Can anyone tell me what you do when you get sick? This afternoon i was hit with a stomach bug i think and have had severe diarrhea and vomiting and can keep absolutly nothing down and im worried because i know if i get dehydrated i could go into premature labor. I have tried drinking almost everything(sprite, gatorade, pedialyte) Anyone have another suggestion? Im 28 weeks also

Kinda sounds like food poisoning. Might want to call the doc to see if there is anything you can take.

Gingerale... warm and shaken so its not bubbly try chicken broth like lipton soup ... luke warm water all very very slowly and maybe a cracker every half hour or so. Its always better to vomit food and not bile. Get well

Try popcicles too

I agree with trying popcicles if you can keep anything down for more than a day i would call your doctor they might wanna give u an iv to keep u hydrated. Hope you feel better

@luvn_my_babies try ice. That's the best way to stay hydrated when you can't keep anything else down. I got dehydrated a few weeks ago and the doc recommended sucking on ice.

I was sick with a bug at 13 weeks or so I was throwing everything up just keep trying to drink water so you throw up less bile I sucked on a lemon and it seemed to help out a bit and eventually I was able to eat saltine crackers ice helped with the soreness of my throat hope you are feeling better and def see doctor in morning if still sick I thought I would never get over it!
