Could it effect my pregnancy??

[jennifer-345]

I havn't yet found out if I am pregnant as it is too early but I am hoping to be. I am concerned because since yesterday I have had a virus which meant I was sick all night and had the runs really bad.. I also felt really faint at times and my hands were tingly and was just very ill in general. I was wondering if this would have effected my pregnancy if I am pregnant??

This 'must' be your first pregnancy because if you had been pregnant before you'd know that the baby will be fine you on the other hand can feel ill and much worse than you descibe but the baby will take what it needs. As a kind friend described to me 'the baby is a parasite and will take everything to survive'. good luck:-)

Find out as soon as possible and keep a check with your doctor and midwife especially as to what you can and can't take for any illnesses if you are pregnant.

At the end of the day, women have been having babies forever and if you look at the bigger picture, they are pretty hardy little things :)

Just keep warm and hydrated and make sure you are getting a good balanced diet of nutritious food and any supplements you need for a healthy you and baby.

The placenta will generally keep infections away from the embryo / foetus.

You can find out if your pregnant before you miss a period nowadays, why cant you do a test?
