I am now 25.5 weeks pregnant, and in the passed 12 hours I have been blessed with a tummy bug that has had my vomitting and pooing (TMI:o) all night.

Now what can I do? Anything, besides ride it out??

Any tips advice welcome...

No idea hun, just rest and lots of water. I hope it goes away soon.

its probably gastro, its going around...keep ur fluids up! thats the most important thing. and keep in mind that if its been 12 hours already, its nearly over so just hang in there. I dont think there is much the doctor can do, except maybe give you some Maxilon for the nausea which i know is ok when ur preg cos sometimes they prescribe it for morning sickness. Might be worth a go. Also you could call nurse on call their number is 1300 60 60 24 i always call them when im sick and they always have useful suggestions.

Rowie, ring the Dr or chemist and ask them if you can take imodium.. I *think* it may be category B, but I'm not sure.. It'll stop the runs pretty quick if you're able to take it.. We had a similar bug here the other day.. I was on the toilet for days, and had the vomiting to go with it.. Not nice, worse when you're pregnant! Poor thing :hugs:

Thanks, I appear to be better today. Still somewhat tired and lethargic.

I was lucky DH came home from work, and looked after DD so I could sleep in peace!!!

Thanks...
