Food poisoning in early pregnancy?

[Splinters]

DH and I both had the same thing for lunch in a cafe, and neither of us liked it all that much. It was a vegetable crumble, peppers etc in a stilton sauce (which I chose because the NHS website says stilton is hard enough to be ok, and also it was cooked). I actually think it was something about the crumble topping that wasn't right, it was a pretty basic crumble topping, but actually horrible and the taste lingered in both of our mouths for hours afterwards.

It was absolutely piping hot, but both of us have upset stomachs now. Not chained to the toilet or anything, but very, uh loose. I am 6 weeks pg and a bit worried in case it could be the kind of food poisoning that could hurt the baby.. Please could you reassure me by telling me about all the kinds of food poisoning that doesn't cause further problems?

Of course, if I do need to be worried, you'd better tell me that too. Thanks.

I'm going to give you mixed messages... I don't think you need to worry, but I do think you should ring NHS Direct.

As long as you keep yourself hydrated then you should be fine. Obviously I'm not a doctor though. My DH and I got food poisoning from crayfish soup when I was about 14 weeks or so. It was hideous and we were utterly miserable but once all the bad stuff was out, we were much better and there were no untoward effects to baby.

The day I got my BFP my husband I spent all night puking and shitting. I was totally empty.

I'm up now waiting to give him a dream feed. :)

Nothing to worry about, at this stage.

Thank you.. we've both actually been completely fine since yesterday evening now (apart from the fact that I feel a bit useless because pg) so I'm thinking no lasting damage to any of the three of us.
