" with fevers, and wait it out a bit longer. Most of the time, it's a virus and the doc can't help anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441759 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 12:08:36 +0000 Meowkers 2441759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatrician advises to call in right away if it hits 103. I would probably go in after 24 hours. There are conditions that progress very quickly and only have flu like symptoms (meningitis) so I wouldn't risk it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441758 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 12:08:11 +0000 regberadaisy 2441758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are only worried if it gets above 104 and won't come down with ibuprofen and/or with a tepid bath.

I took her in at 3 days and they thought it was a virus going around that had a high fever. I took her in again at day 6 and they ran blood tests that showed some sort of infection so they thought an ear infection was brewing but not yet presenting. They wanted me to come back in 2 days if she still had a fever. I brought her in the next day because my mommy gut was nagging. They repeated labs and they were worse, but still no ear infection. On a whim they did a chest X-ray and she ended up having pneumonia. She was hospitalized for 7 days after she didn't respond to oral antibiotics. </p> <p>I would just make sure you follow your gut. You know your child the best! I'm glad I kept going back in with my daughter because she wasn't coughing and none of us really had any idea how sick she was.</p> <p>I hope your daughter feels better soon and it's just one of those darn viruses that last a bit. Hang in there mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441686 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 11:21:08 +0000 BSB 2441686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my DD getting RSV and being in the ER and Children's hospital, I was told if the fever is treatable with tylenol and other methods (cool towel) then it's fine. My babies are 5 months and I don't know if this changes for older kids. I give my babies tylenol if their temp goes past 100.4. If it continues to rise, I was told by a ER nurse that you can quickly bring down a body temp by putting a cool towel over their forehead or under their armpits. Usually the cool towel and tylenol does the trick. </p> <p>I don't know about super high fevers, though. The highest I've seen is 101.2 but would I rush my babies to the ER if it hit 102 or 103? ... I think I would. ER nurse said high temps can cause seizures so that's my only worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441607 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 10:31:08 +0000 coopsmama 2441607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well now not until day 5 or so. Only because I took my daughter at day 4 in November and they were like "this is still within the range of a virus" and it turned out that was all it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441604 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 10:29:15 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2441604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: Is she acting like she's in pain, grabbing at her mouth? That's what C did - I thought it was just teething but it was definitely strep when we took her in. </p> <p>Another thing that could cause the high fevers could be a UTI. </p> <p>I always get worried about consistently high fevers for that many days. I hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441597 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 10:25:51 +0000 BandDmommy 2441597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: same here, I don't worry about low grade fevers. TBH, I only really get concerned when I see high temps and change in demeanor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441595 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 10:25:14 +0000 BandDmommy 2441595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: No, they checked her ears and tested her for RSV </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441592 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 10:23:19 +0000 catlady 2441592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how high. If it gets above 104, we usually call right away. If it's lower than that, we usually wait 3 days or so. She was actually just out of daycare for 2 days with a mild one (like 101) and we didn't bother calling or going in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441536 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:51:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2441536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: Did they test her for strep? C had a high fever for a few days and it turned out to be strep. I felt so bad for her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441496 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:36:10 +0000 winniebee 2441496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Day 5. R recently had a 103-104 for 5 days and it was miserable. The rest of us had colds. There's nothing they can do to treat a virus so unless I suspect ear infection I wait until that 5th day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441490 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:26:32 +0000 LBee 2441490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: Nope.. it was a pretty magical 5 days at the Lbee house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441473 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:16:56 +0000 avivoca 2441473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the longest we've had was 4 or 5 days. Both times it was viral so there wasn't anything we could do other than try to keep her comfortable. Poor D, I hope her fever breaks today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441472 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:16:46 +0000 BandDmommy 2441472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: I wonder if that's it.. Did they give you anything to treat it? Seems like something that just has to run its course :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441469 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:15:11 +0000 LBee 2441469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just recently had a fever virus for 5 days. Everyone was miserable. I took him to the pediatrician on day 3 - they told us a fever virus was going around his school and it would most likely last 5 days. I try to trust my gut on that kind of stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441463 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:10:09 +0000 BandDmommy 2441463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: She has a cough and very runny nose. The main reason I took her to pediatrician was how much discomfort she was in. Hopefully her fever breaks today and this is non issue. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441461 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:08:40 +0000 BandDmommy 2441461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: me too!

I thought ear infection for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-high-fever-before-you-go-to-doctor#post-2441453 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 09:04:15 +0000 Mamaof2 2441453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They wont see them until day 5 so that's what we do - assuming that's the only symptom </p>
