    Food poisoning? 34 weeks pregnant.

    Ohhh myyy god. I think I have food poisoning. I had nachos this morning, and put some light sour cream on them when they were done. It smelled/tasted really weird, but I was craving them so badly, and plus I thought it might be my taste buds being odd. Well, now I feel nauseous, have thrown up, and have tummy cramps. I'm drinking lots of water, I assume that's all I can do? It won't affect Isla at all, will it?

    Grr, so angry at myself, stupid move! And now I'm feeling soooo sick

    Try and stay hydrated and if it gets bad go to the drs. Not much you can do, I had food salmonella poisoning at about 20 weeks. It was horrible but no problem for baby. I think it can become an issue if you get dehydrated though. Poor you. I hope your pelvic floors are bette than mine!!

    I had it with ds. As long as you stay hydrated you should be ok. I was so worried when it happened that I went to hospital where they put on the monitor for a while just to make sure ds was coping. If your concerned at all, just go in.

    Hope you feel better soon. Xx

    Shouldnt be a problem for the baby. Keep yourself hydrated and as long she is moving regularly all you can do is rest and keep drinking water. food poisoining is the worst.

    I had it at about 12 weeks for 24 hours. That was when I really needed Maxalon by then, and Gastrolyte.

    Oh wow. I'm not well. Staying very hydrated though. Lucky my number 1 craving through this pregnancy has been Powerade...I buy it in the 8 litre powder form because I love it so much. Makes my puke blue though, which there has been more of. I feel awful. DF is on his way home, had to cancel work. Isla is still moving away so things seem good there, just me feeling it...wahhh omg!
