At what point would you go into ER?

Question

I caught a stomach virus and I am violently sick. I haven’t felt this awful while sick in a long time. I have thrown up over 20 times and heaved a lot in between. I can’t get any fluids down at all they almost instantly come right up. I can tell I’m dehydrated my mouth and lips are so dry and I’m so thirsty but can’t drink. 
Will bring dehydrated for the past 24-48 hours affect the baby. Should I go get IV fluids ?

Answer

I’d say if you’re at 24 hours without keeping anything down, go in. I’m generally very anti-ER, but this does sound like what the ER is there for. Good luck.

Answer

I had this about two weeks ago and my doctor advised if I was vomiting for 24 hours to go to the ER. Around 12 hours i was able to keep some Gatorade down and get some rest

Answer

I had this while pregnant and they gave me some awesome anti nausea and vomiting meds and I was able to eat and drink right after it was amazing! Definitely go! You’ll feel much better.

Answer

At least go to get some IV fluids. Dehydration also leads to kidney stones. Not something anyone wants to deal with, especially while pregnant.

Answer

My midwife told me the one thing related to throwing up that brings danger to your baby at this point is being dehydrated because the amniotic fluid relies on your body to stay full with liquid. She said the amniotic fluid can begin to deplete if you’re dehydrated and that’s not good. I’d go in! You sound miserable. You definitely need some IVs!
