Hey ladies, I’m pregnant again but my husband has the stomach flu.
He has the stomach flu it took him 2 days to show symptoms since he’s been in contact with it. What I’m tryna ask is should I be worried if I catch the stomach flu too? I’m only 6 weeks pregnant and can’t help but overthink

@Alyssa thank you! I’m gonna take some
@Alyssa I’m just worried about the aggressive vomiting
I would just say maybe if you're vomiting so badly that you can't keep down any liquids, call your OB to see if they advise going to the ER for IV hydration. Hope you stay well!
Well, lots of people have nausea for their first trimester. I'm sure throwing up won't make you lose the baby. You could always try ginger candies or ginger ale to help with vomiting if you do get it. I'm hoping you don't get it though 🙏
I had the stomach flu this pregnancy - definitely brutal. But the good news is that it’s usually short lived. Try to stay hydrated. I also called my OB for any recommendations to help ease my symptoms.
I am 8 weeks pregnant and got a cold 5 weeks ago. I still have a lingering cough. I get sick every pregnancy. It's normal, since your hormones change and your immune system drops. Unless you're a high risk pregnancy kind of person, I wouldn't worry about it if you do get sick. But maybe take some airborne or emergen-c to try to boost your immune system.
