10 wks pg & stomach virus. :(. Call dr or not?

L D · December 2011

I'll be 10 wks tomorrow and I've been up since 5am with a stomach virus. It's not pleasant (both ends) I can't keep water down. I've been trying to sip on some here and there but it doesn't seem like enough with what is coming back up. Should I call my dr or wait and see. What are the major signs of dehydration?

I'd wait 24 hrs of so, unless you're just continually throwing up/heaving (even without eating/drinking). Maybe have your H get some Gatorade or similar for you to sip on. Aside from Ben, when the rest of us have been sick over the last month, it has all been 12-24 hrs, then we're much better.

Otherwise, I'd just use it as an excuse to not do much!

My DD got dehydrated from a stomach virus, the doctor said to watch the mouth and lips if they are not wet at all she was dehydrated.

water is hard on your stomach when you are sick.

You probably should try gatorade, but even that, I would wait a bit after puking before downing anything...let your stomach settle a little.

And I woudl wait to call the doc and see if it continues...

I'm 37 weeks and had that last weekend. Try Popsicles. Call the on-call doctor if you're at all concerned but they've probably seen a lot of it.

Try Ice chips. The are suppose to be easy on the stomach. I had a stomach virus when I was 8 weeks pregnant with DD. Luckily it only lasted about 12 hrs. I would probably put in a call and see what they suggest, just to be on the safe side. And, I'm sorry.
