Food poisoning

I'm currently 11 weeks preggo and traveling overseas on our one year anniversary that DH and I planned since beginning of the year not knowing when we would get pregnant. I ate something bad a couple days ago and have had nonstop bathroom trips. I don't know what I ate that caused this and I've read that most food poisoning will not harm the baby as long as i stay hydrated. I won't be home for a few more days don't have access to healthcare where I'm at. Has anyone else experienced something similar that can offer suggestions?

    Wow! So sorry! Yeah drink a ton of fluids especially since the baby is taking half of what you take in already. Depending on where you are there might be at least a pharmacy that you can get suggestions and/or remedies. Good luck!

    Oh no!! I'm so sorry. Just stay hydrated- try to add some Gatorade in if it's available where you are. I hope you are still able to enjoy your trip.

    I'm sorry. I had it in 3rd tri last pregnancy and it was awful. Stay hydrated - if they have a version of pedialyte pops +/or gatorade those can help. Also, if you haven't already, go to a bland diet. I hope you feel better and can enjoy the rest of your trip.

    You could try calling your insurance to see if there are any available health-care resources where you are? Or call your doctor at home and see if it is safe now to try an immodium a-d medicine? Sometimes even after the actual bad stuff or illness has passed, it takes awhile to settle my stomach. Last time I was traveling and pregnant, they recommended a couple doses.

    Ugh, that sounds awful! Especially on an anniversary trip. :( Does your doctor's office have an email you could contact them by? If you're still feeling super awful it may be beneficial to call them, or even your health/travel insurance who can advise you where to go overseas for medical attention.

    Thanks everyone for the response. I have emailed my doctor and she said as long as I don't develop any other symptoms such as a fever/flu like then there is not much else I can do but let it run it's course :( i've been drinking tons of gatorade and eating crackers. I might try to find a local pharmacy here. Good idea!

    I had food poisoning at 15 weeks with my last son. I ended going to the dr and the gave me meds to ease the puking so I could keep water down. I don't know if you can get any thing where you are? Just drink as much water as you can and rest as much as you can. Best of luck.
