Ok, so I have Hypchondria and BIG time anxiety. And I am also a first time mom!!!! GEEZ!! So as you can probably guess my anxiety with my daughter is horrible.
I have a question about the stomach virus/bug/flu
On Saturday around 4 in the morning my 3 yr old woke up crying because her tummy was hurting. She started throwing up like crazy. The throwing up ended around Sunday evening and then she would randomly throw up on Monday depending on if she ate or drank anything. But during that times she was just sleeping or laying down. I did take her to the Dr and she said alot of people are like that right now and its going around here in Houston.
So since Tuesday she has been eating small meals on and off and hasnt complained about her tummy hurting. She's playing like normal.
But randomly...she opens her little mouth as if she is gagging and asks for water and lays down for a few min...then gets right back up and starts acting her normal self. So I am guessing she gets sudden bouts of nausea.
She hasnt really been eating as much (she has a very hefty appetite) but she does ask to eat and seems to get full faster.
I was told this could last 7-10 days. Is this normal?? How have you moms handled this? I need some advice please....I am going crazy!!! I am scared and my mind starts thinking the worse thing!!! Also, she hasnt pooped since yesterday and she usually poops daily...but I am guessing since she really hasntl eaten that much she may not poop daily until she gets back to eating again.
I know I sound crazy...but I am scared. This is her first virus :-(

But she is peeing and drinking fine...my mom says her tummy is probably still very sensitive especially since she was throwing up HARD and bad the first 2 days :-(
Thank you again for your response
I've been doing the BRAT diet and if she asks for something I give her that too. We're in PA - must be going around the whole country. My nephew has it too... and we haven't even been around him in months. (((TAKE CARE)))
She must have learned about nausea though- cute and sad at the same time! In my experience, it takes a few days for the appetite to come back. Think about when you are sick, you know?
Good luck. Try not to worry. Trust your doc!
