Upset stomach... worried

[bellainthemiddle]

Sorry to be asking advice about something so stupid, but I'm worrying and not sure what to do. I'm 32 weeks and have a horrible upset stomach - for the third time in the last two weeks! TMI warning - I started feeling yukky on the Underground going home and had to get off the train to throw up! And I've basically been sick every 20 minutes or so for the last 3 hours. I've got horrible stomach cramps and I'm just worried that all this being sick is not going to be very good for the baby at this stage :S

I'm probably being over-concerned and a bit of an idiot - it's just a stomach bug after all!

Best thing to do if you're worried is to phone the assessment unit to ask for advice. Hopefully, if it's come on really fast, it'll pass really quickly too.

The hospital will be able to give you advice on what to do and also whether you need to be seen - dehydration would probably be the biggest concern.

Hope you feel better soon, it's horrid dealing with that sort of thing anyway, let alone while growing a baby!

I would ring the midwife to put your mind at ease but I'm sure everything is fine.

I had really bad upset tummy for 11 days when pregnant not as far along though . They told me not to worry as the baby will take what it needs whether I'm sick or not.

My last 2 hospital admissions this preg have been down to upset tum. Main thing will be dehydration. Thats what got me, had to go in for fluids as unable to keep anything down. Try to keep drinking if you can.
I have kesosticks here at home so was able to check for ketones myself then ring my gp surgery. Hope you feel better soon.
