Dehydration/diarrhea/cramping WTD?

So Thursday night I was up all night with diarrhea. Needless to say I was super dehydrated Friday, and drunk as much fluids as I could but obviously was still dehydrated. Had one diarrhea episode Friday which led to terrible cramping that night. Today had another 'episode' and am so dehydrated. OB nurse said to take Imodium and keep drinking water, my DH wants to take me to ER. And I'm a hot mess! Anyone been through this? Advice? Thanks
*side note, I have been battling sinus/cold for three weeks...maybe it's a stanch bug now-but this can't be good for me or baby

Re: Dehydration/diarrhea/cramping WTD?

  • Any persistent diarrhea should be seen by a dr as soon as you can. Imodium can help the problem but you may need to treat the underlying cause and also may need fluids depending on your electrolyte levels. I wouldnt panic but I would see a Dr if I were you.

  • Seeing a dr and needing fluids is what we're thinking too. Of course we are in Chicago dr away from where we live. Ugh :(
