D&V bug :0(

[TettyLouBar]

Hi all,
I'm 39/40 with DC2 and have just had a horrible night with my head down the toilet vomiting, today I have stomach cramps and have been sat on the toilet frequently!! DD had really loose nappy last night and vomited 2 nights ago so I'm guessing its a bug working its way around the family.
I really don't feel like eating and the last time I had this a few months ago I really didn't eat very much for about 3-4 days afterwards.
Will this be damaging in to baby in final week before due date? I am trying to think of babes and have forced down toast this morning but I almost saw it again a little while after.
I know I should be building up my reserves for birth but feel dreadful

I had the worst D & V bug of my life when i was just pregnant. Gp said baby would take all it needed from me. I appreciate that your nearer the end but guessing it would be the same.

i was advised to go in if still vomiting after 12hours for antisickness jab but not to worry too much about dia.

Hope your feeling better soon. If your worried perhaps a call to midwife/gp just to reassure you.

Please don't worry, you're body will have enough reserves for baby whether you eat or not. For now, I would stick to clear fluids for 12 hours and give your tummy time to settle. A chat with GP will let you know anything else you can do

I was thinking that would be the case, baby always seems to cream the best of me off the top and I get the dreggs! Iron levels are in my boots etc!
I'm feeling a little better as the day drags on, atleast this bug didnt rear its ugly head once baby arrived!
Thanks for your replies.

Just bear in mind that some peoples early labour symptoms are D&V

oooh! now that I hadn't thought of! eeek!
