LO with stomach bug!! Should I be worried?

Mammatini1

I'm 7 weeks tomorrow. Kinda freaking out. My LO has thrown up twice already. She's been exposed to stomach bug in daycare so I am pretty confident she has it. I have definitely been exposed to it. Is this going to be harmful to my baby?

I would tend to think it's okay, but call your doctor if you're concerned and try to be vigilant about washing your hands.

If it makes you feel any better, when I was pregnant with my son, I had three ear infections (one in each trimester). The infection in the first trimester was at 7 weeks and was accompanied by a high fever. I focused on using water to keep the fever manageable and to stay hydrated (doctor recommendation) and was prescribed a category B antibiotic. Everything was fine.

I hope your daughter feels better soon and that you make it through without catching the bug.

@kbrands7 thank you!!! I am a teacher so I should know better when it comes to keeping the germs at bay! And omg

Yep. I'm a teacher too; I swear the germs just stick to me when my immunity is low. Last year I started showering the minute I got home from work and only got sick once.
