Norovirus without the D&V?!

So norovirus is going around my 6yo olds school (when is it not?) and he has taken us down one at a time since he started vomiting on Thursday. My partner had it Friday night and is loads better now, 2yo really struggling since Friday morning but 6yo genuinely was also LOADS better after 24 hours.

Anyway, I have been thinking when is it my turn? I am utterly terrified of being sick, Lord knows how I’ve had kids tbh because the morning sickness nearly killed me off. I was awake in the night feeling soooo sick, stomach churning and cramping and I thought oh great, this is it.

I somehow managed to not throw up and go back to sleep. Have woken up this morning however feeling like I’ve been hit by a train. I’m exhausted beyond words, head pounding and body aching really bad. But no sickness or diarrhoea? At least not yet.

Is that possible? If not am I actually lucky enough after 4 days to have avoided it? 🥴

I had the same. DD had it then DS. Both kids hospitalised as DD just kept being sick and DS is T1 diabetic. DH came down with it whilst we were still in hospital so they sent us home. Despite being around all of them and even sharing a room with DS, I didn’t have any symptoms except feeling nauseous and being exhausted. Dr said it can be like that sometimes. I prefer to think I have super powers!

Yes I get this when the kids have had a D&V bug. I feel fluey, knackered, and have no appetite. It’s like there are no real symptoms that you can say “I’m ill” but I know my body is fighting something. It’s happened three times I can remember when I’ve been waiting for the inevitable puking but it’s not happened and instead I just can’t get out of bed.

Hope you feel better soon!

Oh weird the same thing has just happened here. Both kids puked but I feel like I’ve had the flu or something instead.
