Norovirus while pregnant

As a FTM, I think this has prepared me for labour because NOTHING could be as painful as having norovirus while pregnant.

Let me paint you a picture: on 13hour flight from London to Tokyo, I started feeling unwell, about 4 hours in I thought something is not quite right. Let’s just say… I spent 9hours in agony trying to make it to the bathroom on time. Projectile vomiting on the hour, every hour, among other things.

I was 12 weeks at the time and had a rough 1st trimester due to nausea, but it had started to ease up. And then 2 days before my flight I kept retching real bad, nausea came back 10 fold, and I thought maybe It’s the final kicker before it leave my system and I enter the blissful 2nd tri - how wrong I was. I put the pre-flight exhaustion down to pregnancy tiredness but I actually had a fever the whole time, how fun.

Anyone else had this horrible, horrible virus while pregnant and lived to tell the tale?
