Possible Food Poisoning

[CJ1990]

Hi Ladies,
Just after some advise. I’m worried I’ve got food poisoning :( currently 16 weeks pregnant. I can’t think what it could be that I’ve eaten as nothing stands out...but my stomachs super off and feel really dodgey..Not the usual pregnancy off if you know what I meant. I don’t particularly want to bother the midwife, but I know food poisoning isn’t good to have when pregnant! Worrying about baby. Just wondering if I should wait it out first and see if it gets any worse? :( x

I had a really crappy sickness bug a few weeks ago and was really poorly in bed with it. I just drank tons of water and baby was fine. Not sure in regards to food poisoning though, I guess it would depend on the type of bacteria if it was. I've had a lot of tummy 'upsets' during this pregnancy causing bouts of diarrhoea which I'm guessing is largely down to hormones.

Keep hydrated, eat what you can and ring the GP for advice if it lasts more than a 24/48 he bug. Your midwife won’t be particularly helpful unless it’s a specifically pregnancy related concern.

Thank you :)
