8dpo vomiting - pregnant or stomach bug? 🤢

I started feeling really nauseous last night before bed, went to bed and it got even more intense and I ended up vomiting. I have a bad headache as well and my upper back is aching. It’s 3am and I just feel awful and can’t sleep at all.
Could this be a sign of pregnancy or have I just been really unlucky and caught a stomach bug? 😭 I never had any nausea or sickness with my first so don’t know what pregnancy sickness feel like.

It’s really hard to tell. I do know there is a nasty tummy bug going around these days. And every pregnancy is different so you could have it with this one. But it just feels very much like you described feeling nauseous all the time. I’ve never had it as early as 8DPO maybe take a test as you could get a faint line. And if not feel better nothing worse than being unwell and unable to sleep.

If the nausea is caused by pregnancy your HCG will be high enough for a test to detect it.

Would you take your almost 4 yr old to a birthday party at an indoor play place during spring break, with a 10 week old baby?

I know it will be crowded as heck since it’s during spring break. I’ll be holding my 10 week old the whole time but nervous that we might get sick from being inside with all those people for so long

Group B Strep positive labor and baby

Hi,
First time mom to be here, currently around 37 weeks.
Can anyone please share their experience of labor and how was the baby health in the first weeks, months when tested positive for GBS and receiving antibiotics during labor?
I was blessed to not have any serious complications during whole pregnancy and was really looking forward to unmedicated easy-ish birth hopefully and healthy baby but now is concerned about me being able to stay mobile during labor and having side effects for antibiotics, and for baby to have microbiome negative affects due to antibiotics taken..
Any insights or experience would be helpful.

Pushchairs

Out of curiosity, have we turned babies forward facing in their push chairs yet? I’ve kept her facing me as I’d rather see her 😅 I assume it doesn’t matter either way? (7 months on the 8th)

Hormone drip

I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.

Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?
