Patient's question:
AgeDetailed medical history and purpose of consultation: I had three miscarriages before marriage. After a year, I got pregnant again. At 7 weeks of pregnancy, I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said there was no fetal heartbeat yet. They recommended coming back in a week. A week later, I went to another hospital, and the doctor said everything was normal. At 10 weeks, I had a small amount of vaginal bleeding that lasted for two or three days. Another ultrasound was done, and the doctor said it was nothing, possibly just too tired. At 16 weeks, due to the stress of the wedding, I had a persistent fever, with a high of 39.5 degrees Celsius. Later, I went to the hospital and received three days of intravenous penicillin before the fever gradually subsided. However, until now, at 21 weeks, I often feel chills and fever, especially between 3 and 4 a.m. I went to the doctor.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your case, it's best to wait and see. It's normal for the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) to be slightly elevated during pregnancy. It's best to monitor it dynamically.I suggest that during pregnancy, you try to keep your mood calm, maintain a regular lifestyle, ensure adequate sleep, drink plenty of water, especially a large glass of warm water on an empty stomach every morning. Avoid spicy foods and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. You must undergo regular prenatal check-ups to ensure the health of both the fetus and the mother.
