3rd Trimester

Stomach Virus - bleck!

I'm 31 weeks today and home for the 3rd day in a row recovering from a wicked stomach virus. ?Vomiting, explosive diarreah, fever.... ?I just feel awful, still have the runs and have zero energy. ?Doctor said just rest and get fluids, which I am. ?How much longer until I'll be back up and about so I can go to my job (pre-k TA) and work on getting the nursery ready? ?

  • that is the worst- i had it 2 weeks ago.

    if you are having trouble staying hydrated- go to L&D and get IV fluids... dehydration can cause PTL easily - it's nothing to joke around with.

    as far as working- it might be a few days - i know i was knocked out for quite a few days even after the symptoms went away- i was very weak.  I would worry more about your baby than working - and making sure you don't go into labor!

    did your doc OK taking Imodium? Mine told me to take one imodium after each "episode" (diarrhea)... up to 8 per day.

    feel better!!!
