Stomach bug... 9 weeks +

[SunshineAndRainbows6]

Morning all,

Hoping someone could help, as the Internet scares the crap out of me with its answers and my partner freaks out and worry about us easily so isn't much help.... 😂

Was told last week at work that there was a stomach bug going around... Ending with us being 8 staff members down by Friday! I woke up Friday morning to a really funny tummy.... (Majorly Loose stools) sorry TMI!!!

I managed to get through work assuming it was because of hormones in early pregnancy etc... but found whatever I ate seemed to pass through me quite quick. This has carried on since and this morning my tummy was so bad that it was basically water... Sorry TMI.

Should I be worried? Should I call my out of hours number on my delivery notes?

Plus I'm stressing as I have my 'Glucose test' tomorrow and have to drink that awful energy drink before a blood test which probably isn't going to help my stomach 😩

Thanks in advance! 🙂

I’d definitely call your out of hours number for advice. I imagine all you can do is ride it out, but they might want you in to check you over.

Feel better soon!

Always best to get checked if worried and I'd probably try to delay your GTT test. If it helps though I'm now 25 weeks and have had 3 stomach bugs since getting pregnant and the one I had at 10 weeks was the most ill I can remember being. Sip dioralytes as much as you can to avoid dehydration.

Thanks so much for the reply ladies @balalalala @stephisaur! I called the triage number this morning who advised me to drink plenty to stay hydrated and cancel my appointment tomorrow, which my midwife agreed with! So it's a couple of days off work until it hopefully clears up on its own... 🙌🏻💪🏻

Seem to be extra panicky about illnesses now, I guess it's the new mummy to be kicking in 😂👏🏻🤰🏻

You'll be fine. I had d&v on Friday for the second time this pregnancy. Baby is well protected in there. Just replenish fluids when you can.
