Squishy stomach and cravings

De Stijl · 22-06-2009, 06:34 AM

I've been have a squishy stomach now for about three days. There have been a number of times where I've wanted to throw up but in the end I haven't. I've also had weird cravings for sweet things as well, but every time I eat I feel even sicker. My period hasn't come for over a month now and there's thoughts in the air I might be pregnant but I won't get tested until payday next week.

Help?

It sounds as though You may be pregnant huni !

If there is the possibility then as you say when you get paid next week but a test huni !

WHy not get an appointment with your GP

Good luck !

I would suggest going to your GP. They will be best placed to advise on what is causing your symptoms and if need be can give you a pregnancy test before your pay day (it would be free).

I thought I had a tummy bug but the only bug I can think of is food poisoning but surely, food poisoning doesn't last three days + does it without vomiting? I wish I could go to my doctor's but I've got a dead set fear of needles.

Whether the tummy bug makes you sick or not depends on what part of your digestive system it is affecting.

As it has been more than 3 days, it may well pay to go to your GP to find out what it is. Some viruses can last longer than 48 hours, and some types of food poisoning do not take affect until some hours afterwards. However, without knowing more, or seeing you, it is impossible for us to tell.

I understand the dislike of needles, but it may be that the GP can diagnose without needing to use one and, if not, at least any test done will be done in order to help you and treat your symptoms.

some virus can last a while so its wort getting checked out if its still there. you might be pregnant also. maybe go to your gp who can run a urine test and tell you if you are pregnant.
GPswont charge for a test either. or if you live inthe uk you can buy 2 in a pack from asda or pound shops for a pound.
