Possible Food Poisoning when Pregnant please help

[Smithy92]

Good morning.

My partner is currently 6 weeks pregnant and were away in Poland for my birthday (booked way before even knowing we were pregnant).

She's unfortunately felt rough overnight and has been sick once and had diarrhea 3 times (both of which now stopped). We think it's from a dodgy piece of ham in a meal we ate last night (also consumed grapefruit juice if that's of any relevance).

Should we worry about the baby or seek instant medical help or would fluids just be best bet for now?

Thanks

I would just keep with the fluids and monitor things. If she gets worse again then seek medical advice

There's absolutely nothing to worry about in a very mild stomach upset, and nothing medicine can do for you anyway.

She will be fine.

Please don’t be taking advice from random people online. Food poisoning can be very serious during pregnancy and my Ob Gyn reiterated this many times before I travelled. Listeria infections during pregnancy can be treated with antibiotics to prevent infection of the baby. The generally accepted medical advice is to see a doctor.

Thanks all, in-laws back in UK are speaking to 111 on our behalf just to double check things. Obviously just a worry given its first Pregnancy and were abroad.

I hope everything is okay! Better to be safe than sorry as many viruses don’t affect the baby but it’s not worth the risk.

Hey @Smithy92 , just wondering what did 111 advise?
