lost 9 pounds
I know this is not terrible, but need some reassurance. I am 9 weeks and had a bad case of the flu.
I did only tylenol and fluids, but I could barely eat for 4 days and have been having prenatal issues with m/s already - so I haven't been taking them.
my head is telling me it will all be fine, but there is a pit in my stomach that it was bad to do.

Re: lost 9 pounds
Can you give your OB a call and see if they will check you out for peace of mind?

Re: lost 9 pounds
I would definitely talk to your doctor, they may be able to prescribe you a different prenatal that's better for you. Skipping your prenatals for a few days isn't the worst thing in the world, it's not recommended, but it isn't terrible if you aren't able to keep it down anyway. Hope you feel better!!

Re: lost 9 pounds
I lost 13 pounds my first trimester, and got such intense morning sickness that I could barely eat those first weeks. Trust me, you'll be fine. Hope you're feeling better!

Re: lost 9 pounds
Folic Acid is important so maybe try to just take an 800mcg folic acid tablet daily, they are really tiny. I wouldn't worry about having missed it for a few days...so sorry you got the flu! Hope you are feeling better!

I would do this too! We're supposed to be crazy and neurotic when we're dealing with another human life inside us! Hope you're feeling 100% soon!
