can you get gastroenteritis while pregnant? the answer for me is currently 4! i had it once while pregnant with charlie and in these short 18 weeks of carrying these girls i have had it 3 times!
the first time i was about 7 weeks pregnant (no clue i was having twins) and was staying in hudson over labor day weekend and was out of commission for 2 days.
the second time (the worst) i was about 13 weeks pregnant and with in 5 hours had lost every bit of fluid in my body and couldn't keep anything down. so i went into labor triage to have iv fluids so i could recover.
the third time, was yesterday morning, the morning bill and i were flying to florida for an ENT conference. charlie was sick with a stomach bug on thursday and i thought bill and i were in the clear....not so fast. i went to bed feeling sick (thought i ate too much pizza) and was up at 1 am puking. bill and i were both up at 4:30am to get ready to leave to catch our flight to florida and both were sick. as we were getting in the car, i ran back inside for one more puke session. then we prayed i would be able to keep fluids down so i could go on the trip. thankfully, my parents came and were staying with charlie because if he was supposed to go on this trip i would not have made it. by the grace of God, we didn't have any airplane accidents and got to our destination in tact. glad i have 2 days to relax here before going back on a plane.
i am hoping that was the last bug i have to deal with for this pregnancy.
I forgot you were going to FL, too! Hope you have a relaxing couple of days and that you are over the stomach bugs for a loooong time.
ReplyDeletedewd - that is the worst! i remember being sick on the way home for our wedding and the last place you want to be is on a plane. so so glad you made it to florida and can relax and have some good time with Bill!
