Suspected Food Poisoning

I'm currently 28 weeks and away on holiday. Yesterday I made the mistake of eating a hot dog from one of the all inclusive trucks that are dotted around the pool areas (I know dumb choice). After about an hour I got super nauseous and uncomfortable. I tried to rest it off but it just lingered, I felt lethargic and went down for some dinner, I got as far as eating two pieces of cucumber and I couldn't put my finger on the feeling but my stomach was uncomfortable and I felt like crying - I didn't feel well at all. After attempting the third bit of cucumber I darted for the toilets as I felt sick or maybe needed to open my bowels (which I already had an hour before and it was normal). Anyway, turns out it was both. I vomited a large amount and went to the toilet multiple times. I cleaned myself up and sipped fresh water for a couple of hours before going to sleep. I also managed an orange and a couple of dry non sweet biscuits. I haven't visited the toilet overnight again but my stomach does occasionally get a wave of nausea. Baby has been active all evening through this, was active at night for a bit and seems to have started some wriggles this morning. Do I need to go find a hospital/maternity unit and get checked or do I just wait and see how I feel today? I'm hoping being able to hold something over night is a good sign. I also have gestational diabetes so am a little worried about my blood sugar dropping or not keeping it steady. Any advice would be appreciated.

Bump at 7 weeks

Does anyone else have a baby bump early? I'm sucking in to rule out any bloating in the picture.

Mucus plug

I began to lose pieces of my mucus plug yesterday. Today I’m pretty sure the whole thing came out. I’m a bit worried as I’m only 37 weeks.

How soon did you go into labor after losing your mucus plug?

Periods

How long was it after giving birth do you normally get your period? I know everyone’s different but I’ve been getting cramps all day together, I’m 5 weeks 3days pp… is it normal to get your period this early?

Mucus plug

I’ve noticed today that my plug is starting to come loose a few hours ago.
I’m 39 weeks on Sunday and scheduled for induction the day after my due date next Sunday .
There is no blood it’s thick and fairly clear. How long after losing it did you go into labor if you had a similar timed experience?
How do I know when it’s gone? I’m more than ready to have this baby I just don’t know what I’m supposed to expect my body to do from this point forward. First time mom.
My mom and sister both never experienced water breaks so I’m not sure if I will or not.

Postpartum pelvic pain

Does anybody have any pelvic pain after giving birth? It feels similar to the last few weeks of pregnancy, but even worse mobility and tightness for me. I'm not sure if it's from before or something from the birth.
