    Can you eat Popsicles? Pedialyte makes them for kids. Can someone get you those?

    Drink water. I know you said it makes you sick but try to drink little sips at a time. You definitely have to get something into you or you will end up needing an IV

    Well even if anyone could get here with the snow I have no friends n my grandparents who live in the area are scared of snow....so I'm stuck with what I have here......witamin water,milk,crystal light,orange juice,tap water,or cranberry peach juice

    If it gets bad enough you can call an ambulance... idk? I had the same thing with my last pregnancy and ended up in the hospital with an iv. Wish I knew what to say... I guess keep drinking water slowly? Hope you feel better:)

    And if it does get to the point where you get really worried and still cant leave, dont hesitate to call an ambulence.

    The vitamin water and tap water will probably be the easiest on your stomach ...

    @mymomsanangel freeze some juice and eat it like a slushy. It will be easier than drinking.
  • mymomsanangelmymomsanangel

    pinch your skin on your forarm. If the color goes right back to normal you're not dehydrated. Another sign is headaches and dizziness.

    you go when you feel the need i had this with my 1st pregnancy and ended up in the hospital with i.vs and medicine for my stomache
  • katlillykatlilly
    Dehydration leads to vomiting, its a vicious circle, so if you start to vomit or get dizzy you need to call someone. Call the doc and see what they say.
    Good luck hun! Hope you feel better! :(

    Drink Propel or gatorade. You need the electrolytes and water won't give that to you. I had a stomach virus with my last pregnancy and was throwing up.

    Take half of a immodium to chill out the diahrrea. That's what the doctor told me when I got the stomach flu at 7 weeks.
  • mymomsanangelmymomsanangel
    I only have childrens immodium....can't get to store to buyanythin

    I went to the er when I started having very painful cramps. They were about every 5 mins. Not saying you have to wait for them to be that often. But cramps is definitely a sign. If you call 911 they may or may not send an ambulence. You and the dispatcher will figure that out. Don't hesitate to call if you feel you need to:)

    Drink everything at room temperature. Anything to hot or cold will upset ur tummy even more and try and eat crackers or bread just to get sonthing in there so ur not just pooping water. This us what my Mommy told me to do it helped me. I hope it helps you
  • mymomsanangelmymomsanangel

    I hve the same thing right now but last night I was on the toilet with "D" & throwing up in the tub at the same time. it went on for 6 hrs straight.. I was finally able to swallow some water & everytime I threw up after that ( about 4 times ) I drank a mug of water & laid dwn. the "D" stoppd finally the last 4 times I threw up.. this afternoon I sipped a tiny bit of juice & have been eating ice, seems to be working so far. hope you feel better, this bug is nasty..! ):
  • mymomsanangelmymomsanangel
    Thanks luckily I didn't throw up at all but didn't wanna drink cause I felt so nasuos so I had to froce myself to drink every hour cause dehydration can cause preterm labor or misscarraige so I was tryin my hardest to keep it down but if I wasn't peeing I was luquid d wording lost 5 pounds but was thirsty as hell ice didn't work but sounds weird I put snow in my cups n it worked didn't have to chew it but kept everything really cold.......god knows I have plenty of snow here nice n fresh 5 inches dropped yesterday

    I also had a stomach virus while pregnant it was the absolute worst feeling ever!! Everything I ate came right up I could only sleep for like an hour then would have to use the restroom I drank plenty of water though and the only thing I could eat was grapes that actually stayed down
