Should I call midwife?

I am 17 weeks with no. 2 and feel like crap. I didn't get bad morning sickness, just nausea, but have had really bad stomach cramps as well as the runs and have no appetite at all. I also have the hot and colds and feel sick periodically.

DH has a stinky cold and DD has a chest infection, and she threw up on Saturday night for reasons unknown (not coughing as I was with her).

Should I call midwife or have I just got a bad bug?
I am not due to see her for 11 weeks but have a scan in 3 weeks.

11 weeks? Are you not seeing her every 4? Doens't hurt to give her a call x

Sounds like a bug.
Have you taken your temp?

i think cramps and hot and cold merits a call to the doctor to be seen today tbh - i'm a fan of can't be too careful, but don't panic either - bad for baby!

The mum's at playgroup have all said to see her, and I feel crap, but I am notreally worried, maybe I should be?

Quootie - The new maternity guidelines here mean I see a midwife at 10, 16, 28 and 36 weeks, plus a scan at 20 weeks, it's very odd considering with DD1 a year ago I saw her every month!

Shall take temp and give her a ring now.

you only see a MW that little? Is this the same with all pregnancies or because this isn't your first?
I think thats terrible - give her a call, it cant hurt

I thought it was odd but apparently it is what they do with all pregnancies now around here (South Wales)
Called her anyway, she said that as long as it isn't constant (it comes in waves every 4 or 5 hours) and I am keeping fluids down then not to worry as she thinks it is a bug going round.
She said to call docs tomorrow if I have another crappy night but at least its put my mind at rest now everyone else has got me all panicked!
