Gastroenteritis?

[london_gal]

Hi, my doctor has diagnosed me with gastroenteritis and I've had it for 5 days now! I've stopped vomitting and started to keep food down, but feeling really nauseous again today and nothing seems to be helping!

Has anyone else had it while pregnant? Got any advice or know how long it will take me to recover??

I feel so weak and sick, after I'd just got rid of ms and was feeling on top of the world!

Aw hun hugs, haven't had gastroenteritis, so wouldn't know about it, but I hope you get better soon =[ I just have the typical pregnancy sickness, I try to drink a lot of water and small snacks, but it's hard sometimes to eat it, even 20 weeks now and it's back! Grrr, let's hope you make a full recovery XO

I had it bad years ago when i was expecting my twins. It was horrible. Just make sure you drink plenty of fluid...even fizzy juice which can give you more energy. I think the main thing is keeping your fluid intake up. Also soup is quite good if your up to it. x

YUK! I had that bad last year......drink plenty and get rest. Stay in bed as much as you can.

Oh no! hope you get better soon. I had a 24hour sick bug when i was 9weeks pregnant, it was awful. Just try to do as the others say, rest and fluids. Eat small snacks when you feel you can eat again.XX

Maybe try some Gaviscon a couple of times a day?
It will give you a protective lining on your stomach and may settle your nausea.

Ive got Gastritis atm and its worked for me.

Thanks ladies

Lots of bed rest and fluids for me! Just getting a little worried that I've hardly eaten a thing for 5 days now, and hoping this doesnt affect the baby?

It wont affect baby...thats why you are feeling so rough! Its taking ALL your nutrients!!! You could try a little soup and toast if you are up to it...a soup that is very light like a clear soup?

Oooh terrible stuff!!! I had this when I was 3 weeks pg I didnt know I was preganant at the time and went to a party had 3 beers went to a club and collapsed!!! Became unconscious outside the club, paramedics were called - awful time - thought I was dying but didnt even suspect I was pregnant but I know I am lucky as I fell pretty hard when I lost consciousness!!! - Also had it at 7 mths PG with my 1st had it for 2 weeks didnt know what it was, again thought I was gonna die I eventually took Immodium to stop me running to the loo - amazing stuff

Hope u feel better soon, such a horrible thing to go thru!!!
