RandaBear159 · Mar 23rd, 2012, 14:40 PM

All day yesterday and so far today i have not been able to eat or drink anything without it coming right back up! I am so scared imma get dehydrated! How long can you go without anything and still be ok? Anyone know? I really dont want to go to the er and get an IV of Fluids, i have already had to do that once

Try some ice lollies hun, i had a sickness bug and couldnt keep anything down. Midwife told me to try ice lollies and it worked. Hope you feel better soon xxx

I was having trouble keeping fluids down last week. My Midwife told me that it was safe for me to take gravol to keep my stomach from getting upset so that the fluids will stay down.
You could try that.
Hope it helps

i have prescription anti nausea pills but those arent even working! And they are the strongest thing you can get while pregnant here...

Im thinking its going to end up being another night at the hospital =[

Oh.. On top of that my midwife said that she could prescribe me a safe medication that I could take that would also help settle my stomach (but only having student health coverage it was too expensive for me to get) You would ask your doctor(or midwife) if they have any recommendations for you.

Oh noesss ): ): ): Whatever is safest for you and the baby ): Just wish it wasn't a night at the hospital ): ): ):

I already have some, they aren't working out for me though. I already called my doctor and she said that if i cant keep anything down by the time my husband gets home that i need to go ahead and go to the hospital for fluids =[ ugh!

i dont know about america but over here you can get something called rehydration salts you add them to watter and just take little sips

i wouldnt worry too much i had norovirus for two days sorry if tmi but i was being sick and pooing water! i was fine

try different things pure apple juice is the only liquid i can keep down if im ill

also when my partner had norovirus they said to suck on ice cubes

if you do look for rehydration salts try to get them from a pharmacy so you can ask if they are ok for pregnancy but as far as i know they are fine

Oh noes ): and by the sounds of it, you wont be able to keep fluids down by the time your hubby is home.
I wish I had more advice for you that could help, maybe some of the other ladies will have better advice in the next little while. (I hope)
I just had a stomach flu so after I took something for it my stomach settled and allowed me to take fluids in.
