=)
im expecting my period in about..5 or 6 days and lately, i have just been getting an on and off headache but thas prolly from looking at the computer so much haha. mi boobs dont hurt and i dont have weird food cravings. i feel a little bloated but i think thats normal. should i take this as pms?
mi headache is a sinus one.
i have a teeny bit of nausea but im getting a prescription for a stomach acid problem so i think that is causing it
Answer
I think you pretty much answered your own question. The headache could be from too much computer or like you said...sinus. Make sure you always take precautions so you won't have to wonder in the future :)

Norovirus/Newborns/Pregnancy?

How dangerous would it be for the Norovirus to spread to a Maternity Hospital if it's very dangeous for the very young?
I'm due to give birth soon and I'm really worried about the welfare of my baby and myself. I'm already taking precautions and stocked up on my own food for my stay. I don't think there is enough emphasis on visitors to wash their hands with soap and water, not the antibacterial gel.
If I could give birth at home I would, but I'm high risk due to fluctuating blood pressure and my midwives have told me a big no. :-(

What are noroviruses?
Noroviruses are a group of viruses that cause the âstomach flu,â or gastroenteritis (GAS-tro-en-ter-I-tis), in people. The term norovirus was recently approved as the official name for this group of viruses. Several other names have been used for noroviruses, including:
* Norwalk-like viruses (NLVs)
* caliciviruses (because they belong to the virus family Caliciviridae)
* small round structured viruses.
Viruses are very different from bacteria and parasites, some of which can cause illnesses similar to norovirus infection. Like all viral infections, noroviruses are not affected by treatment with antibiotics, and cannot grow outside of a personâs body.
What are the symptoms of illness caused by noroviruses?
The symptoms of norovirus illness usually include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some stomach cramping. Sometimes people additionally have a low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness. The illness often begins suddenly, and the infected person may feel very sick. In most people the illness is self-limiting with symptoms lasting for about 1 or 2 days. In general, children experience more vomiting than adults. Most people with norovirus illness have both of these symptoms.

What is the name of the illness caused by noroviruses?
Illness caused by norovirus infection has several names, including:
* stomach flu â this âstomach fluâ is not related to the flu (or influenza), which is a respiratory illness caused by influenza virus.
* viral gastroenteritis â the most common name for illness caused by norovirus. Gastroenteritis refers to an inflammation of the stomach and intestines.
* acute gastroenteritis
* non-bacterial gastroenteritis
* food poisoning (although there are other causes of food poisoning)
* calicivirus infection
How serious is norovirus disease?
People may feel very sick and vomit many times a day, but most people get better within 1 or 2 days, and they have no long-term health effects related to their illness. However, sometimes people are unable to drink enough liquids to replace the liquids they lost because of vomiting and diarrhea. These persons can become dehydrated and may need special medical attention. This problem with dehydration is usually only seen among the very young, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.
How do people become infected with noroviruses?
Noroviruses are found in the stool or vomit of infected people. People can become infected with the virus in several ways, including:
* eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with norovirus;
* touching surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus, and then placing their hand in their mouth;
* having direct contact with another person who is infected and showing symptoms (for example, when caring for someone with illness, or sharing foods or eating utensils with someone who is ill).
Can norovirus infections be prevented?
You can decrease your chance of coming in contact with noroviruses by following these preventive steps:
* Frequently wash your hands, especially after toilet visits and changing diapers and before eating or preparing food.
* Carefully wash fruits and vegetables, and steam oysters before eating them.
* Thoroughly clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces immediately after an episode of illness by using a bleach-based household cleaner.
* Immediately remove and wash clothing or linens that may be contaminated with virus after an episode of illness (use hot water and soap).
* Flush or discard any vomitus and/or stool in the toilet and make sure that the surrounding area is kept clean.
Persons who are infected with norovirus should not prepare food while they have symptoms and for 3 days after they recover from their illness (see food handler information sheet). Food that may have been contaminated by an ill person should be disposed of properly.
