stomach virus while pregnant
I'm 12 weeks pregnant and I believe I've caught the stomach virus. Should I go to the doctor or just let it past? Will my baby be affected in any way?
Im sorry about whats happening to u but its been going around were i am and the longest someone has had was only two days feel better ! :(

Hi and thanks for using the forum.
That stomach virus really stinks, and then to be pregnant too!! You poor thing. Anyway, the good news about the stomach virus is that it is fairly short. Give yourself a day or so and don't worry too much about eating. DO try to stay hydrated by drinking water or whatever you like to drink. IF the virus persists for more than a few days, then call your ob/gyn. Otherwise, just let it run its course. Good luck (and congratulations!)
