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!

Hun, I had a tummy bug 5 times when pg with DS2. It was the absolute pits, especially with a toddler to look after as well, but the baby was (and is!) just fine. No need to worry about that. Just do what you can to not get dehydrated, and if you do, let your carer know as they can arrange for you to go to hossy for a drip. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks guys, I feel heaps better now after your posts. I am glad though that I stayed home for a rest. I am looking forward to my next scan although it is a month away. But at the end of the month I will Dr and I hope he will listen for the heart beat, that will ease my mind even more.
