Right... I've had a stomach bug (probably that pesky Norovirus) for four days now!! Four days!! The fevers/chills/aching limbs/thinking-I-might-die bit only lasted two days but the diarrhoea just keeps on coming. Sigh.

I spoke to my doctor on the telephone today and he advised me to take Immoduim. Immoduim is not recommended for use in pregnancy - but he said that the risk to the baby from the medication was slightly lower, in his opinion, than the risks associated with persistent diarrhoea - eg dehydration and pre-term labour. What????! Agh!

What would you do?? I'm drinking loads of water to prevent dehydration..... I really don't want to take anything that will harm the baby.... but I'm scared I will harm the baby by not taking it, too.....

ps - this is how we spell diarrhoea over here! lol.
