Vomiting virus

[heles7]

My OH has been up all night being sick. He's eaten exactly the same food as me and our guest since Friday evening so im fairly sure it's not food related. His parents have both had the virus but symptoms had long passed when he actually went to visit them.

As much as I hate him being poorly, I feel really guilty cos all I keep thinking is 'please god, don't let me get this'. Does anybody know anything about this and when the contagious time is? I'm supposed to see midwife later this morning and have been desperately waiting for the appointment to discuss home births but I know I should stay away if im carrying anything which could infect a whole load of vulnerable people.

Maybe give your midwife a call and see what she says about going in?
I know it is very contagious - but you can be ok if you do all the right things i.e wash your hands before touching food (which i'm suer you do normally) and be careful if you clean up after your OH - spray dettol or something on everything.

But yeh, i'd call your MW and see what she suggests. I've had the bug and it's horrible but you'll feel a lot worse than baby will! - though obv it'd be better if you avoided it all together!

My OH had the norovirus - starting feeling poorly on a Sunday night, and was clearly quite ill by the Monday. Early hours of Wednesday morning I had it too. He had a week off work and I was wiped out until the following week.

We'd tried being really careful with hygiene etc but I still got it.

I think if you're going to catch it then you'd know about it within 48hours or so.

Hope you escape it - its awful!

I had it last week. My mother and step dad were staying with me and the day after I started vomiting, my stepdad woke up with it so I'm guessing he caught it pretty quickly.

It is horrible, I hope you don't get it.

Hello

my hubby and parents had one over xmas, i went a bit mad on the old handwash and the stuff that you use, the gel, it worked, I did not get it and was very careful going near them
take precautions, if you get it just drink plenty of fluids, bub will be fine xxx
