diarrhoea?

I'm 10 weeks and for past 6 weeks I've been having diarrhoea  3-4 times a day on top of vomiting. I'm so so weak I spent most the day in bed.  Feeling so miserable. Have been to hospital  twice but they just put me on a saline drip and send me home saying my dehydration level has not reached  a ' dangerous '  level yet so they can't do much more.

It's so hard to stay hydrated. I can't stomach most liquids - I just vomit straight away.  Only thing Im managing  are little bits of watermelon :(

I had diarrhea from 3-12 nonstop all day more than 5 bathroom trip within six hours. The best advice doctor gave me back then was stsy hydrated and rest. I felt like a stomache bug but doctors just said it was the pregnancy and couldnt give me any strong meds. Hope yours is over soon! If it gets worse id definitely update my doctor.

Hello,  I don't know if anyone had mentioned this to you before but diarrhea in pregnancy is usually caused by something you are eating or not eating. Do you have much dairy food in your diet?  The first 16 weeks of my pregnancy I developed a lactose intolerance which meant if I had more than a sip of milk or yogurts etc I got diarrhea for the next day. Best of luck!

Oops posted without finishing! Just wondered if anyone else is going through same thing? And anyway to stop the diarrhoea? We just moved country because of my hubbys job and I feel completely isolated. I have a 3yrold and I'm really struggling looking after her. Please any advise would be much appreciated!
