Fever after delivery is it normal?
Hi i deliver two days ago and wa discharged from the hospital yesterday and everything was fine. My baby is fine as well. Well last night i woke up to feed him abd noticed i was off balance and had a fever. My body ached and i have chills. I took medication and half an hour later it all went away. Then throughout the day i have another one and then another one right now. I seem to get this way after the end of the medication period. Makes no sense. Plz feex back
Did you have an epidural? Epidural fevers can happen. Usually the same day but occasionally as late as a week after delivery. Call your doc/midwife.
Dont sound normal you should call your Dr right away!
You need to let them know immediately if you have any unexplained fevers (fever without a cold or known infection). Good luck!
How high is it? It's not normal to have a fever after delivery. You need to call your ob.
