Don't be afraid to call your doctor!
Two weeks ago I had a normal prenatal appointment with my doctor. However, I told him about some diarrhea I was having. He was concerned, but wanted to wait two days to see if it would continue before we did a stool sample. The stool sample was going to check for parasites. I never called back because my symptoms went away. That is until this past Sunday. I started to get a upset stomach, nausea (NOT like morning sickness), diarrhea, headaches. I tried to make my symptoms go away with over the counter meds. Nothing worked all through Monday. I was working this morning and I was not feeling well. I called the nurse and she immediately wanted me to do a stool sample. I completed it with the next two hours. They are checking for C-diff and ova/other parasites. DO NOT GOOGLE C-diff if you don't know what it is. It can be very scary!
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't ignore your body. Even if you think it's just a stomach virus or just a headache, but something is just off. Call your doctor. They don't care and they want to help even if it seems dumb to you. It might not be and you could really be helping yourself (and baby!) out.
