So much for not ever getting sick while I'm pregnant..(TMI warning)

Yesterday I was as sick as I've ever been in a long, long time. My stomach was upset - I still have no idea why or what I ate that caused it.

(Here comes the TMI)

My dad and step-mother came over and I thought I was okay, but then suddenly I was running to the bathroom every few minutes. As the day progressed, I felt worse and worse. At one point I told my DH that I'd probably feel better if I threw up (and it should be noted that I haven't done that in at least 7 years and never with my first pregnancy or during this one until now). Later on it happened... and then it happened again while... let's just say I'm happy to have a small bathroom with the toilet and the sink right next to each other.

I called the doctor and the one who was on call said she thought it sounded like a GI problem and I didn't need to go to the hospital unless I wanted to - which I didn't since my hospital is soooo far away and my Dad and step-mother just got over the flu so DD was going to totally wear them out if I left her alone with them, but it was really scary for me. I don't even think I let anyone know how upset I really was....

I haven't been sick at all since yesterday but I've only eaten a dry bagel and drank some seltzer. I feel like you're not supposed to get sick at ALL during pregnancy so now I'm worried and paranoid that something terrible is going to happen.

ugh, that is terrible! Don't get too worried...I had a friend who was sick and throwing up her ENTIRE pregnancy, for 9 whole months!! I hope you feel better and everything is ok, I'm sure it is

Scary!

I hope that you get better real soon and its nothing.

awwww, I feel bad that no one knew how sick and upset you were.

I would def try to relax and if you dont feel good and it continues, get to a doctor.

I was so sick my entire PG - and I know EXACTLY what you mean when you say you're glad the sink and the toilet are next to each other.

Sounds like maybe it could be a little stomach virus... hang in there! keep eating bland

Oh Rebecca I am so sorry. When I was pregnant with Athan - around 13 weeks along - I got this awful virus or something. I couldn't stop throwing up for about 4 days straight and couldn't eat a thing. I thought something awful was happening and I felt terrible that I couldn't keep anything down for baby. But sure enough it passed within a few days and everything was OK! And I never got sick again during my pregnancy. Try to keep eating and especially drink lots of fluids - even if you end up throwing it up. I and sending you tons of hugs and you feel better SOON!!!!!!

Awww- sounds like a virus to me.
I hear a lot of that is going around.
Just keep hydrated as much as you can and feel better!!
