Help! Dehydration

AllieBelle1AllieBelle1
in 2nd Trimester

Hi Ladies. I'm 25 weeks and starting 12 hours ago, I began getting sick with a stomach virus or food poisoning. I've had some eh, forceful, vomiting and diarrhea and can't keep even a sip of water down, let alone sleep.

I'm starting to get worried about dehydration because I feel like I am dying of thirst! I know I feel really crappy but I'm not sure if it is overreacting at this point to call my doc about dehydration concerns. My doctor's office opens in an hour and a half but has an emergency on-call number. 

Any of you had something similar? Do I have reason to worry yet?

    I think you should call the on-call number.  I haven't experienced dehydration while pregnant, but I have before and it's the worse, so I can't imagine being pregnant on top of it.  I hope you feel better!

    I would call your Dr for sure - I had a stomach bug last week and they wanted to see me right away.

    I hope you feel better soon!

    you definitely need to get in contact with your MD, another 1.5 hours isn't going to hurt anything. No need to bug the on-call people.

    I would defintely call. For a non-sick person, the feeling of thirst means you are already dehydrated. Since you are very thirsty, and cant keep anything down, I would call. They may want to get you some IV fluids. Hope you feel better soon!!

    Call your dr NOW.  This happened to me earlier this month.  You need to get an IV. I didn't know this but vomitting and dehydration is a cycle.  The more you vomit the more dehydrated you get.  The more dehydrated you get the more you vomit.  Not sure about your office but mine can do an IV right there.  Unfortunatley I was too dehydrated for them to get a good vein so I had to go to the hospital.  Please call them....they don't want you to wait.  And in the meantime try some ice chips.

    Thanks everyone. I waited until the office opened and they wanted me to come see the nurse practitioner as soon as I can get over there. And I'll try the ice chips in the mean time!

    I say it never hurts to call.

    I was sick like that about a month ago and when I puked I was fine for a bit and then would puke again once I woke up.  So I just drank water or ginger ale right after I puked so that I knew it would be in me for maybe an hour to 2.  I know, not the best fix, but it kept me from getting too bad.
