Should I go get fluids from the E.R?

Question

So I’m 5 weeks and a few days and I am throwing up but still able to keep down water but no food, I know it’s supper important for the baby to have food so I wonder if I should go in and get something to help me stop puking or do you think everything will be fine?

Answer

My OBs said no need for ER unless you can’t keep anything (food or water) down for more than 24 hours. If you’re able to keep water down, you’re okay for now. Just take it easy and try a bland diet. The main concern is staying hydrated.

Answer

If you can keep down water, try Gatorade for the electrolytes. You might want to have your partner or someone grab several different flavors and see if there’s one that agrees with you best.

Answer

IV fluids are usually for if your dehydrated if you're able to keep down water then your okay and there is no need to go. The ER is for emergencies and there are so many people who are sick that I would be worried about catching something. I was sick with both my pregnancies. I weighed less at 9months with my first and only gained 2lbs with my second. I just called my dr and he prescribed me something.

Answer

Everything will be fine. I didn’t keep a single thing I ate down for the first 3 months of my first pregnancy and my baby was and is perfectly healthy

Answer

I would make an appointment with a doctor for as soon as you can but no need to go to ER if you can keep water down. You can also call an on call doctor to see what they say!!

Answer

I would speak to your doctor and see what they suggest, they will be able to give you medication to help the vomiting. Try to avoid the ER unless absolutely necessary in pregnancy because you never know what you can pick up there. I had to go at 6 weeks due to severe food poisoning with vomiting and diarrhea, couldn't keep any water down and was getting very dehydrated. They gave me fluids to help the dehydration but having everyone coughing and spluttering around me for hours was worrying!
