Food poisoning/stomach flu at 8 weeks. Worried about baby!?

mindblower

I am 8 weeks pregnant. I had a bad bout of vomiting two days ago but I thought that was nausea-related until the diarrhea started and had a slight fever at 100F. All the symptoms have now subsided butI am now sure that it was a case of food poisoning/stomach flu and now worried about the health of my baby since I read so much advice against having food poisoning in pregnancy esp. the first trimester. Has anyone had food poisoning during first trimester and successfully gave birth to a healthy baby?

Answer
Oh yeah, hate food poisoning, espeacially when your newley prego.. I was probably 10 weeks prego when i got the flu really bad, i could swear it was morning sickness except for all the other flu like symtoms... not fun times... I think as long as your fever didnt go over 103 your okay... I was at 102 degrees with the flu. 7-1/2 months later I had a happy and very healthy baby girl. Good luck!

PS I had food poisoning numerous times during that pregnancy and had it in all 3 trimesters, twice in my first!
I wouldnt worry too much.

Have you ever experienced this during your pregnancy?

I have not been feeling well for the past 24 hours. Yesterday I felt fine, my hubby and I went out to eat with some friends for a brunch, and then I went with one of my friends for pedicures! We grabbed some ice cream on the way back home. When we got back to her house I stayed and relaxed with her for a little while, seeing as how she is pregnant as well. I decided seeing as how we were going out with them later that night that I should get home and nap before going out. I did so, only to wake up running to the bathroom, I was sitting on the toilet and had both ends going at the same time. I figured maybe it was just something I ate. I started to get hungry so I made my self some Chicken noodle soup, I only ate half of it and was running to the bathroom again! I called the hospital and asked them if I should come in they said no, to take some tylonal and get some rest. And if anything got worse to call. Well it hasn't gotten any worse but I haven't vomited at all, and I just feel....
dizzy and nasaia (spelling?) I just don't feel right, I have slept all day, and I keep taking tylonal PM to help me sleep so that I don't feel this way anymore. Any sujestions as to what it is or could be? All your answers mean a great deal! Thanks

Yes i did eat out yesterday at a resturant I had apple-cinnamon pancakes and orange juice, and home fries, but i'm not the only one who had the orange juice and home fries, so maybe the pancakes?
Yes my dr. said it was okay to take Tylonal PM!

Answer
Could be food poisoning...it would take into effect about 8 hours after you have eaten the suspected item. As long as you aren't having any severe cramping or bleeding, then you are probably okay. I would call and speak with your doctor if you are still continuing on tomorrow. I would be concerned if you are having multiple episodes of diarrhea as well (gross I know), but you should contact your doctor as well if you are having more than 3 bouts of it. Good Luck, hope everything is well!
