D&V at 23 weeks + 6 - what are the risks?

[Flossbert]

I have picked up a D&V bug and have been unwell since last night. I am 24 weeks pregnant today. Does anyone know what risks there are to the baby? Should I be getting myself to the Early Assessment Unit? Baby moving lots, and if it makes any difference, I'm about 90% sure it's a bug, rather than food poisoning.

TIA

The only risk is dehydration it won't harm the baby in any other way. Just make sure you keep your fluids up- your baby will be fine!
Hope you feel better soon.

I had a stomach bug mid pregnancy too, it's strange because I never get them. Mine lasted about 12 hours violent d&v. I just let it run it's course my bump felt sore for days after. I also didn't bounce back after 24 hours I had to get to holland and barretts for some feroglobin tonic ( pick me up ) to restore the goodness I lost. You prob don't need to seek medical advice. Just make sure your drinking lots of water and resting. X

I had d & v big at a similar time when pregnant. I really did feel terrible but all was fine. Avoid dehydration, maybe have some rehydration salts. I wouldn't go to hospital unless the baby movements changed, d & v bugs are really not welcome at hospitals.
Poor you, rest & try & get some sleep. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks all. This really is the pits Will persevere with the diorlyte.

Hey, just what the others said really, loads of fluids, and rest rest rest! When you are asleep your body is heeling , hope you feel better soon x x
