With each of my pregnancies I've had a stomach virus. Something about the two seem to "go together" for me. Until yesterday, the latest I've ever been sick, was 16 weeks (with Annie). Yesterday morning it hit - hard. And Harrison did not appreciate it one iota. It's always hard to have a stomach virus (I hate them!) but having every muscle in my abdomen trying to press around a 32-week fetus who fights back I think makes it even worse!
Thankfully we only dealt with that once. The nurse told me to take Phenergan and sleep as much as I could. She didn't have to encourage me twice. I did just that.
Now I'm feeling better - still dizzy and weak but definitely better. I'm just praying Elizabeth doesn't get it next. Her birthday is Thursday and I really don't want this stuff to ruin her day!

Good to hear you are feeling better. I agree. Stomach virusses are horrible when you are pregnant. I hope your little Elizabeth doesn't get it! I had to admit my eldest to hospital on his 2nd birthday thanks to the rota virus. I hated that. Sucks as a birthday present.
Awwwww, I can't imagine having a stomach virus so far along in a pregnancy! Feel better (((hugs)))
Yuck to stomach viruses! ... especially while pregnant! Thanks for your comment on my blog. Sorry I missed you in LR. Maybe next trip. I'll be there on February 9th for an Open House at my gym. Maybe you and the kids can stop by.
Oh, no, Gina!!! I was worried you were going to get it,too...it is hard being pregnant and sick. I'm glad it is short lived!
We are looking forward to Elizabeth's party...that is if everybody is well. Can you email me the directions? Does Elizabeth like anything special? Any favorite things?
UGH! I did that once with Zander, and it was horrible, just horrible.
Glad you are better now :)
