really bad food poisoning, 19 weeks, should I be worried?

[Gemzooks]

OK, I know it was stupid but yesterday I finished off a very small piece of unpasteurised cheese for lunch. only about 20 grammes.. This is second pg and with DS I regularly ate that kind of stuff with no probs, However this cheese had passed its use by date and I just didn't notice.

By 6 pm I was feeling terrible, and then threw up/had diarrhoea all evening and in the night. Today haven't thrown up and having toast/fluids but feel totally wiped out.

My main fear is I could have listeriosis, but read on the internet that if you have that, you don't throw up but instead have a temperature and flu-like symptoms, and that if you have other kinds of stomach bugs it can't cross the placenta.

Anyone had similar?

bump?

Nope but it's probably worth getting in touch with your local maternity hospital or NHS 24 to get checked out.

Hope you feel better soon

If it is listeriosis you'll probably be on the local news. It is very rare - still get it checked out for your peace of mind. I am sure I read someone that you are much more likely to get listeriosis from lettuce than unpasteurised cheese.

somewhere

thanks! quite reassuring.. I had some rice and Coke and feel a bit better (though still really bad).. I will phone the midwife on Monday (I'm in Holland and you have to contact your midwife).. hopefully be ok by then,
