So yesterday I got the flu. I’ve been throwing up this pregnancy regardless but yesterday was different it was really hard and wouldn’t stop all day I’m feeling better today except I woke up with horrible back and leg cramps almost like really bad period cramps. I’ve had 4 kids and I know every pregnancy is different but still this has never happened before. I had to take a Tylenol it had me shaking it hurts so bad. Well now I’m worried about baby there’s been no bleeding but everything just feels wrong. I have a dr appt today and I’m really hoping she sends me for an ultra sound just to check that everything is ok and something didn’t detach... should I ask for one or do I just sound winey?? Thanks mommas
Probably dehydrated....try to drink as much as you can tolerate and good you’re going to the dr.
@erincharlieconor, thanks you ❤️❤️ I’ll let you know how everything goes. I’m really hoping I’m just being overly cautious but idk
My guess is you are dehydrated. Puking does that and the flu makes it worse. Water, pedialite, Gatorade, Powerade should help hydrate you and get rid of the cramps. I’ve been dehydrated with both my previous pregnancies and am borderline dehydrated this time. It really sucks getting an iv placed when you are dehydrated so they can give you iv fluids. I’ve been doing my best to avoid that this time.
