D&V at six weeks- shameless request for reassurance!

[dinosaurkisses]

V newly pregnant with dc2 and have come down this morning with a d&v bug that seems to be doing the rounds.

Feel like total crap, but more than that I’m a bit worried about the potential impact on baby- I know this isn’t 100% rational .

Has anyone got any reassuring stories for being ill in early pregnancy and things being ok? Or even better, some actual facts that will make me feel a bit better from my sick bed?

Same happened to me when I was in the early stages of pregnancy with DC2. I caught a stomach bug from DC1 & was really ill, couldn't even keep water down. I was very worried so called my GP who reassured me the baby wouldn't be affected at all.

Hope you feel better soon

Happened to me too when I was pregnant with dd2. Vomited for 4 days. Was horrendous. Had to keep drinking water to give me something to be sick with.

I was still breastfeeding dd1 and I was really worried about becoming dehydrated.

DH was working away from home mon-fri. It was awful.

Dd2 was fine. Our bodies are programmed to protect the baby. They get priority for nutrients etc over us.
