Your doctor might be worried that you
could have a urinary tract infection as
this can cause you to have chills or a
fever. This is more common in pregnancy
and needs attending to because it can
spread to your kidneys and can even cause
a miscarriage in rare cases. Go and see
your doctor if you are feeling unwell or
just to put your mind at rest.

Don't panic if you do have an infection.
I had one in my pregnancy and I was given
antibiotics which sorted it out. I gave
birth to a healthy (and gorgeous) little
boy so please don't worry.
