Scared :( ate KFC yesterday food poisoning - TMI

[Miss_BB]

Me and OH fancied KFC, so went and got a variety bucket...BIG MISTAKE!!

Since 1am I've had watery diarrhea and vomitting.

I looked up the danger to baby but cant find a definitive answer. Has anyone else had food poisoning and baby has been ok?

I had severe gastroenteritis with my 2nd, I was terrified that it would harm bubba, but she turned out just fine.
Make sure you keep your fluid intake up and let your body rid itself naturally of the toxins. If it goes on for more than 2 days, go to your GP.

i would get check out, as some bacteria can be dangerous to a unborn fetus. it should be in ur do and don'ts for baby about eating. gd luck x

Is your oh sick too Hun? It could just be that your body/ morning sickness isn't reacting well with all that grease. Fried chicken has that effect on me.

He is ok, had a bit of acid reflux in the early hours, but he's looking after me. I did wonder if it was too much for me. OH is a star bringing me water.

Vomitting and diarrhea aren't necessarily indicative of food poisoning. Food poisoning is extremely vicious illness that feels like your body is exploding and you really feel like you're going to die. Your body almost goes into convulsions trying to expel whatever it is that it's reacting to.

I read once that MS is your body's way of expelling toxins from the food you eat, it's like nature's way of protecting the baby from being exposed to bacteria in food. If your symptoms seem more like a bug then you probably don't have anything to worry about. If it persists into tomorrow then call your doc. Keep drinking lots of water!

Thanks, I've not thrown up for about 3 hours now, drinking water, if it does continue I'll definitely call the docs.
