    Exclamation URGENT - dr now or later

    I've been vomiting and going to the toilet since 8 last night and haven't been able to keep down any water in that time. The last thing I ate was some plain chips about 11 yesterday morning
    It seems like just a gastro thing but i'm worried i'll become too dehydrated.
    Do i try and make an appointment as soon as they open this morning or ride it out a bit longer.
    I'm tired and feel gross

    Sunshine - I hope you feel better soon!

    I would probably see a doctor just for peace of mind, it's not going to hurt. Do you have a temp or anything like that?

    I would call your hospital. Chances are thy will want to put you on a drip just to get some fluids into you

    Best thing to do would be like everyone else has said and ring your midwives, they will prob only monitor you but better to be safe
