I just got really sick 3 days ago from food poisoning. Voiting, nausea, diarrhea, fever, th works. I'm afraid because I'm 15 weeks pregnant :-(
I went to the doctor 2 days ago and got an ultrasound and he said everyhting seemed ok with the baby .
Anyway, do you have any good tips I can follow to feel better? What to eat or avoid?
Answer
When you get the flu when you are pregnant or food posioning the only way it effects your baby is if you let yourself get dehydrated. So it is very important to keep downing fluids. Other then that try not to worry the only one who is miserable or suffering is you.
Foods to avoid include: meats, fish and eggs that are not properly refrigerated; thaw foods in the refrigerater not on the counter and never let a thawed food get to room temperature; marinate foods in the fridge; eat only meats that have been thoroughly cooked; wash raw veggies thoroughly; avoid alfalfa and other sprouts they are often contaminated with bacteria; hot dogs, salami, bologna, cornedbeef all need to be heated to 165 degrees before eating even if precooked they can contaminated with listeria; and only drink or eat dairy and juices that are pasterized.
This is one heck of a long list but it is what many doctors reccomand when pregnant. Better to be safe than sorry.
Hope you feel better soon.

Food Poisoning or virus during pregnancy?
Nikki
I am 25 weeks pregnant and this evening I have had a sudden onset of nausea and stomach pain. I have not vomited so i'm not worried about dehydration, however I was curious if a stomach virus or food poisoning is harmful to the baby at this stage?
Answer
food poisoning can be harmful, but isnt always. some bacterias, like listeria, can cross the placenta and kill the baby. but most can not, and you just get sick.
