Hi Brandy,


You poor thing!  That is awful.  It sounds to me like you have the flu.  However, I would definately call and get in to see your doctor sooner.  If you get dehydrated, it can cause pre-term labor and I think you should just get checked out to make sure everything is okay.  I hope you feel better!
