I feel awful! Have spent the past two days living in my bathroom (with my iPod to keep in touch with you guys!) can't stop being sick, can't keep food or water down and it's getting ridiculous now :( how long should I let it go on for before worrying, don't wanna get dehydrated. Should I ring the midwife in the morning if I'm no better???
:'(
 
Definitely contact someone if you can't even keep water down, cos that can't be good!!! Hope you feel better soon, although at least you can keep in contact with modern technology lol x
 
Are you feeling any better yet? you can get those dehydrated sachets from chemists, check they are ok for pregnancy over the counter, but they really should be salts and mineral replacements to get you going again
 
Thanks girls, feel a tiny bit better this morning have woken up really wanting a burger! I'm thinking if I'm craving food I might just be able to keep it down. Will start with a glass of water and see how I go, if it doesn't work will phone mw and go see chemist about those sachets x
 
i had a bug and couldnt keep anything down and i was just abot to ring midwife when i started keeing water down so i was alright but if u cant today i would ring xx
 
Might still be worth having a chat with the MW, especially as it is a bank holiday weekend.
 
Hun i would like countrybumpkin suggested ring midwife just to tell her what symptoms you had and have now...just to reassure urself and she may want to run some blood tests too...glad ur feeling better...plenty of fluids to keep urself hydrated!! :) xx
 
Don't leave it too long, I had that last weekend when we where on holiday in Brighton and after 2 days of not even being able to keep water down I ended up in hospital on a drip for 24h with dehydration. Hope you start feeling better soon!!
 
I've spoken to my midwife and she said to see how I get on today as I am feeling a bit better, and to give her a ring tomorrow to see how I'm getting on. She did mention if it doesn't get better today I would be going on a drip tomo :( good luck to the person that's gotta pin me down to get it in if I need it!!
Thanks for all your replies girls, you've been v helpful as usual :)
 
Well girls today I've managed to keep down about a litre of water and a sammich (haha robbed momma kat!) Still feel rough as dog though so still ent happy!! But must be getting better :)
