Hi all! I have a stupid question! I am 5 months out and have had no problems what so ever . The last 3 days I have had a bad case if the runs and no appetite. I teach kindergarten so I suspected it was a bug I caught from the kiddos but it is not going away! Now my anxiety is rearing it's ugly head and I'm thinking it may be something worse??? Any thoughts??

I'm five months out too and I had a similar situation last weekend. It turned out to just be a stomach bug and I was fine by Monday. Make sure you are drinking extra fluids (I stocked up on G2 to stay hydrated, though I don't usually drink beverages with calories). With it having been 3 days already, I would say if it goes on for another day or two, go to your doctor or urgent care, as most stomach bugs won't last that long.

Who knows? Could be parasites or some bacteria....go to the doctor and submit a sample to be on the safe side. Sometimes these things clear up on their own, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I developed similar symptoms while working as a PreK director. It ended up being some weird bacteria. It got worse over time as the incidents occurred more often. I was on the playground and had to go so bad, but couldn't leave the kids alone. An incident like that can happen to you when you are responsible for so many small children. My problem cleared up with antibiotics. Good luck!
