Background:
my belly dance teacher is pregnant.
we have a gig on Saturday, for which we have a final rehearsal tonight.

OH woke up in the night (several times ) with D&V.

question to the MN jury: should I stay away from the rehearsal tonight?

i have not been ill.

i'm on the side of staying away, but am worried that i won't be rehearsed enough for Saturday, but obviously i don't want to be a carrier for the illness and pass it on to my teacher.

thanks!

nickelbabe,
I personally can't see any danger of you going to a dance rehearsal with pregnant woman unless you have d & V yourself, in which case I don't think you would be going!
D&V is not nice but not dangerous to pregnant women in the same way as chicken pox or rubella.
I wouldn't worry about it, and go, but keep your distance from her if that makes you feel better
