Stomach Bug Anyone?

MrsMVM

Not sure if it's food poisoning or a bug, but omg, what a night. I woke up at around 3am and it went on until 6. I was in tears, of course, worried about LO. I picked up my WTEWYE and it says both food poisoning and stomach bugs will not affect LO, but dehydration will. It's just been awful.

I called my OB's office, they also say don't worry and bugs happen, and as long as it's not listeria (which it isn't because I didnt have any of the culprits that cause it) that I should just rest, hydrate and not worry.

The hard part is that I'm in no-man's land right now- no appt/us until 4/7 for my 16week. At a time like now, I wish I had a doppler. You know?

Have any of you had such a thing? And had everything be ok? I feel all 1st tri board with my panic. Lol.

I've done that twice so far with Riley.  Once was when I took my PNV on an empty stomache...duh...and the other was when I had a waaaaaay to greesy cheeseburger.

No matter what it is, if you were getting sick for a few hours you need to make sure to rehydrate yourself.

I had a stomach bug for about 5 days (started off bad bug for 3 days and then 2 days of really bad gas after I ate anything- tmi) during my 10th week.  I was worried because I had just gotten back to Honduras and I wasn't going to the doctor again until today, but I called my doctor and they said everything was fine as long as I stayed hydrated.  I stayed home from work for two days and just rested and drank lots of gatorade/pedilyte to keep some electrons and everything was fine.  I went to the doctor today and heard the baby's heartbeat right away. 

 Just try and rest and stay hydrated, hopefully it will go away soon, but if it doesn't and your worried no harm in going to the doctor.

I'm experiencing that right now. I've been vomiting all day. DH got me some Gatorade and I can't even keep that down. It's awful. I hope it passes quickly for both of us!

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon, too. I haven't vomited, but I have had the other stuff. I am going to stop worrying. I am sure LO is just fine.

You guys are all wonderful. Seriously- thanks!

I had the full on stomach flu.... 3 days before we were supposed to leave for Mexico!!! I vomited... and ran to the bathroom for toilet reasons about every 10 min for 2 days!!! I called the nurses hotline and they told me to go to thehospital to check for fluids btu I just kept eating popsicles and drinking anything I could find.... My husband thought that Poweraid would be bad for the baby so he wouldn't buy me any... but later I read that it would have been the best thing to drink! I got better after 3 days... then my poor husband got it while we were in Mexico!!! What can you do?... Feel Better!
