I had numerous bouts of gastro when pg with Jack. Where possible I toughed it out. On the bad days DH had to stay home. He was home looking after Jack as I had gastro on the day that Tom unexpectedly arrived early (and fast) - if he wasn't home we wouldn't have made it to hossy on time!

Since Tom was born I haven't been sick but MIL is now in Brissy so that would make life easier if I was.
