How to recover from D&V in the next 2 hours

[Emetoremedy]

Dh is leaving for work in 2 hours and I will have to look after my 10 month old myself. I have been unwell since 1am with D&V. Although I haven't had an episode of either since 6am I am feeling incredibly poorly in bed and think I must be missing something? Anything I can do to feel good enough to function?

Whenever I've had bugs like this before I've been fine from mid morning. But if I fall asleep I wake up within 5 mins with the room spinning and stomach up in my throat. If I get out of bed or even turn in bed too quickly I get heart palpitations and more nausea, and occasionally I have waves of bad stomach cramps.

I just want to cry now! I have been sipping fluids and am just having some juice now in case its a sugar issue. Anything else I should be doing?

Telling DH he needs to stay at home. Seriously, you're not fit to function.

Well your DH needs to take some time off work then. Like all parents do sometimes.

Meant to say - sorry you are so poorly and I hope you feel better soon. It's so hard when you are poorly with caring responsibilities.

Your DH takes time off work to look after the kids and you recover.

Yep, In this case you're unable to function so DH needs to take emergency leave to be a parent

Your DH needs to take the day off.

Thank you, it's not ideal but I don't think we'll have a choice. I kept hoping I'd magically get better but it's just not happening. I seem to be feeling even more faint despite the juice. I'm speaking to a GP shortly so hoping for some anti-emetics that can be used when breastfeeding.

I'm so bored and I miss my baby so much!

I don't think a GP will prescribe anti emetics for a d and v bug which hasn't even lasted 12 hours yet. Very impressed you can get a GP to speak to you on a Saturday by the way.

Juice is the last thing you need. Just water and I'm sure you'll start to feel better soon.
