Is this gastro? TMI

I've never had it before, believe it it not!

I've had a mild cold since Thursday, mainly sore throat and runny nose. At the point where it's either going to get better or worse.

Last night I started getting stomach pains - the ones that say go to the toilet NOW! Went to the loo and it was liquid. About seven times in the course of four hours. No pain in stomach today and haven't felt like I need to go to the loo either.

Woke up this morning feeling off. Have had a busy morning out and about. Got home and had leftover spaghetti for lunch. Started to feel really unwell. In the past 10 minutes, I've thrown up twice but both times it's been nothing much.

Is this what gastro is and I need to ride it out? Haven't seen anyone other than DH up until last night and he hasn't been sick so not sure where this has come from. Symptoms of pre labour? Still a few weeks to go though.

It could very well be Gastro, but could it also be something you ate on Thursday or early Friday??

I had the runs all day yesterday. Every time I ate or drank something I was back on the loo. I'm putting it down to a chicken and vegetable pie that I had from a small bakery on Thursday.

I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary. Plus DH and DD have had the same food I have and they're both okay.

Hope you feel better soon too Kat.

hmmm...with gastro ive always had nasty tummy cramps as well. maybe a mild dose?

Sounds like gastro specially with vomiting.
But my pre labour was quite the same was worst with DS1 couldn't go anywhere as I needed the loo and lasted over a month. With DS2 it started again was in tears (can't give birth naturally) so ob decided to get him out early (he was almost 9lb with 10 days to go!) when each of them born the symptoms vanished! Ds3 none (but he was teeny!) except I got contractions very badly before scheduled c section.
I hope you are feeling better soon xxx

I dunno but I don't think you had proper food poisoning type gastro. I had severe gastro on Thursday night where I was up vomiting and sitting on the toilet at least once an hour. Every time I moved my head off the pillow I would need to bolt to the loo. I dry heaved any water I tried to keep down. It lasted 12 hours then I started feeling mildly better once I could keep liquids down. I didn't eat for the next 24 hours and only have been able to stomach small plain meals.

Maybe something didn't agree with you? Hope you're feeling better now? :)

I had a two hour nap after I posted, and I've been able to keep food down. Still feeling very average but hopefully it'll clear off now. Thanks ladies.

Feeling a bit better today. Kept dinner down last night. Slept from midnight to about 8 and then flaked for another hour. So it seems I'm just back to this head cold. Whatever it was wasn't nice. Thanks for checking on me xo

Sounds like gastro... Comes in many shapes and sizes. You will need plenty of rest to get back to feeling better... It doesn't last for long usually but it can really knock you about.
