Ok I am 3 months preg and last night I was laying down and about ready to go to sleep and all of a sudden I started to shake. It felt like I was shaking from the inside out...And I got really hot and headspin dizzy. I went to the hospital and I had a fever and my pulse was really high....They had no clue what was wrong with me, my hands were swollen and everything....So nobody had a clue at all what it was then all of a sudden the doc came back and said "oh well we have had alot of people come in with a fever being dizzy with swollen hands and they had the shakes" should I believe him? Sounds to me like he didnt know what was wrong with me so he made something up...He said it should be better by moday and if not go straight to my obgyn. This is also the same doc that I went in before and had symptoms and he didnt know what they were so he said bronchitis was going around and gave me an inhaler...Few days later I had my gallbladder taken out because it was right full of stones...Give me your op's. Please Confused

How are you feeling now? If you are still feeling unwell, it might be a good idea to go back to the hospital. It does sound as if the doctor might have been fobbing you off a bit. Doesn't mean there's necessarily anything for you to worry about though.

No im still a little dizzy and still have a low grade fever but he said that I might still feel like this today and maybe even tomorrow, but I just called my doc office and they are not open on weekends and dont even have an off hours service, I need to switch docs I think....Who I had for my son was awsome cause if I had a question off hours they would let you leave a message and someone would call back within an hour or so.....I dunno

If in any doubt, go to the hospital. Don't worry about being seen as 'making a fuss' - you are just like every other pregnant woman and are worried about your baby! Go with your instinct. You know best.

You need to get a second opinion.

Not often but occasionally women develop preeclampsia early on which can be detrimental to yuor health and the babys.

Go to a different hospital if possible.. Or even request a different Dr.
