Would you call the dr? Tmi

I had diarrhea Tuesday night and yesterday morning. This morning I haven't left the bathroom. Mh is freaking out saying I need to go to the dr. It's Thanksgiving! Are they going to laugh at me if I call for poop?

I'm just scared about listeria or something. But I have no other symptoms.

Call at least. That seems like a lot of time to have diarrhea and I also worry about you being hydrated. Do you feel okay otherwise??

[sunshineluv]

I would only call if I started to get dehydrated. If it makes you feel better DH and I rode in an ambulance to the er last year with a stomach bug (long story). They gave him fluids and morphine me just fluids. No one laughed at us.

I hope you stop getting sick so soon!

I would call - it might give you peace of mind.

I agree with the above advice. It's really easy to get dehydrated, so you need to keep an eye on yourself.

Call to be safe, but make sure you keep drinking a lot of water. You have to make up for what you're losing.

Lady, you are pregnant. You can call ANYTIME you need and never feel badly about it! It's part of their job description to be able to answer a call on a day off. It's not like they'll be in the middle of eating dinner right now anyway. If they make you feel badly about it, then they suck!

I'm sorry you are having stomach issues!

[laurack]

Given you are pregnant I would say yes. Dehydration is very bad for pregnancy.

TrudyCampbell had to go get Iv fluids and nobody laughed at her! I mean, not for that reason. Tee hehe

Seriously though, I do think you should call just to see what they suggest.

[spaghetticat]

I called and they just said they were closed and to press 0 if it was an emergency and an operator would take your call. I feel weird calling it an emergency so I'm drinking Gatorade and trying to wait it out until tomorrow.

[bean47]

I hope your feeling much better soon!

[skiesthelimit]

Since you are pregnant, call. I had the flu last week and it was coming out of both ends, luckily it only lasted a day and I was able to keep some water down that night. Call to be safe! Drink lots of water if you can. Feel better soon!

[jenbelle]

I would call now vs later-esp since you're pregnant. I hate calling too, but that's what they are there for. And better interrupt the morning than later, right? Feel better!!!

I had to go in for IV fluids more than once while pregnant. The nurses always told me if I couldn't keep anything in/down for 24hrs that I should definitely go in for fluids, but if I could drink Gatorade or an ensure etc and stay hydrated than I shouldn't worry. Of course if you are feeling really ill and the diarrhea persists than absolutely call and don't feel bad about it.
