Think you should should maybe see your Doc, incase you have an obstruction . Are you passing wind down the way? If so thats probably ok.

MissInvisible · 08/11/2007 11:32

today is the first imte ive bee able to pass wind without anything else (sorry) coming out, but it doesnt feel like wind, like im 'swollen' insode or something?

Phone your surgery and get an appt or at least a telephone consultation, it often takes a few days for everything to settle but better to be sure . Has anyone else in the family got it/ had it?

im a childminder it seems at least two of them have had it but no one thought to tell me, keeping my fingers crossed dd and dp not had it.

sounds similar to what i've just had, i started with it on friday evening and was up with v&d all night. haven't been sick since but have felt sick and the d continued. i had been trying to eat, didn't really feel like it but thought i should but it just wasn't getting any better so i stopped eating for 24 hours and just drank to give my tummy a rest and that seems to have worked. finally started to feel better and the d subsided yesterday, but its been 4 days of feeling sick, bloated, stomach cramps etc, not nice.

hope you feel better soon

MissInvisible · 08/11/2007 12:46

thanks Lucykate, it horrible isnt it, i havent had 'a lot' of sickness just feeling incredibly sick and then actualy v a handful of times but the D is worse, seem to be 'normal' now although tummy is aching like id expected it would with D, but didnt?..wonder if it IS wind?

You prob should not be c m at the mo , nor prepping and feeding children , until 24 hours clear of D&V.

fruitymum · 08/11/2007 15:43

meant to say prepping food

MissInvisible · 08/11/2007 18:38

i totally cancelled work tues and told all parents i was still ill wed morn, but they all kicked up such a fuss about leting them down etc etc, i gave in and packed myself full of imodium, i know that doesnt get rid of the bug, but im meticulous about washing hands and cleaning ( im known as being freakish abot cleaning things, the other cms on here knowand i didnt have much option..mindee whom came today also has bug, i told him mum i had it, said HE would HAVE to stay off if he caught it and she said fine!..when he got here.he already had it!

you need to look after yourself , if my cm said she was unwell I would make other arrangments. They took advantage of your good nature I think!

MissInvisible · 08/11/2007 20:38

yeah, i think you're right, need to sort out my assertivenes when im back to normal..feeling less sick tonight(hope im not speaking too soon) and can sit a bit more upright!?, when i press and squidge my stomach it pops and fizzes..maybe wind then?? and the fact ive not eaten for 5 days?

Hope you are feeling better today- have you seen the doc?
Its difficult to make arrangments for LO at short notice when you are working but hey ho thats part of being a parent, I bet they would have been mad if their kids had come down with it and you'd have felt even worse....

MissInvisible · 09/11/2007 13:22

Hi fruitymum, i feel ten times betetr today..bloating or whatever it is is easing, so didn go to doc's, little mindee was late anyway, so wouldnt have made it then back to nursery for collection, so good job..had some lovely crusty bread with bit of butter last night, it was delicious(first food in 6 days) and it stayed in!, dont feel sick today and not dizzy as much, had a good walk for fresh air with mindees and feeling much better...just hope no one else gets it and passes it back!..thanks for asking
