Food poisoning or bad m/s + upset stomach..?

bim38106 · March 2009

ugh, all I know is I feel awful!!!! I tried to eat some canned peaches for breakfast this morning but they tasted weird to me, so after a few bites, I dumped them. Then I threw up (been feeling nauseated the past few weeks but this is the first time I've gotten physically sick). I felt fine after that.. then I ate lunch and went on to throw that up and have a horrible upset stomach, massive cramps included...

I feel better now that I've been sick but my body feels so beat up! Thank God DH stayed home from work today or I don't know what I would have done w/ DD.

DH thinks I should call my OB but I figure I'll wait and see how I'm feeling and if this keeps up, then I'll call tomorrow.. that's fine, right? I'll just keep chugging the water and hope it stays down..

This is more of a pity party for myself then anything else.. I can't remember the last time I felt this horrible! And I hate the thought that this might be m/s because it makes me feel like my body is rejecting this baby.. even though I know that's ridiculous.. but I felt so great while PG w/ DD, I feel sad that my body is reacting differently this time

I feel for you! I felt great when I was pregnant with my daughter too, and so horrible this time. I have had horrible nausea for the past like 6 weeks, but I got a stomach bug and I knew it was different. I threw up for 4 days and finally called my OB for some meds. If this continues tomorrow, you should probably try to get something so you can at least keep liquids down. You don't want to get dehydrated. I hope you feel better soon!

I think you sum up the guilt of m/s perfectly. Every time I wretch I keep thinking my body is trying to reject the baby. It's tough to feel that horribly and yet still believe everything is developing as it should. I hope you feel better soon!

when had the "bug" + m/s i threw up every hour (on the hour) for about 16-17 hours. Otherwise how you feel is probably icky m/s.

Thanks guys Leela, I will definitely call my OB tomorrow if this keeps up.. so far so good with the water though..

Mrs.sage, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one w/ that thought/guilt. I know it's so ridiculous but it really makes me sad and it surprises me that I feel this way.. I guess because it's happening to ME this time.. when it was my friends sick all the time, it was just m/s and a part of pregnancy.. but now that it's me, it's my body doing this horrible thing and not protecting the baby like it should be, not true I know, but I hate that that's how it makes me feel!

Well I can't get over the thoughts that I'm fighting some terrible illness and maybe tomorrow is the day I'll have it beat. I used to always see other pregnant women and say, "Geez, c'mon now how bad can it be? So you get up in the morning and puke in the toilet, not a big deal."

Now on the other side, I'm saying, "Dear God am I going to die today?"
