... and i'm now becoming incredibly stressed!

it all started on friday morning, with a huge explosion of vomit in my elder daughters first ever school assembly! by midnight on friday she wasn't even keeping water down and when i phoned nhs direct they got an out of hours doctor to call and they sent someone round to check her. the doctor checked her over, said she wasn't dehydrated and that half of london were suffering with the same thing! since then though she has eaten virtually nothing and has even stopped wanting drinks as whenever she eats or drinks something she then cries and says her tummy hurts. i've had to resort to giving her spoonfuls of water whenever i can get her to take one.


feeling very very stressed. i hate it when i babies are ill. i don't handle it very well and become totally pessimistic.


if anyone has any reassuring words (along the lines of "she will sleep all night and wake up totally better in the morning") they'd be hugely appreciated.

Really sorry for you. Great the doc came and checked her over. It will pass, but poor poppet, and poor you. If it's any consolation, I think the doc is right: there are lots of vomity and runny pooey little ones about at the mo. Our 1 year old just puked up today's lunch, tea, milk all over himself, the cot, the floor, us...and the same thing has happened over last few days and he has slept just fine.

Good luck for the night and her speedy recovery.

hello... our 2 yr old daughter had this bug (well it sounds the same) last week. Lasted for 5-6 days and started with vomiting in first 2 days then explosive runs for the following 3-4days. She didn't eat anything at all but she was thirsty. The doc I spoke to (i called to see if they wanted me to take her into the surgery or not but since no fever accompanied it they said not to unless fever came or if the diarrhea carried on for more than 4 -5 days). Unfortunately she didn't sleep that well at night, sorry, but that was perhaps because she was napping in the day (and usually has given up her daytime nap ). It took a few days for her appetite to return to normal after the bug went but now she's eating so much that I think her body is making up for it, and quite amazingly, eating stuff she wouldn't even eat before she was ill. So I hope your little one gets better soon and hopefully it won't last much longer. If you are worried though you ought to call the doc of course again.

hello


thanks ever so much for your replies - very hugely appreciated


had another night where she was completely restless and whimpering and threw up all the water we gave her.

have phoned the doctor and they can see her this morning but part of me is wondering if i should just take her into a&e as i don't have a huge amount of faith in my doctor...


she attempted to eat some breakfast for the first time in 3 days but it soon reappeared. she is now asleep on the sofa


i am so stressed i've been in tears about 4 times this morning already

Just wanted to add my sympathy! my 18 month old has just got over something similar, which started with him vomiting all over me and the hand luggage while waiting to do through security at Dubai airport Thursday before last. They kindly opened another security line just for us and we got taken to the airport med centre via speedy airport vehicle. the diarrhoea started on the plane back to London, which was fun. I've never been so happy to see heathrow!

Anyway, I thought it would NEVER end, but all well since Saturday just gone so just remember that it will pass!

Tears are allowed :o)

clux how is she? BabySb recovered from the puking pretty quick and we just have disgusting nappies and no appetite now - sounds like your little one had a pretty horrid bug....


I don't deal well with illness, grumpiness or any type of upset generally either......!

hello everyone


thank you so much for all your messages of support - especially molly


i took mabel to the doctor on monday, they checked her over and sent me straight to A&E. They took blood tests and said her blood sugar level was way too low, her temperature was too low and she was dehydrated. So she spent the whole day on a drip. They then said they were going to have to transfer us somewhere else as they didn't have a bed for a night, but then she sat up asked for food, ate an apple and banana and just looked a lot better. So they checked all her bloods again and she'd massively improved and i was allowed to bring her home on the understanding that if she started being sick again i had to take her back.


So far so good this morning, asked for and ate some breakfast. No sick but one huge amount of poo all over my bathroom floor when i got her out of the bath!! Guess her food is going through again!!


So all in all, we're a much happier house today. I've never been so stressed.


Thanks again everyone - you're the best!

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
