Great. :\

So, my nephew and my moms helper had the stomach flu, then my daughter and mom got the stomach flu and now I have the stomach flu. Not exactly what I wanted to deal with right now. I'm 36 weeks 1 day, is there anything I can do? All I want to do is sleep, but since it's only me and my daughter in the house for a few days I can't sleep until she does. I also don't feel like eating anything, but I know I need to. But what?

If you can't drink anything make sure to watch for dehydration. It can send you into labor, and is defiantly not good baby. Also, if you go a day or two or are worried I would call my doctor.

Aww that really suuucks to hear, hopfully it doesnt last long. If your not hungry try just having some homade soup with veggies and chicken or meat for protien , get lots of rest and get hot or cold towels to place on your forhead depending if your hot or cold. Get better soon

I had it bad too and just threw up a bunch. The beat thing to do is stay hydrated. I wasn't able to eat for a few days . I tried everything and it upset my stomach . so I had lots of fluids and rest when u can !! Watch your temp too.
