    Thanks Mel, Wow how are you feeling? What do you do all day, stay close to home etc? How long will they leave you before they give you assistance? Is baby engaged?

    I can go over 10 to 14 days then we start talking another c-section. I stay at home but only because I have the monster to take care of too. And nope, baby is not engaged.

    Hope you are feeling better today. I know what its like to be vomiting and have the poo poos all too well!!!!
    (I had them at 8 weeks, 14 weeks, 26 weeks, 34 weeks and 38 weeks.. at least I'm consistent... )

    Yep everything should be fine - the dr told me that when I had gastro (and nasty cramps every 15minutes!) the most important thing was to keep your fluids up so as not to dehydrate the baby. The pains are shocking aren't they? I took it easy until they had subsided, then went back to normal but couldn't feel the baby moving much after that gastro bout. Then I had my scan today and it turns out the lack of movement (or me feeling it) is due to the placenta being in front and that it is unlikely the gastro would have harmed my baby. She is perfectly healthy in every way!
