Anyone else with recurring sickness and diarrhoea?

Not sure why but it's my sixth in less than a month. I get it really bad each time, lasting from 6 - 48 hours each time. I then recover and feel completely normal again, before getting hit by it again in a few days time. The cramps are excruciating each time and baby seems very bothered by it each time. This last one I'm having, the baby was already going crazy before I even realised that I was going to be ill and true enough 2 hours later cramps/vomit/diarrhoea started. Around 33 weeks pregnant now and really worried.

Go to your gp, you may have a recurring infection. You need to get tested as soon as possible.

Hi,
Don't know if this will reassure you or not, but I think there are a LOT of sickness bugs around at the moment, and maybe you've just been really unlucky and caught them over and over again. I had sickness bug last week and baby was going crazy the whole time was ill, I was so exhausted afterwards and baby was quiet too for a while after all that activity. Might be worth getting checked out by doc tho, especially if you're worried.

I have had a couple of bouts of diarrhoea (although you sound much further on than me) but all my recent sickness has been bog standard morning sickness.

I think mine is soemthing called travellers diarrhoea - it always coincided with me spending longer than usual in the car. The cramps were painful but not as bad as you're describing.

I would see your doctor in case you have a stomach bug.

Thank you for sharing.

Went to the hospital yesterday as GP was shut and told to bring a sample of stool back to GP for tests. So guess I'll have to do that. Not looking forward to doing that as I'm normally severely constipated or the other extreme with the tummy bug.

Was hoping someone has had similar experience before and had some sort of diagnosis or cure for it that I could try.

Perhaps you're right, I've just been really unlucky and keep catching the bugs.
