I had outside food yesterday and now my stomach is upset with loose motions. I am worried because I am 15 weeks and dont know if baby can get affected. I will call my doctor if it continues, but has anyone faced this?
Please take this seriously. Bad food poisoning with vomiting and dehydration can be risky in pregnancy. I got it once and my doctor wanted to see me right away to manage fluids. Dont try to ride it out alone, call your gynac.
Mostly the dehydration and weakness is whats concerning for you, which can affect baby if it gets severe. Keep sipping ORS and water, and if you cant keep anything down or have fever, see the doctor fast.
Beta for mild upset, plain rice, curd and lots of water helps settle the tummy. But if it is real food poisoning with fever and weakness, ghar ke nuskhe se kaam nahi chalega, doctor ke paas turant jao.
My doctor explained that the bigger worry is dehydration and certain infections, not just the upset stomach itself. She told me to come in immediately if there was high fever, blood, or non stop vomiting. So mild upset rest at home, but anything serious call them.
Try not to panic, a mild tummy upset usually passes with rest and fluids. But because you are pregnant, dont take chances with severe vomiting or fever, just ring your doctor and let them guide you.
