Could Fever During Pregnancy With Episodes Of Spotting While Being On Dupahaston With Folic Acid Cause Harm To Fetus?

Hi, My wife is currently six weeks pregnant. She has been having episodes of spotting ( dark brown in colour mostly and occassionally red). She has been taking Duphaston along with folic acid as prescribed by her doctor. but now, for the past two days she has been running a temperature of 38.7c- 39.7c. Will this affect the baby in any manner? Should we abort before its too late? sincerely hoping for a reply at the earliest.
Thanking in advance.

Hi Joy. Fever at early pregnancy is really harmful. You should get routine investigations for fever , like CBC, Urine C/E, MP film, Typhi Ig M.and take proper treatment for it after consulting your dr. Also brownish spotting is a worrying thing. Please get your internal scan at the earliest to see all is well. If everything fine then you may be prescribed injectable progesterones and other treatment for maintainence of pregnancy . You can also get double marker study at 9-11 weeks time. Thanks.
