I was just thinking about this the other day since she will only go to sleep rocking and nursing. So I thought what if I get the stomach flu then what?! So sorry!! Hopefully you're feeling better!

Ugh. That sounds like a whole bunch of no fun. Hope you feel better soon.

Oh yuck. That sounds awful! I hope you feel better soon!

That really sucks. Hope you feel better soon. Last time it happened to me I had to call DH to come home from work because I was literally too weak to pick up the baby out of her crib. No fun!

Thanks ladies! Luckily I have DH here to help today. This reminds me of morning sickness. Cheers to those moms who go through morning sickness with infants/toddlers!

Did your baby end up getting the flu from you spinsoffresonance

Babies are vaccinated at 2 months against the rotavirus, which is the most common strain of stomach flu. I was glad to hear this, since I just went through the same thing on Sunday/Monday- DS1, who is 5 brought it home from school and spread it to both mine, and H's entire family as well as us. So far, LO has not got it (4 days later) so I am assuming the vaccine did it's job.

I had the stomach flu 7 months pregnant. Ts and Ps to you. And zofran (sp?)

I also had it when I was pregnant, like 38 weeks along. I couldn't eat for 4 days or drink hardly anything for a couple of days. I was very worried but my OB said to just let it pass. My DS1 ended up getting it right before I was scheduled for my induction, and he threw up for nearly a week, and could not meet his baby brother for several days as we were worried about our newborn getting it.

Actually the baby caught it at daycare and gave it to me. I made DH come home and gave it to him.

I had a stomach virus a few months ago and got very dehydrated as well. One time I tried to nurse I couldn't get to let down. But when I pumped it was fine. So I just had to go that route a few times. --- side note and may be TMI... But did anyone who has had flu/virus and were throwing up feel like you had a let down while throwing up? Random and gross I know but everytime I threw up I felt that same sensation...? Thank goodness it was only a 24hr virus...
