1st Trimester

Higher Body Temp in PG?

I usually run "cold" (maybe 97.8 degrees or so - common in my family) I have noticed for the last couple days (week) I have been feeling a little "feverish". I usually feel "cold" when I actually have a fever (shiver and can't get "warm"). 

DH will feel my forehead and say I feel warm. I take my temperature and it is about 98.6 degrees (which is warmer than usual). 

So now I am concerned. I have heard fevers in PG can be bad for the baby.

I have been avoiding all caffeine, artificial sweeteners, my heating pad and all over the counter medicine. So I don't think it is something I am eating/doing. 

I am just worried because I am trying so hard to be healthy for the baby. 

Should I call a doctor?
