Hi JDs Mum

You poor thing! Sounds awful.

I had gastro (both ends) last week and had a midwife's appt mid way through :P Her advice (and what i've read) was:

- as long as you keep weeing that's a good sign - at least every 6 hours and must be more than a trickle
- keep up fluids.
- Drink oral rehydrating salts after each loose movement - I used ORS brand, orange flavoured. I suggest you get some of these ASAP if not sooner. These salts are safe during pregnancy, but do ask your chemist if you purchase a different brand and they will check.
- if the runs persist for more than 48 hours see your doctor ASAP.
- if urine is only a trickle, is very dark yellow/brown, or if you feel really hot/dry, go to hospital immediately
- BRAT diet is good (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast)

So long as you keep hydrated, and follow guidelines, bub will be fine. Also keep an eye on your temp; about a day into it I got a low fever (37.5 deg) but a couple of panadol took care of that.

Get well soon!!
