listeria symptoms pregnancyStomach bug, listeria, or normal pregnancy symptoms for 20 weeks? Can someone help please?

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and at my last doctors appt. about a month ago, everything was in perfect condition. I've never gotten morning sickness, and my only usual symptom is constipation (sorry TMI, but more to come). Then, this Saturday I was woken up at 5:30AM with the worst stomach cramps ever. I mean my stomach turned into a knot, the gas pains were ridiculous, and I began shaking. I spent two hours in the bathroom with severe diarrhea and a little vomiting.

Now it's Thursday and I've felt fine since. That is until 2 o'clock this afternoon when it happened all over again. I called my doc. and she said to just stay hydrated, and if I got any cramps or tightening in my uterus, then I shlisteria symptoms pregnancyould go to the emergency room right away. Well, it's been a few hours now and I feel ok. I get the occasional light pain down by my ovary, and a little gas, but I'm worried I may have contracted some sort of bacteria like Listeria. I had chicken last night and it was a little pink, but my husband ate it and feels ok.

I think the baby's ok, because I think I feel her moving (it's like little flicks or taps from inside the wall of my belly), but maybe it's just gas bubbles and not her at all? I dunno. Is this normal? Anyone else experience this ever?
Listeria takes weeks to show symptoms, it is not that.

You may just have the flu :)
I had some back stomach pains and cramping, wlisteria symptoms pregnancyent to the ER and it ended up being uterine irriation, nothing serious. They said if the pain gets much worse over time or closer together to come back but otherwise I would be okay. They also wanted to make sure she was moving still, they said that was an indication it was not serious. (this was at around 22 weeks)

Please stay away from pink chicken! And try not to worry, sounds like you'll be just fine.
(And sounds like it's the baby moving!)
I'm 22 weeks and I haven't experienced anything like that. You may need to go to the emergency room, just to make sure that everything is okay. Good luck!
