Losing that much weight is probably mostly fluid. You have got to drink water and stay hydrated. I had a horrible stomach virus early in pregnancy. I actually was drinking pedialyte for electrolytes and drinking water.  also got some ginger and it calmed my belly significantly. I ate bland foods, small quantities but as frequent as I could. I did not take any medication and it passed in almost four days. BUT if you get that bad, I would recommend going to the hospital. It can get bad enough to need IV fluids to replenish your body.

I have a midwife, I'm not sure if she is open to prescribe meds. And do you know any natural ways to fix this? And what are some signs of dehydration?

I'd call your doctor and see what they say, they can prescribe zofran for the vomiting and tell you what's safe for diharrea. You may be dehydrated and need an IV,

You need to let your doctor know about this because you could have extreme dehydration. But ginger has always helped settle my stomach!
