I am 5 weeks and had loose motions with stomach pain since yesterday. I am able to drink water but worried about baby because it is so early. Should I check with gynac if it doesn't settle?
A normal stomach bug usually passes, but the real concern is dehydration, especially early on. If u cant keep fluids down, have high fever or vomiting that wont stop, pls see ur doctor quickly. I ended up needing fluids once, dont take it lightly.
I panicked so much when I got a stomach bug at 7 weeks, kept googling everything. My doctor reassured me the baby is fine as long as I stay hydrated and dont get too weak. Try not to spiral like I did, but do call ur doc if it's bad.
Beta for a mild upset stomach, light food like khichdi, banana and plenty of fluids works. But if there's fever or u feel very weak and dizzy, dont rely on home stuff, go to the doctor. In pregnancy we cant take chances with dehydration.
Most stomach bugs dont harm the baby directly, the baby is well protected. The main thing is keep urself hydrated, small sips of water, ORS, coconut water. Rest a lot. But dont take any random medicine for it, check with ur gynac first.
