Stomach while pregnant?

Question

Hey mamas. Any other moms have the stomach flu while pregnant? I haven’t had the stomach flu since 4th grade. I am 18 weeks pregnant. This is absolutely horrible. Anything I can do to make sure baby and myself stay ok? Other than staying hydrated. It started about 11pm tonight. 😕

Answer

Just had it with my daughter last week. Rest and trying to stay hydrated is the only thing I could do. Saw baby yesterday for my scheduled anatomy scan and all was well! Prayers you feel better soon!

Answer

You should be better in about 24 hours. I had it a few weeks ago and it was NO JOKE! I was able to eat Apple sauce and Pedialyte pops. I got a low grade fever and was told I could take something, but just know a temperatures job is to kill the virus in your body (viruses can survive when you have a temperature) So as long as it doesn't get high, it's a good thing. Feel better soon.

Answer

If by stomach flu you mean the norovirus, then yes. I had it with my husband for 24 hours and it was hell. I tried everything I could to keep drinking water and stay hydrated. I felt much better 2 days later. I hope you feel better soon! I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, especially a pregnant person.

Answer

Me! I had it for about 48 hours. Went to the ER and they gave me zofran and kept me til they were sure I could keep down liquids. It was a rough few days, but I got better. Try to sip some Gatorade if you can.

Answer
