Food Poisoning at 12 weeks Posted: 02-09-08 20:36pm
Has anyone read anything about the
likelihood of miscarriage or complications
from food poisoning while pregnant? All
I've read is that food poisoning is linked
to miscarriage and how to avoid it. Well,
I've been hit with it pretty badly - lost
4 lbs in 24 hours from severe vomiting and
diarrhea - so I can't exactly "avoid" it
at this point. I can still barely eat a
thing (48 hours on) and am concerned for
the well being of my baby. My boobs have
lost tenderness as well. Any thoughts?

if you do not have any severe abdominal
pain or any bleeding then I think you are
ok. I think the only serious risk you
would have is dehydration. Try to drink
lots of fluids and vitamins to replenish
the fluid and nutrients you have lost. If
the diarrhea continues and if you lose
more weight I would call your doctor.
but I think you should be ok. Sorry you
feel so bad. I had food poisoning last
year and it was horrible. I hope you are
feeling better soon

thank you for your comments. it's a lot to
deal with right now. the vomiting and
diarrhea seem to have subsided - i'm now
just deathly nauseous all day long (which
may or may not be pregnancy related). i've
had a few pretty bad cramps, but nothing
lasting too long, and no bleeding. so...
fingers crossed that everything will be
back to normal soon.
best to you.

hey sorry to hear that you are still
feeling so nausous. They say that by 3-5
months the morning sickness should go
away. But I have heard of women that had
morning sickness their entire pregnancy
and others never got sick.
I am 10 weeks and experience nausia all
day and I throw up every morning. I have
also had cramps on and off since 5 weeks.
The cramps are normal. Its just ypur body
adjusting to the baby growing. My hips
have started to get sore too. But as long
as there is no blood with the cramps then
its normal. As for your nausea that should
be going away but its hard to tell cause
every women is different.
