So yesterday I had the awful privilege of having food poisoning. It was truly a "do not want to experience again" experience.
I am about 15 weeks along and aggggg, yuck-it wasn't fun! I think I have narrowed it down to taking a bit of yogurt that I was about to feed Katie around lunch time as being the culprit. I remembered that I had taken the yogurt with us on a picnic and then it wasn't eaten. I had taken a small frozen icy to keep it cold, but it didn't work. I tasted it to be sure it was still okay, and after one bit, I thought, "I am not sure, I should throw this out." That was all I thought about it.
Then around 4 pm I started feeling bloated and a bit queasy. Things just got way worse from there. After doing some reading online, which one site called food poisoning, "becoming violently ill in 6-8 hours after eating something sour" I deduced (with Robin's help-thank you!) that that is what I had. It was a miserable night of throwing up, being in the bathroom and not sleeping, but like the site said, in about 18-24 hours you should feel better...and I do. I am still tired and my back/tummy hurts from throwing up, but I have made it!~
And the Lord was incredibly gracious to me today and Katie took a great nap. 2 hours and 15 minutes-I took one too :)
But note to self, food poisoning is horrible-especially while pregnant, but it would have been even more awful if I had given that yogurt to Katie. So Praise the Lord for his care and protection even in this!
yuk! I'm so sorry you were sick!! Glad you're feeling better now!
ReplyDeleteYou too?! I got that last week - first time and hopefully the last - and it was AWFUL! For awhile we thought I was going to have to go to the hosptal for an IV since I was still trying to nurse the boys. PTL it goes away fast too. SOO glad you are better. . . I can't imagine having it pregnant!!
