Hi all, just after a bit of advice?
Currently am 26 weeks pregnant with DS1 and on day 2 of a week's holiday in the Algarve (before bubba arrives and we can never leave the house again!).
Went out for a meal last night- I had monkfish and cooked prawns after checking on nhs website they were safe.
(Sorry if t.m.i from now on- don't read if you're squeamish).
Anyway somehow ended up with horrible and uncontrollable gut- wrenching sickness / bile / stomach lining (sorry!) and horrid dihorrea from midnight to about 4.30am. Basically once the poison was out of my system I stopped throwing up etc.
All day today I've rested and drunk pints and pints and pints of liquid, rehydration salts and had a bit of bland food which I've kept down fine and I'm feeling much better (just a little weak and tired).
My baby has been wriggling about like crazy (as he usually does- normal pattern of movement all day). I phoned my midwife at home who said I was in the best position to judge but that "a moving baby is a happy baby".
If I was at home I wouldn't be worried / wouldn't go to maternity triage etc/ wouldn't even phone my g.p but I think because I'm abroad my common sense is being skewed. I really don't want to sit in a foreign hospital for hours with nothing wrong but this baby is so longed-for and is my first pregnancy I would never forgive myself if I took an unnecessary risk.
Any advice gratefully received!
Thanks for reading...
