some fast moving stomach bug caught me... TMI

OH brother did i have the weekend... and I am still suffering the after effects.  I thought I was going to make it thru this whole pregnancy with out getting hemoroids cause I have been so good taking fiber etc... then... evidently a tummy bug got me... I have never in my life had an experience like this... and because it was coming out of the one end I thought it would be wise for me to keep up with as much water going in as was coming out... as a result by the end of the 5 hours of fun... the BM was actually clear, seemed almost straigh****er in and out...

I presume what ever it was... the baby was in danger with what ever in me... and I was a sort of a power dumping it out of me... Now I am greatful I had soft TP and prep H pads and continue to be so... now I am cramming down the Yogart to try to regain good bacteria in me... I called the Doc this AM and she said as long as I am hydrated and they baby is still wiggling not to worry... they are well protected... HOLY MOLY... I guess thats they payback I get for not having had morning sickness...

Anyone else have the flu or food poison during pregnancy?  It was scary and I suspect I will be fine after I get all the chicken broth and yogart in me... but what a mess.

I had a stomach flu for 3 days at about 18 weeks pg.  I was vomiting and had diarhea.  It was horrendous.  I couldn't keep any liquids down for the first 12 hours.  I actually didn't call the doctor because I am a member of another forum where the issue had been brought up so I knew the response was.  Assuming I had no fever and remained hydrated all would be fine. 

When we went to Yellowstone I got deathly sick just like that! I am not sure if it was a bug or altitude sickness. It got so bad that I did not have control over the issue when I was asleep so I would wake up in my own mess all the while camping! I was throwing up just about everything I ate and the rest came out the other end in the form of almost straigh****er. It was insane! My OB told me to just stop eating and drink 100 % fruit juice and gatoraid for 2 days and that did the trick. It was horrible to be in that state when you are camping and living out of a suitcase w/ out a shower near by!! I'm so glad you're feeling better now!

Sorry to hear what you went through... i know the feeling!

For me though I found all of a sudden that it was my prenatal vitamin giving me feeling of food poisoning... I added Lipil (DHA) to my body and all was gone. Whew!

So glad you're feeling better!!!!!!
