food poisoning/intestinal virus...need help!

Body: 

well, yuck.

i seemed to have been slammed with wither food poisoning or an intestinal virus during the night. i know i have to let it work out, but having thrown up this morning, i'm concerned about the best way to position myself so as not to exacerbate the prolapses -- especially the rectocele.

blech, this is rough. any advice would be very very welcome.

thanks.

Dear Susan,

For such necessities, let the hands-and-knees positon predominate. Keep your weight well out in front of your pubic bone. This will reinforce the "autoblocking mechanism" of pelvic organ support.

Try to think of it as a time of cleansing! Fresh ginger tea would be very good.

Hugs!!

thanks for the response, christine:

hopefully, i won't have throw up anymore, though should i, the all fours makes sense. earlier, i threw up into the toilet and was on my knees. i definitely know i was trying to hold the pelvic muscles tightly as the recotcele scared me. i would imagine it will all be fine, though, and even if it feels a little weird, will soon get back to where it was.

i've just been sleeping all day as i also feel quite achey. sipping water. hopefully things will feel much better tomorrow.

and a cleansing -- ha ha -- i love it! great way to think about it!

Well there must be something going around haha! Friday night I got a stomach virus. I threw up 8 times starting around 6pm and ending in the early morning. It was awful and violent. I went on all fours in a bucket but I could still feel the force. Right before that I had a cold, cough and the flu plus finding out I'm pregnant so my rectocele is a lot lower to say the least!! I hope you feel better soon.

hugs :)

I'm so sorry to hear that you are both not feeling well! I hope you feel better soon!
