can fever harm my baby?

It started with zaiid, our 1.10yo baby who got a nasty flu last week. the doctor said it was due to weather change. Thankfully, he's at least not getting any fever.

The flu passed on to my husband and then finally to me. I couldn't go to work today because of the fever I got since last night. I was worried I could be hurting Baby Manghud. He was giving out more jabs and kicks these days. Haaay, I hope our little one is ok.

I found this from babycenter:
"Well, if you have a high fever in the first trimester when the baby is forming, it can cause neural tube defects. After the first trimester, having a fever puts a certain metabolic stress on the baby — you're both burning up calories and oxygen faster, so it's like the baby has a fever too. But it's not dangerous unless the pregnancy is already on the edge. If you have cystic fibrosis or heart disease, for instance, a fever at that point could tip you over into more serious complications. A fever from the flu won't directly hurt your baby after the first trimester, although pregnant women can get very sick from the flu and should be vaccinated against it. But if you're totally healthy, a routine cold with a fever isn't going to have much effect on either you or the baby."

I didn't want to take medicine to relieve my body aches and the fever. I was too scared it might harm my little bump. So we searched the net and found out that it was totally safe to take Paracetamol (Panadol) during pregnancy. I took one tablet about three hours ago and had a good rest. The fever's gone now. I was already up singing with Zaiid "In A Cottage By The Wood" again.
