Ate something outside yesterday and ended up with bad loose motions and vomiting all night. Im 16 weeks and now panicking if it can harm the baby. Will call my doctor today but couldnt stop thinking about it, anyone been through this?
I got so scared when this happened to me, kept thinking the worst. Doctor said the body mostly protects the baby and to focus on hydration. Still she told me to come in if it didnt settle, so do that.
I got mild food poisoning in my second pregnancy. Lots of fluids, ORS, rest and it passed. But if it gets bad or you feel dizzy or cant keep water down, get checked, dont wait.
Keep sipping ORS or coconut water and rest properly, dont try to push through work. And one quick call to your doctor to be safe is worth it, takes 5 min.
If youre vomiting a lot or have loose motions with food poisoning, please call your gynac. The main worry is dehydration, and in pregnancy they like to keep an eye on that. Dont just tough it out.
