Stomach Virus? or pregnant? who has thought they were poorly to find out pgs?

[chantellep223]

Hi, last night has to of been the worst night of my life! I was freezing at parts, I couldnt get comfitable, my stomach was turning like CRAZY! Everytime i started to drop off i woke str8 back up, my back was hurting so bad i ended up having a little sob lol. by around the 3.30 mark i still couldnt sleep kept getting up thinking i was going to be sick and then being freezing because i had got out of bed.
In the end i figured the only way ill be able to sleep is if the sickness goes away so i had to make myself sick then i pretty much felt normal again (except backache) and went to sleep.

Woke this morning and back still really achey a little nauseas but not too bad.

So my question is this, Morning sickness- Really is just sickness. No build up to it? or what?

Im certain i must of ate something dodegy yesturday or got a 24hr stomach bug

Has anyone had this to find out they wer pregnant or thought it was morning sickness and it turned out to be a bug??

Sorry the post is SOOOO long but i am hardly ever sick not for years, and for me to hardly feel sick at all this morn like 6hrs later just makes me wonder.. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply Praying it turns into good news but defo not convinced

chantellep223,

I know this is an old post but I'm doing some research. I just found out I'm pregnant 2 days ago. I woke up from a nap with severe diarrhea and nausea. I took some home tests that were positive. Apparently the diarrhea and abdominal cramps aren't normal with pregnancy, so a nurse told me to go to urgent care. I was told today that I have a stomach virus and pregnancy symptoms intermeshed. I also quit smoking and taking Tramadol 50mg once a day ( I thought I was just withdrawing from it). After reading about some foods you shouldn't have while pregnant, I realized I probably have a bacterial problem. I ate a cold cut deli sandwich the day I got sick, something that has a high risk for food poisoning an expecting person. So I guess now I'm probably a prime example of why you should follow the food rules :/ This is horrible, I have an awful aversion to eating as well as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and terrible abdominal cramps. I'm dehydrated and can't keep anything down.

My point is...since you've already had your baby, could you tell me if it ever went away? If by some chance this is just pregnancy, I don't know how long I can deal

I thought I had got the flu from df's daughter from a previous relationship right before I found out that we were pregnant, our daughter is going on 2 and mine only lasted a couple of days.. hope you get to feeling better soon hun

Chantelle--Just to assuage your fears, the bacteria that you can get from cold cuts (why they tell pregnant women not to consume them without properly heating them) is called Listeria Monocytogenes. It is a very dangerous bacteria; however, the incubation period is 3-70 days so it would not make you ill that same day. Additionally, while it is a risk, it is not a common occurrence, so don't worry too much about it! If you continue to feel poorly, contact a doctor again.
