stomach flu :(

[Anonymous]

Ugh, my 3 year old gave me a stomach bug and it sucks!!! The baby has been kicking non stop and putting a lot of pressure on my bowels and I am just so uncomfortable. Any tips other than just pedialyte/gatorade/rest?

I had this beginning of my second tri. My dr. prescribed zofran to stop the vomiting. But otherwise just said rest, and gatorade.

How many weeks are you? My very pregnant coworker ended up getting admitted overnight for IV rehydration at 32 weeks after a bout with the stomach bug. She didn't realize how dehydrated she was and couldn't feel contractions b/c she was so nauseated and her stomach cramps from the diarrhea. Might be worth a call to your OB just to check in.

OP here, I'm 26 weeks. I think it must have been an 18 hour thing - started last night and lasted until this morning. I've been drinking gatorade and water all day, and just had my first "solids" (a banana), so I'm not worried about dehydration. Thank you though!
