Extremely Sad & Helpless 😔

My son officially turns 2 today! We had this huge Toy Story birthday party for him today, vendors, family, friends & neighbors! & we had to cancel due to my son getting a stomach bug!
I’m not sad about canceling his party, that we can do any day.

I’m sad that he’s been up throwing up on & off all night since it hit 12, his actual birthday.
He’s so exhausted from not being able to get a good rest in between 💔
& as comfortable as I’m making him, this thing just has to run its course.

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.

Early Scans

How long did people wait for early scan, did a test last week and said 1-2 weeks pregnant, is this too early for a scan?
