to think that vomitting into a carrier bag in the middle of a cafe is not on, even if it is 'just morning sickness'

[LifeIsButtercream]

Was in a cafe this lunch time with my parents and my DD, a lady came in with three other adults and a toddler and sat at one of the tables, they were about halfway through their lunch when the lady took a carrier bag out of her handbag, vomitted into it, tied a knot in it and put it under her chair next to some shopping bags. She then loudly talked to her fellow diners about it just being morning sickness and picked at her remaining food.

Don't get me wrong, I remember the morning sickness days well, it's a horrible feeling, I don't miss it, BUT this was a cafe, other people are eating and there was a well-signed toilet a few metres from her table - did she really need to do that?

Fortunately it wasn't a carrier bag with holes........

I felt bad enough when I vommed on the bus on the way to work with HG- without a bag! I definitely wouldn't go anywhere casually with a plastic bag knowing that I could do that... and to not dispose of it immediately is just gross!

I once threw up in my cowboy boots and then had to walk home in them

TheDetective - are you the puker? Seriously, can't you understand that people are disgusted by the non-disposal of the sick, not the being sick itself.

I've vommed in all manner of places while pregnant, I never stored it under my chair in a cafe for safe keeping though.

That's horribal and minging, if she had time rpto get out a carrier cpbag, she had time to rush to the loo nearby. To put ipthe carrier amongst te shopping ewww, she should have taken it to the loo and put it in the bin there, nt whilst diners are eating

noddyholder - you are hardcore.

The subject of the OP - eeeeeyeuwwwwkk

She could have grabbed the bag and carried it to the loo in case she didn't make it, - what she did was utterly disgusting, really.

If I was sat with her I would have freaked, - go and fucking get rid of it you weirdo.

I saw a well dressed middle aged woman vomitting into a carrier bag on a staircase at the Royal Opera House. I have no idea why she made no effort to get to a toilet. I had to hold my breath until I burst, and was anxious for days after about catching stuff (2 days, not Norovirus, 7 days, not Rotavirus, 10 days, longer than anything the kids ever got). I have real issues, and it ruined the evening.

On another occasion a group of severely disabled people and their carers were at the local Starbucks, and one of them was vomitting constantly into a container. I had to leave - at a run. Holding my breath. Counting down the incubation period. I don't think disability is sufficient excuse.

She should ave ran to the loo holding the carrier bag, not done it I front of people eating and left the fecking bag there for all to see and smell yuck

I worked throughout pg,I did go to cafes.socially did go out
being prone to sickness doesn't need confinement and never eat out or go out
I had bags,hand gel, I just had to get on with it and work

sm you are hard as nails, admirable - but would you have puked and bagged and kept? - surely not.

YADNBU.
Even though she may, through morning sickness, be on regular speakers with the contents of her stomach and the noises involved in ejecting them, it is incredibly unreasonable to expect others to put up with this in a place where peolple go to eat. My children at a certain age, and several of my friends, would def have joined her (sans bag) if they'd witnessed this.
She clearly had enough warning to get the bag out and unroll it, so she should at least have gone to the loo.
If her MS was so bad that she was liable to vomit without warning, she should have avoided cafes and restaurants until it had passed.

I have spoken.

do read what I've posted
I had gel,I had bags,I disposed of appropriately
unfortunately I was Ill when pg,so yep I hurled whenever couldn't curb it

Agree fizzled, I heard mil throwing up in our loo and it made me feel , and a strong desire to hurl myself

if you hurl all time pg you cannot avoid cafe or restaurants for duration
what you can do is make adequate provision and try be discreet
pg doesn't require confinement or exclusion from food places and it's daft to assert so

I agree 100% that someone suffering HG should not have to be 'confined to quarters' so as not to upset people. It's only the non-disposal that I would object to.

SM your strategy sounds sensible.

I can't cope with people being sick, I really, really can't. I find it really hard when the DC are sick. I'd have had to have left the cafe, and would have been in a right state.

I am sorry, but if you are prone to vomiting without warning you should avoid cafes. DS1 suffers with cyclical vomiting syndrome, we never took him to a cafe when he was in the middle of an attack, out of common courtesy to everyone else.

Not gross enough imo.

Second time round I often pissed myself when suffering from morning sickness.

apologies sm, - didn't see your earlier "i disposed of" post - shocking perhaps but acceptable if caught out but provisions made and disposed of. it was the bagging and continuing that I disagreed with.

ABF , - yeah, morning sickness is a hoot, eh?

Astonishing other women recommend confinement or exclusion for ms when pg
women do work through pg,and need to manage the ms best they can
the responsibility on pg woman is to make adequate provision for the ms

Yeah cafes aren't essential places to go.

Adequate provision for morning sickness is not to stuff it under your seat. It is not throwing up in the middle of a cafe and having to explain yourself to other people!

I agree, you are excluded from enough during pg - pate, ice cream, alcohol, etc. I worked through with both children - employers described me as 'peaky' before I could tell them i was pg, - I'm sure they thought I was hungover

I was on a tube once when someone did this - it was a bit gross to hear, but obviously worse for her than us. To be honest once she had tied a knot in the bag there was no smell. No one demanded she get off the fine straight away to dispose it. I think we were all quite impressed by her composure.

cafe when pg was essential if hungry,out in work business,needing drink
I worked pg and eat in cafes,if blood sugar low I felt worse
adequate nutrition is an essential,and pg women can't be excluded from eating in cafe etc

Not confinement or exclusion during pregnancy. Don't exaggerate. Just don't go to cafes if you are prone to vomitting. That's hardly imprisonment.
