throwing up update

Mrslisvenn · August 2009

Today has been the worst day ever of my pregnancy.. ive thrown up three times and have had loose stool as well.. i considered going to ER but when i talked to the on call nurse from my ob/gyn office - she recommended that i not go to the ER as i was still peeing.. she said if i didnt pee in 24 hours and that would be imperative to go to ER as that would mean i have dehydrated... she also recommended that i give up drinking water but to drink gatorade and sprite as they both have sugar... i do have my first appointment tomorrow and she thought my dr would give me meds at that time..?

?

thought id share as there are so many different opinions about what we should do when this happens.. ?

I'm sorry- I hope you feel better soon- drink that gatorade.

Just try to hang in there, perhaps you've picked up a little bug or something. Keep trying those liquids and get some rest. Unfortunately vomiting and loose stool are both common to varying degrees in early pregnancy.

believe me im trying to hang in there - i just threw up again

.. the nurse did say if my temp was over 100.4 and that i go to er immediately but it hasnt been that close anyway?

When I was pregnant with my DD I got really sick. The nurse told me to do the BRAT diet, and it helped.

B- bananas or broth

R- plain rice

A- plain applesauce

T- plain toast

She also told me to slowly chew on ice chips instead of water, and if I could keep those down for an hour then I could slowly drink room temperature water. Gatorade was another thing she told me I could drink.

I hope you feel better soon!
