BEWARE - Awkward morning sickness moments

Warning - Don't read if you have a weak stomach.

I had a shocker this morning and it got me thinking, I wonder what other awkward experiences other women have had with morning sickness?

This morning, I was driving to work in our small car (not the car I usually drive), it smelt funny and MS came over me. I had no where to spew except into my lovely scarf :o......luckily I could remove it from my work outfit.

When I was pregnant with DD, I can clearly remember driving out of my street and having a power spew all over the dash and stereo of my car! I cried, turned the car around and walked in the house in tears, telling DH that I had thrown up and that he would have to clean it up as it was everywhere. Didnt end up going to work that day.

I can also remember throwing u in a bucket in my storeroom at work (am a teacher) and couldnt exactly leave the room to throw up everytime the urge came over me. :(

So am wondering, what awkward MS experiences have you had?

Well I threw up out the door of our moving car outside the local primary school.. At the exact moment that the school bell rang and I had parent abusing me for throwing up in the gutter as Dh slowed the car down. (with DD2)
I threw up out the back of work, within customer earshot cause I just wasnt quick enough. (with DD1)
Many many many times I have lost my stomach contents whilst driving, so many times along the side of the highway.

I didn't so much as spew, but fainted on a packed train on the way to work. It was so overcrowded and had been late, because another passenger had seizures earlier in the journey. I think I pushed some guy out of the way, on my way down and hit my head. Thing was, when I wake up from fainting, I always think I'm at home in bed, before realising that hang on, I'm on the floor,...of a fricking train and people are staring at me. I think I was 12 weeks pregnant. Some woman was yelling at me, cos you know, I must be deaf ;)
I also remember seeing another woman have to get off the train in the morning to spew. Poor thing.

I've thrown up in the car (I started driving with a bowl in my lap), in the bin at my desk, at the servo right next to the petrol bowser, sides of the road, at a restaurant after craving that food. Ah the joys...

My most awkward moment was serving a customer and had the biggest wave of nausea, i tried to hold it in but i was dry heaving so much i threw up in my hands and just ran to the back of my store, barely made it through the warehouse doors before it sprayed everywhere. Proceeded to vomit continuously on the floor for about 10 mins before i could move to the toilets where i spent an hour unable to move without vomiting. I still don't even know who finished the transaction i was in the middle of! :o

I've done the side of the road, walking to and from the bus stop and the shops. I've had to make sudden dashes to public toilets.

I was very lucky while pregnant, I only had one public vomit!

I found that orange juice in the mornings made me feel better, so that day I'd had 600ml before work. Then I was sitting at my desk (thankfully I had an office) when the familiar big wave of nausea came over me. Only this time it didn't go away. It happened really fast, I couldn't go anywhere, so I thought I could just catch it in my hands.

Nope. It was huge. A big wave of orange juice that completely covered my desk and me. I was only 6 or 7 weeks and no-one knew I was pregnant so I used the last of my tissues to clean what I could, then had to ask for help. It was so embarrassing but thankfully the woman I found to help was so understanding and wonderful, and I suspect she guessed the reason then & there. I blamed a migraine lol, then raced home to get changed.

I'm a midwife and I ended up having a woman's husband holding a bucket for me while I vomited as ttheir baby was being born. Lucky I am a talented multi-tasker. That was so embarrassing!!! Couldn't stop apologising for that one - I even brought them a box of chocolates.

ummm...... I have no stories.... but think I need to get a bucket for my car...... just in case.... ;)

and maybe some spew bags for my desk drawer, and my handbag as well.....

Oh at the park once. I was pushing dd2 on the swing. She fell off. I ran and bent over too quickly, I was barely holding it together when I turned her around to check her face was ok and it was covered in sand! I proceeded to vomit none stop of about ten minutes. Both dd1 and dd2 asking me if I was ok!

Funny note, we rode past that park a few weeks ago and dd1 pipes up at tells everyone 'why did you throw up here again mum?' the kid has a memory like a steal trap. It was FOUR years ago and she was only FOUR! But no no lets explain to my mum, dad, DH, dd2 and ds why I vomited here ;)

Tegam - That reminds me of the time i was bathing DD and the smell of her bath wash made me feel really funny, i had no time to get to the toilet and had the bucket i use to wet her hair in my hand and just proceeded to vomit in it. A few days later my mum came over while she was in the bath and she grabbed the bucket (i had washed and disinfected it) and started making vomiting noises! :doh: thankfully my mum thought she was being silly :lol:

I had a bad one about a week ago driving home from my parents house after dinner. I threw up in my lap whilst driving through a round-a-bout.

Also last night wasn't ideal - I didn't quite get the lid on the toilet up in time and power chucked all over the wall/toilet/window :( DH came in once I was finally throwing up in the toilet and I couldn't even get the words out, I just pulled the lid down to show him the spew everywhere. He laughed and said Arrrgghhhh if I got a dollar for every time ive done that. Hahaha!!!!

In a meeting. Lucky for me that
a) the person was a nurse as well
b) Had guessed I was pregnant

I also threw up at PA. Still noone there knows...

I carry sick bags with me EVERYWHERE. Even now!

Dan - yours takes the cake hon :rofl:

I have a friend who is also a nurse and she was showering a patient and chucking in the basin at the same time.

This thread has just made me purchase some travel sick bags off eBay. Should be here Friday

I had a Mazda MX5 when I was pregnant with DD1 and frequently drove to work with the roof down - came in handy some days!

With DD2 I was at our local food market on an extremely packed Christmas Eve picking up the pork, turkey and ham. My lovely butcher had just given me a ham bag - which came to very good use ;-)

Oh so many.

Walking through woolies carpark... it just kinda came out. I stayed outside & sent ex in. The checkout chick asked if I was ok. Proof that everyone inside had seen it :redface:

On the side of the road, numerous times. Pacific Highway, heavy traffic. Awesome sight for them I'm sure :lol:

Best one I had was while pregnant with DS - DH and I were *ahem* doing the deed, I was on top and we'd just finished when the nausea kicked in, I swallowed a couple of times to try and control it but no, jumped off dashed to the loo and only just made it before hurling :rofl:

With DD I threw up in the biscuit barrel at work. I also fainted halfway through a Brazilian wax

This time around I have thrown up all over the lounge room while trying to tell DD that "mama is so proud you did poos in the potty!" lol

when preg with DJ
- had an early start had a banana before work and got a can of coke when i got to work. i *just* made it to the loo before spewing thanks to the smell of the seafood highlighter/crab slaid stuff.
- serveing a customer (worked in the deli) i picked up fresh water trout (which has no scales just slime) and litterly dropped the fish/bag and RAN away and threw up. came back another customer (male) told me off for working telling me how i was going to make every one sick blah blah and how gastro was contaguis and all...kinda changed his tune when i told him he was male and if he could catch pregnancy off me well im sure thats a mirical.

With Vic not so much other then holding in spew from the inlaws all the way home and spewing up the dinner MIL had made for me all over the front garden...

I was about 11 weeks and clipped a traffic island.. thankfully the car didn't flip and I just blew a tyre..

But while the person behind me pulled over to fix it (he just happened to be a tyre fitter by trade, haha), I was in the bush throwing up.. Had difficulty explaining that it wasn't all shock causing me to be sick, it was morning sickness..

I was on my way to collect a friend to take to work, so he followed me to her house, to make sure I was ok, and she did the driving that day! I called his workplace to also say thanks!

I had numerous chucks on the side of the road.

oh this thread is hilarious. Haven't laughed this hard for ages :) Loved the MIL dinner being spewed on the front lawn.

I was driving my drunk friend home from a dinner a few weeks back and I had to pull over and vomit on someone's front lawn. So awful and my drunk friend thought it was hilarious that I as the sober one was vomiting and she as the drunk one wasn't. I then started to cry :(

Rolling off the couch and knowing that I couldn't crawl to the bathroom fast enough so I had to make a choice between throwing up in DH's ug boot or DS's wagon. Went with the wagon.

Not me, but a lady on the train. Very crowded Friday afternoon, she threw up on herself, took her jacket off and put it over her front. I thought she was drunk being a Friday afternoon & all. This happened around 1998/1999. It occured to me when I was pg with DD, that she was more likely pg. How slow & stupid was I lol! The worst thing was, everyone sitting near her just ignored her.

I threw up in the garden at DS's kindy. That was the tenth time that day. & I'd had an injection of maxalon to stop it :(.

Not ms exactly, but when I was in labour with DS, I had the urge to use the toilet. Unfortunately I had the urge to vomit at the same time. I couldn't turn around quick enough. Poor DH had to clean that one up.

Joeve: I cry everytime I vomit. You're not alone.

:rofl: This is gold.

I work in a tertiary institution and a few weeks ago I was throwing up in the bathroom and having the students waiting in line asking if I was okay, but kind of sniggering too. They most likely thought that I was hung over.

I have thrown up in many a gutter, rubbish bin and those small bushes that they plant on the sides of footpaths in the city.

Omigosh! How could i forget this one... Another story reminded me..

When i was around 20ish weeks with DD me and DP started fooling around. Because of a really bad gag reflex due to severe morning sickness there was something we couldn't do.... *ahem* *cough* :redface: so we waited until i was fully over it or so we thought.... Oh ill mention we had spag bol for dinner.... anywho half way through he got a tad excited shoved my head down and yep hit that gag reflex and i covered him in my dinner!!!!!!! :o :sick:

It didnt stop there i proceeded to spend the whole night in the toilet vomiting and crying. Usually he shares our war stories in the bedroom with his mates but i begged him not to breathe a word and he said he was more worried *i* would tell people!

I vomited during labour with DD whilst going to the loo, never seen people run so quickly (considering I had an internal not long prior and was no where near ready they all thought I'd had her in the toilet)

This pg I have vomited in my bin at work, all over my bathroom at home, in the shower. Not good. (and everytime I had to clean it myself lol)

These have made me laugh so much. I love the spewing into the toy truck! :rofl:

My absolute worst was sitting on the train - at the seats near the doors - and getting that horrible feeling. There was no where to go and before I knew it, I vomited everywhere, all over myself and all over the floor. I was only about 10 weeks so not showing at all. I am also one of those people that cries when they vomit, so it was so difficult getting the "I'm pregnant" line out. Thankfully everyone was so sweet about it. It was horrible as I was 5 stops away from my destination and everyone that hopped on the train got a great look at the contents that were once in my stomach.
I have also vomited in the middle of Flemington Markets. Then more on the way home when stopped at a red light. Oh and I vomited outside the very low fence of some poor old guy doing his gardening when on my walk to work.

I was shocking when pg with DS, I managed to use up all my sick leave very quickly...

I had to leave my house in the morning (after having a spew) walk to the bus stop, spew in the bin or bush (whichever was closest) get on bus, try not to inhale as invariably there would be some one with bad bo or bad breath that would just have to sit next to me, I did have to get off early a few times to have a spew in the bushes, walk to the next stop/s until the next bus came...then get to the train station and RUN off the bus to spew in a bin/bush, I wouldn't get on the train until the chimes were going so I had more time to spew if needed, I would usually manage ok on the train, get to my stop, get off spew again in the bin, walk down road....this particular day I was having to stop every five minutes, was already running late from taking 2 different buses, I finally managed to get almost to the end of the street, nausea hit badly, I was on my knees in a bush in a carpark, this woman was standing there in the car park just STARING at me, never said a word...I was almost hysterically crying by that stage too.... I crawled to the street and got myself back up, then onto the main road...spewed a few more times in a few bushes...FINALLY walked in the door of work and had to RUN to the employee toilets..I sat on the floor and sobbed my heart out, I felt so awful :( I cleaned myself up, reapplied my make up and walked out to the shop, my supervisor took one look at me and sent me home!
I started bawling again as I had no leave left so I wouldnt get paid even though I just went through ALL THAT to get there!!

I was only 10 or so weeks at that stage, that weekend I ended up in hospital on a drip and was prescribed some awesome drug that worked wonders (cant remember the name..starts with a z??)

I also spewed in the carpark at casuarina shopping center, in the fruit and veg section at woolies...I think basically you name it, I spewed on it! LOL

When I was about 10 weeks, at my desk at work that overwhelming sensation came over me just as a male coworker came over to ask something. I must have looked pretty dodgy, as he quickly reached down to get my bin and proceeded to hold it under my face as I hurled. Impeccable timing, though very embarrassing! I apologized, took the bin and ran to the bathroom while he casually asks my cubie what she knows. When I got back to my desk he'd left me a glass of water and a note saying to go home!

He was pretty good about it and hasn't mentioned it since, except for an 'I worked that one out! When I announced the pregnancy a couple weeks later.
