    momma/babyrn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is it normal for a PP mother to run a lowgrade temp in the 48 hrs after delivery? If so, at what point would the OB want to medicate? I'm just curious b/c I'm so used to medicating medical patients on the floor w/ Tylenol for anything above 101.0. Do...
