Morning Sickness or Stomach Flu?

I have no temp, but I sort of feel like Ive got a stomach flu....is there any way to know the difference?

I think some of the symptoms of stomach flue includes diarrhea, vomiting, headache, fever, and abominal cramps.

If you don't have those, then probably is morning sickeness. Better check with your doctor, specially if you were responding to the medication they gave you before for morning sickeness.

In the mean time, have your tried drinking ginger tea, or eating ginger? When I got my molar pregnancy, sometime I felt very dizzy and with nausea. I used to eat small pieces of candied ginger, and that helped me a lot.

Sounds like just lovely pregnancy side effects. I, TG have not been sick to the point where I actually throw up. But the ms does just feel like a stomach bug. Your stomach feels queasy or uneasy and the hormone headaches or hazy fuzzy head feeling coupled with it can really make you feel like you are maybe coming down with something. I kept thinking I was getting sick but after feeling this way for over a week and never any fever I decided it's just pregnancy and hoping it all disappears at 12 weeks

Do you have any body aches?
