It might have just been a bit of a tummy bug, enough to make you feel terrible.

I thought I'd had food poisoning before, until that happened! It was terrible. Took me by suprise and I was down for days with it... Probably took a whole 2 weeks before I was feeling fine and eating properly again, although being pregnant would have slowed that down.

We are on town water but I still boil it and chill it in fridge, so much nicer to drink!

Glad your feeling better, it's not nice being sick at all ]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:17:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945588&title=food-poisoning#945588 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945573&title=food-poisoning#945573 Author: Treen

That sounds terrible, HB. But I've heard that about food poisoning. That's why I'm not 100% sure that's what it really was as apart from violent vomiting, I had no other symptoms. I've come completely right now. ]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:06:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945573&title=food-poisoning#945573 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945505&title=food-poisoning#945505 Author: Hunnybunny

When I had food poisoning (right after I fell pregnant) I felt terrible! I got DH and our flatmate doing many trips for powerades and lucozade, I found them brilliant. Lucozade was the best (it tasted the same the second time I saw it ) and they were the two things that definately made me feel better!!

Apparantely it has something to do with helping replace the electrolytes, even if you can hold it down for a few minutes it'll make a huge difference! So I definately recommend lucozade- I always have a stash of it in the cupboard now!

I was really bad though, sitting on the toilet with the bucket going (ever heard of brandy snapping? hehe ) And I even had the sweats real bad.. Had DH and the flatmate looking after me, if it wasn't for them (flatmate even took day off work when DH had to go to work that day) I dunno how I would have coped!!]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:14:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945505&title=food-poisoning#945505 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945453&title=food-poisoning#945453 Author: Treen

Yeah, thanks T-Rex. I think I'll have to give that a go as I keep running out of bottled water and it's expensive!]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:38:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945453&title=food-poisoning#945453 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945286&title=food-poisoning#945286 Author: T_Rex

That sounds awful, you poor thing.

Just wanted to say re the tank water, if you do want to drink it, it would be fine boiled. My mum used to boil up a big pot of water when she did dinner every night, and keep that in jugs in the fridge for the next day. ]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:38:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945286&title=food-poisoning#945286 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945082&title=food-poisoning#945082 Author: Treen

Thanks guys. Buzzy, it might have been left over roast chicken. But I nuked the heck out of it so it should've been alright. Our neighbour reckons it could've been the water – we've just moved into a rental property with tank water and even though it goes through 3 filters, he reckons it's still filled with bugs. I've stopped drinking it just in case!

Vomiting has now stopped and I feel almost 100% again so maybe I did have that bug, WRX. I was at the Pakuranga shops and at the airport on Thursday so I was definitely around a lot of crowds that day.]]> Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:24:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=945082&title=food-poisoning#945082 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=944956&title=food-poisoning#944956 Author: BuzzyB

Oh you poor thing

I've just ahd a tummy bug that DS helpfully brought home from creche. Dr stressed getting enough fluids and also taking Hydralite or Gastrolyte to help replace lost salts. He said not to worry about trying to eat anything till I felt like it as baby would be fine for a few days with whatever stores I had. If you're not able to keep fluids down or you're still vommiting after 24 hours I'd go to the hospital as they'll probably want to put you on a drip to get some fluids into you (I had to have that last year when I was BF and when you also need extra fluids - it makes you feel HEAPS better!).

Do you know what you ate to cause the food poisoning? Different bugs can affect babies in different ways.

Really hope you feel better very soon!]]> Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:00:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=944956&title=food-poisoning#944956 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=943781&title=food-poisoning#943781 Author: WRXnKids

There is a tummy bug going around AKL both Freesia and Arohanui have ended up in a&e with it getting fluids.

I dunno how long you should wait but if you arent keeping anything down and getting worried i would head to the docs they might be able to prescribe something that will take the edge of it at least.]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:03:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=943781&title=food-poisoning#943781 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=943724&title=food-poisoning#943724 Author: X

Treen I don't really have any advice but just wanted to give you a big hug . It must be awful having food poisoning while pregnant. Hope it goes away soon. ]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:48:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=943724&title=food-poisoning#943724 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=943720&title=food-poisoning#943720 Author: Treen

Hi girls, I can never figure out how to search the forums for old topics. I'm trying to find some information on food poisioning during pregnancy.

I threw up 5 times yesterday then once again this morning at 5am (only stomach bile left by that stage). They've been very violent episodes and I feel dizzy and faint while they're happening. But apart from the vomiting, I have no other symptoms so I can't pinpoint what it could be.

Urgh, I just threw up again while writing this.

I had one episode of diarreha yesterday morning, but nothing since. Baby is still moving so I'm not extremely worried about it but I do like to research stuff and know what's going on. I just called my MW who gave me some tips on trying to keep fluids down and told me that it should pass but if it doesn't, to go to the doctor's. I stupidly didn't ask her how long I should wait before doing this. Another 24 hours, perhaps? Anyone know? ]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:41:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31765&PID=943720&title=food-poisoning#943720
