Most of what you say is normal. However, you should be able to use paracetomol to reduce the fever. It sounds like you may have flu or something similar. To put your mind at rest, see your doctor for a checkup. The doctor should be able to give you anti-biotics, if needed and possibly iron tablets. Your body could be tired and you could be slightly anaemic, iron tablets will sort that out. Before taking anything for the pain, fever dizziness etc. see your doctor first as your doctor knows your medical history and can prescribe accordingly.

As far as the temp goes that is normal,with pregnancy your basal temp is going to be slightly higher.You don't have to worry about your temp unless it reaches higher then 100.9 and you dont want it to go past 102 -103. Everything else sounds normal it usually is just the hormones and your body adjusting and growing for your new baby. If you are really concerned about everything though talk to your ob. Because until you talk to them you are not really going to be eased.

It's normal, and your body is changing rapidly so you're allowed to complain. I had a temperature for most of my first trimester, as long as it didn't go over 101 my OB thought I was fine.
Congratulations and best of luck!

Maybe Twins??? I am 4weeks pg with IVF so I have some of your symptoms... It takes a toll on your body but having a baby is so worth it.. Is this your first? If not our uterus stretches more with every child and we sometimes gain more weight with each child at least I did..

I'm also 8 weeks and I have all the same sxs. It's normal....
As long as your temp isn't any higher than 101 then you are ok.
