Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053097 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:19:38 +0000 blackbird 2053097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: haha! Sounds like someone owes you some cookies! I feel like I've been inundated with food photos and I can't handle them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053095 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:18:34 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2053095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'm still pissed about the Christmas cookies I didn't get to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053091 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:14:22 +0000 blackbird 2053091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: omg I bet you were praying you didn't go into labor! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053078 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:00:28 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2053078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it at 39 weeks. And then would have contractions after....awful. It lasted three days spread over Christmas.<br /> I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.<br /> Hope you're feeling better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053070 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 19:48:38 +0000 travelgirl1 2053070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: oh no! That seriously sucks. I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053067 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 19:45:39 +0000 blackbird 2053067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I do not want it to last that long!!!</p> <p>I guess I know now why I wasn't feeling well yet-I am experiencing a second round of symptoms tonight. Awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053063 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 19:39:58 +0000 Rockies11 2053063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had TWO this pregnancy, hospitalized for fluids for both. The latest one kept my daughter down for 12 hours, didn't even effect my husband, and I had it and its aftermath for 2 weeks! GI bugs are WAY worse for me when I am pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053056 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 19:30:53 +0000 Torchwood 2053056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy is hard on the immune system, so it makes sense that it would take a little longer to be able to fight it off. Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053047 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 19:13:51 +0000 ineebee 2053047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got over one. It lasted six days. The first two were the worst and I shouldn't have been out of bed, but the last four days I could function like normal except for when I went to the bathroom. I drank Gatorade like crazy, and everything ended up fine. I don't usually get these bugs, so I don't know how long they usually last. But yeah, I can imagine that a bug would knock you out more during pregnancy because the baby is taking all the very little nutrition you're getting while you're sick. :( Sorry and I hope it turns around for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2053003 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:44:20 +0000 PinkElephant 2053003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it once in each pregnancy - the first time I ended up in the hospital (mainly because I was really scared about hydration) and the second I didnt, but I felt like I was dying. Definitely felt hit worse than when I get a bug not pregnant.</p> <p>Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2052959 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:09:09 +0000 blackbird 2052959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: @travelgirl1: ok good, I was hoping I would hear from people saying it knocked them on their ass more than usual. Even my husband is wondering why I'm still down for the count (he had me call the OB today). I can take more time off for sure. The light headedness and dizzy and spinning in general is so weird for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2052948 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:03:32 +0000 travelgirl1 2052948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I has one at new year, I was 13 weeks I think, and it was horrendous. But after three full days I was okay again, or at least back to regular MS. Can you take say off to rest? Sounds like you need some recovery time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2052943 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:01:26 +0000 mrsjyw 2052943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a gi bug at the start of the year at the tail end of first trimester. I literally could not move out of bed for 24 hours aside from the bathroom, it took a few days on top of that to get back to somewhat normal, which was still ms/nausea and fatigue. Ugh hugs hope it passes soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gi-bugs-and-pregnancy#post-2052940 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 17:56:27 +0000 blackbird 2052940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bug on Sunday and I STILL feel like shit. Usually these things are 12 hours long and then I feel fine. I left work early today-broke out in a serious sweat and needed to get home and lay down. I feel light headed and dizzy and sick every time I get up. I called my OB and their main concern is hydration, and I'm keeping liquids down. I know my husband is exhausted doing EVERYTHING right now :(</p> <p>Did you feel like it took you longer to recover because you were pregnant? I'm just shocked it's still lingering!!! </p>
