Don't feel so good.

I'm 21 weeks and I think i have food poisoning. I can't keep any food down and have a terrible migraine. I've been this way since yesterday. Should I go to the hostpital if it doesn't get any better? I'm scared eventually I might spike a fever.

I had this last week. It was bad enough I started barfing up dark green bile. Went to the hospital and they gave me anti-nausea meds and an IV and took some blood to test. I felt much better and my baby started moving again. I just went to the maternity triage rather than ER. Took 6 hours to re-hydrate me.

The e.r doesn't do much for pregnant women at all. Just keep yourself cooled down, sip on water like through a straw it helps a lot. So does ice. Throwing up ***** and I refuse to but you will feel so much better afterwards. Good luck, hope you feel better.

Drink lots of water to stay hydrated!  I had the stomach flu this pregnancy and it was not fun.  Try gateraid or poweraid or flat gingerale once some water will stay down for you..  hope u feel better soon.

Charbarr how long did your symptoms last for? My obgyn said that normally people in the E.R. don't do anything for pregnant woman but I'm starting to feel like I need to go since my body is feeling warm. I hope I don't get a fever.

It's probably not food poisoning then. I haven't been able to keep food down and have a major migraine. My stomach is hurting badly too. Should I still go to the hostpital?

Food poisoning occurs within 1 hour of eating bad food and goes away once you throw your food up.
