abroad and sick

[moti26_]

Im 22weeks and 3days.. I came to my husbands country for two months basically ever since I got here I have been having the most terrible diaherria on an off accompanied by period like cramps. Yesterdy morning it felt more severe that I thought I was going to see a pile of heavy blood. Ive already been treated for a uti b4 travelling an treated for a thrush infection since being here. This is my first pergnancy an for ths reason I did not feel to travel but I did it 4 his parents..although im feeling kicking all the time I cant help feeling anxious.. also is it normal at this stage not to have a huge bump? Other women have told me I dont look pregnant an look very weak. This has all added to my tension of course. Im eating 5 or 6times a day

What country are you in?

Yes your right. I should stop wasting time and go get checked. Thanks for all your support. Its very much appreciated.

What country is it? Different cultures have different beliefs and I respect that, however, depending on where you are you could of ingested a parasite or contracted an illness. I personally would be concerned if you're having constant sickness/diarrhea since being there. Ultrasound exposure isn't an issue and you really need to be checked by your doctor. Parasites can be dangerous depending on the type and so can other illnesses people catch from different countries.

The town where my hubby is from, they buy unpasturised foods from the market such as milk and butters. they boil the milk and I did explain to them that I cant eat certain foods. They dont seem to understand the risks. Even though studies show complications are rare but still being a mother, u want to be cautious.I have been drinking alot of the milk boiled of course. I would go to the doctr however im concerned about the amount of ultra sound exposure ive had so far for minor reasons

I got sick when I went to my husband's country, pakistan, and that was before I was even pregnant! Travel of any kind makes your body change to the environment. And pregnancy on top of thatcan make u even sicker. I am also 22weeks 3days pregnant! Yay! Haha. And its my first. I have a small bump, only noticeable if I point it put. Totally normal though! Try to look after yourself, relax as much as you can. :)

It may be the food. I get so sick whenever I go to Mexico its horrible! I didn't have a bump with my first until I was 26 weeks and after that I blew up. It's how the baby is positioned some women hardly ever show. Have you seen a doctor to makebsure everything is ok with your baby?
