rivkaI have a stomach virus. I've had it since Friday.
I went to the doctor this morning and was told that I was the fourth stomach virus already that day. Apparently it's been going around. There's no treatment, of course; it's a virus. I just have to let it run its course.
The good news: As long as I can continue not to let myself get dehydrated, there's no risk to the pregnancy.
The bad news: No symptom-relieving medications are considered safe for pregnancy. Also, the recommended as-close-to-nothing-as-possible diet dramatically worsens my morning sickness. Simple carbohydrates, quickly digested = empty stomach at the mercy of hormones.
It had better clear up before Worldcon, is all I have to say.
