Stomach Bug + Pregnancy = Death

[kellsbelles]

Fml I got hit hard with either a stomach virus or food poisoning last night I haven't been sick like this since I was 9 and being pregnant multiplies the death feeling by 100. I'm taking it super easy today drinking Gatorade and tea and may try some apples later. Anyone else go through this and have any remedies?  Please tell me it's all going to get better from here!

This also gives me a whole new appreciation for moms who have to take care of kids when they feel like this. Wishing a healthy day to everyone else!

No experience during pregnancy, but man that sucks. I hope you feel better asap!

Whenever I'm sick like that I revert to the BRATY diet that they recommend for kids - bananas, rice, applesauce, toast and yogurt.

I have no advice but I hope you feel better soon!

[starburst604]

Nooooooo! That's been one of my huge fears while being pregnant. I'm so sorry you're sick

[brandienee]

Ugh. That sounds miserable. I am so so sorry. Feel better soon.

[hainesherway]

I had a night like that a couple weeks ago and it was miserable. Take care of yourself!

[nmosrob]

I hope you feel better soon!

[Koala]

Oh no. Feel better

I had the same thing back in November around 9 or 10 weeks. I spent every hour hugging the toilet through a night. It does get better and usually only lasts 24 hours or so. Make sure you stay hydrated with whatever you can keep down.

If you aren't keeping anything down at all, no fluids, I would get a hold of your OB. I was throwing up water and ended up in the ER for fluids.

At 35 weeks I had thr stomach bug from hell. I literally couldn't keep anythimg down or in. Contractions started only a few hours after the first symptoms hit. Make sure to call your ob and let them know. They might want you to get monitored and have fluids so it doesn't get dangerous.

[feistypants]

Hydrate as much as you can. My OB's recommendation was to do only liquids until 24 hours after I last threw up, then start the BRAT diet. I ended up in the ER for hydration because I was so sick. Feel better soon!

[dearprudence]

No advice but I hope it passes quickly and you feel better soon!

[thejackpot]

Feel better. Hope it only last for 24 hrs or so, if not you may want to call your OB to check in.

[starburst]

Ugh, I'm sorry. I hope it runs its course quickly.

[coda]

I hope you feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon.

I'm in the same boat. Kept throwing up last night. DH called my ob and she said to just try to drink water and eat toast if I can. I slept most of today and haven't thrown up so I think it's on it's way out. It really sucks though. I'm on the couch now while DH is putting DS to bed.

[cheeseandcrackers]

Oh no!! I hope you feel better.

[kellsbelles]

Thank you all for the well wishes. After sleeping most of the day yesterday I am feeling like a new woman this am! Thankfully it was just a 24 hour thing. So glad this didn't happen when we were on our babymoon next week!

Hope you're feeling better today! I literally feel your pain

This was me a few weeks ago, and it was pretty much the worst.  And we had guys in our apartment doing construction that weekend.

Stay hydrated and feel better!

Ugh what a nightmare Glad it ran its course. Now no more stomach bugs for another like 20 years for both of us ok!?

So unfair to get while pregnant! I think we have both paid our dues and shouldn't get sick like this for years to come!

That sounds like pure misery. I hope you're starting ot feel better.
