What Causes Abdominal Cramps,diarrhea With Blood And Nausea During Pregnancy?

I am 17 weeks pregnant and I have what I thought was a stomach virus. Severe abdominal cramping, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, low grade fever, diarrhea, very bad neck/headache. My diarrhea is now foamy with blood. I don't want to go to the ER unnecessarily. What could this be?
