I am 8 weeks pregnant. I had a bad bout of vomiting two days ago but I thought that was nausea-related until the diarrhea started and had a slight fever at 100F. All the symptoms have now subsided butI am now sure that it was a case of food poisoning/stomach flu and now worried about the health of my baby since I read so much advice against having food poisoning in pregnancy esp. the first trimester. Has anyone had food poisoning during first trimester and successfully gave birth to a healthy baby?

Oh yeah, hate food poisoning, espeacially when your newley prego.. I was probably 10 weeks prego when i got the flu really bad, i could swear it was morning sickness except for all the other flu like symtoms... not fun times... I think as long as your fever didnt go over 103 your okay... I was at 102 degrees with the flu. 7-1/2 months later I had a happy and very healthy baby girl. Good luck!
PS I had food poisoning numerous times during that pregnancy and had it in all 3 trimesters, twice in my first!
I wouldnt worry too much.

I did with both of my preganancies and my kids were born healthy. I don't think it really affects the baby unless you become seriously dehydrated. I knnow that if you become dehydrated you can go into premature labor. If you are really worried talk to your doctor they can tell you more. don't ever be afraid or embarrassed to ask your dr when it has to do with the health of your baby. Good Luck and congratulations on the new baby.
