What should I do? Is my baby in danger?

Lots of people get food poisoning and it doesn't harm the pregnancy but it depends what food you ate and what the food poisoning bug is - you should speak to your doctor or midwife.

Hope you are ok

Are you having sickness and diarrhea etc? I read on here recently that it's not that sort of food poisoning that is a problem for the baby. Only thing is it's important to keep hydrated, so if you weren't able to keep water down for example, then you'd need to see the doc.

If in doubt though, call the GP - that's what they're there for!
