I'm super sick and I'm pretty positive it's food poisoning. We went out to dinner the other night and one of the ingredients in our appetizer was cotija cheese but it wasn't listed on the menu! Now I'm worried it's listeria. Did anyone else have it while pregnant? Were you treated for it or just let it pass? Any tips?

@HLK208: omg, you poor thing! you've been so sick already
please be very careful to stay hydrated. maybe call your OB and see if you should go get some fluids. hope you feel better soon!

Oh no! Food poisoning is the WORST!
Stay hydrated! It's hard to do with food poisoning. I'd definitely call your OB and ask what to do.

I did when I was in Mexico, at about 13-14 weeks. I thought I was going to die and/or have a miscarriage, cramping and contraction-y feelings and everything. But when I called my doctor, she said anything gastrointestinal is not going to affect the baby and just to drink lots of gatorade.
I'd say just keep hydrated and call the doctor just in case, but I'm sure you'll be just fine.

Sorry you're sick
I didn't but I would call your OB to be sure and, as pp have said, try stay hydrayted if you can. Hope you feel better soon!

I didn't get food poisoning, but I got Norwalk
It was horrid. I ended up going to the hospital in the middle of the night as I was freaked out because I was so violently ill and I was only 9 weeks. The Dr said it was fine and just drink lots. ( right. that's easy when you barf it up instantly.) Anyways, they gave me an injection of gravol and a prescription for some nausea pills ( like dilectin but stronger. ) Main thing is keep hydrated. If you start to worry that you're getting dehydrated it's important to go in incase you need IV fluids. Feel better, I hope it passes soon.

I had good poisoning at 17 weeks pregnant and went to the ER. I had been throwing up all day/night and my OB was conferned about dehydration. I was only at the hospital for a few hours but was much better by the time I left.
I hope you feel better soon! It's no fun

Oh no! I am so sorry! You just can't catch a break

I got campylobacter when I was 7 or 8 weeks from traveling in SE Asia. I just had to let it pass and got checked out when I returned to the US. Hope everything is ok!
-
Oh no!!
I had food poisoning at 36 weeks and I threw up several times. I went to L&D and they gave me a few bags of IV fluids.I hope you feel better!

I got a terrible stomach flu at 10 weeks and was hospitalized within 5 hours! If you're losing fluids quickly I would just head straight in. They rehydrate you and make you stop barfing and it feels like a miracle!

I don't know if it was food poisoning, something just not setting right in my stomach or a bug but I was throwing up every 5-10 minutes for hours. I finally went to the hospital and they gave me Zofran, IV fluids & checked on the baby. Definitely go in for fluids if you can't keep anything down.
-
Thanks, guys. I think I'm finally over the worst of it!
-
@HLK208: Glad you are feeling better!
-
Oh no! I'm glad you are feeling better though.
-
@HLK208: so glad you're feeling better and it wasn't serious!!
-
No!! That sucks
I had some food poisoning a couple times and it was awful! No harm done to either of us. Stay hydrated and try to rest. Hope it passes soon!
