What's high for a newborn(dd is 3weeks)
Took hers cause she seems off today and got worried (I'm prob overreacting)

Nah...
Did you take it rectally? If so, it tends to be a little higher.
Also newborns tend to run a litte on the warmer side.

I refer to this article regarding temps: Fevers
The shaking would scare me. I would call the Ped, even if it's for peace of mind. I hope Brianna is fine!!

not like this, its like a tremble/ startle reflex. She gets startled a lot but today its more then before. Ugh being a parent is so hard. I've call her ped office 3 times today I have a feeling I'm calling a again.

99.3 isn't even high for an adult
My ped didn't even have us call until the fever was above 101.3
But I agree with the pps that the shaking would make me a touch nervous. Call the ped

For a 3 week old, once a fever hits 100.4, call the doctor.
