passed out in movies

I had a very scary Sunday!!! 

I've had a stomach virus for the weekend and on Sunday I was finally feeling better.  My husband and I went out for breakfast and then went to the movies.  Once we got to the movies- I passed out.  I went to the emergency room and found out that I had severe dehydration and my body was in starvation mode.  They kept me in the hospital for 5 hours to rehydrate.  Both babies are completely fine- strong heartbeats and movement.

Now I am sitting here trying to relax and take in enough food and fluid.  Has anyone else had to go through this type of ordeal???

    I had that norovirus when I was 25 weeks along.  I puked for 14 hours straight - couldn't keep down anything.  I started having mild contractions and ended up in L&D to be monitored and rehydrated via IV.  It is very scary.  Be sure to stay off of your feet, rest up and drink a ton of water.  Glad to hear everything is fine.  I didn't know but dehydration can cause premature labor.

    I had a stomach virus while I was about 28 weeks pg with my triplets and I ended up in the hospital too, due to dehydration, after much ado.  Actually, I had the stomach virus, then the next weekend I passed a HUGE kidney stone (which landed me in the hospital overnight for pain mgmt and to watch the babies), and the following weekend I was admitted for PTL.  So it wasn't right away like yours, but they gave me IV fluids when I went in for the kidney stone, and again when I was admitted for PTL.  So I guess I just couldn't replenish on my own what I had lost while I was puking my guts up.  It was scary but I ended up with a shot of terb, 3 bags of fluids, and back home on light bedrest until I delivered at 34 1/2 weeks.

    Good luck!

    I'm hoping that I don't have to go onto bedrest.  This is the first time I've been sick since I got pregnant and I am hoping that I can recover quickly.

    Make sure you drink lots of fluids- even more than you think you need.  I thought I was taking in plenty and boy was I wrong!!!!

     Feel better.
