its been 2 days and i have been having extreme pain on my lower-mid right side that is not going away with any position changing...if fact if i do not stay completely still, it hurts more. my fever has been fluctuating between 99.5-101.3 for the past 2 days now. i cannot sleep and the md doesn't seem to be concerned. do you think it could be something really wrong, like my appendix or something with the baby? i am getting really nervous...and i finally see him tonight.
So, I called the Ob to tell him, and they did not seem concerned...I was to see them 2 days later-and still feeling the same, he brought me into the hospital where I was monitored for 2 days...then I started having contractions and I was not due for another 2 weeks....Baby RObert Marco was born on 10/22/06!!! The right sided pain eventually went away...who knows why I had the fever, maybe it was just my body saying "it's time"
Any fever greater than 101.5 is treated in a hospital and perhaps the MD feels that the temp has not reached that point and is not cause for alarm, however, in the case of being pregnant,it would seem the safest thing to do is to get seen in the ER or Urgent Care if the OB will not fit you in. X-Ray is out of the question, but an ultrasound could be done and a blood count to see if you have a virus or a bacteral infection. Good luck.

I hope you post an update to this!
Any time you have pain like that and have a high fever it is either see the doctor ASAP or get thyself to an emergency room. That is definitely not something you want to play around with!
if you have fever and extreme pain there is cause for concern. when is your due date? expalin to you ob-gyn if thats who your seeing that you think there is something wrong and you want to be put on the monitor or maybe an ultrasound. is this your first abby? is the baby moving? i would express my concern and explain your fear and discomfort. otherwise you may want to find another ob-gyn. in worse case you can go to hospital where you will deliver and they should see you in labor and delivery on triage side. where are you from? good luck and try to relax i am sure everything will be ok.
