Food Poisoning

I think I have food poisoning. I ate earlier and felt nauseous, and got a really bad headache. I took a nap and still feel the same. Is there anything I can take for this? I feel like crap

Thanks ktowne. I have no idea what it was. I ate soup last night, and started feeling better. Now I'm perfectly fine.

If you think you may have food poisoning you need to see a doctor asap. Listeria can be from meats, veggies, or dairy and can cause serious complications with your pregnancy and baby. You'll have to take a strong course of antibiotics if you do have this, so it's best to get checked asap. Here's a website to check out.

Yeah, it just doesn't feel like a pregnancy symptom. It's a food poisoning symptom. You know? Lol

If your not throwing up or having diarrhea by now it's probably not poisoning / bug, of course not everyone has those with them but its usual.

It's probably not food poisoning than, your probably finding out what baby likes / your body likes

How far are you? It could just be that the food didn't agree with you / baby. You'd be throwing up or have diarrhea if if was a bug / poisoning . It hits usually pretty fast

When I had food poisoning I had diarreah and throwing up constantly so bad I was in the hospital when I was pregnant with my daughter. Try to just stay hydrated so it doesn't get to that point I hope you feel better

Just zofran or phenergan. There is a stomach flu going around too. That's what i ended up having.
