to find royal morning sickness irritating

[piplypip]

Having had to work through all my bouts of morning sickness and endure three labours at st marys (definitely not lindo wing) I have limited sympathy for Katiekins' morning sickness. I think she shouldve tried to cope with the engagement she had lined up this afternoon looking less than her usual perfect self. That wouldve sent out a great sign of solidarity to us mere mortals.

HG is not morning sickness. Your post suggest you have no idea what HG is!

I have been vomiting since 6 weeks pregnant. I am now 37 weeks and can't wait for labour to begin. This is DC4 and it has actually been better this time round as I've not been admitted for fluids this time.

I have managed work most of the time by throwing up in the sink in my consultation room in between patients and by eating and drinking constantly, trying to stop the unending nausea, which I then throw up again.

The rest of the time, I have been in my bed. It's not been a lot of fun and I wish I'd had "morning sickness"!

I don't care who they are, Id feel sorry for anyone suffering from HG. Its horrendous and debilitating and is not morning sickness.

You cannot 'work through the bouts' you are hospitalised and put on a drip, often for days or weeks on end.

Oh good for you. Have a bloody medal. Being royal doesn't exempt you from serious medical conditions.
What a vile thread to start. She might recover from her illness while your journey to decency and empathy might take longer.

When I was in hospital a few years ago, there were two women on the ward who had HG. They were both on permanent drips and looked like death warmed up. Both were working (and had other kids) but there was no way they could carry on with their jobs, they were both severely dehydrated when they came in as they could not keep even small sips of water down.

Oh how original, another Kate bashing thread. As others have said, she doesn't have 'just' morning sickness and I'm depressed already at the number of judgey pants mean threads about her and William. I'm no royalist but ffs can we not just feel a bit of solidarity for the poor cow while she's no doubt got vomit streaming down her front?

All seems very Charles and Diana to me!!
I hope it doesn't end the same way

piplypip did your GP/midwife not rule out HG? Finding it hard to even stand up sounds pretty severe!

And here's some and for having the guts to admit you were wrong and too hasty to post on Aibu!

You have no idea what you are talking about. This is very clear.

From someone currently signed off work by a doctor because of HG.

Ronald
What the fuck does that mean?
They're having a second child to it will end with one of them dying in a car crash? Yeah, seems totally logical.

I think you should ask MN to delete this thread now.

ronald have a very odd post.

Shitty thread.

Go learn about HG then you may find yourself being less vile in future

From someone who ended up in ICU because of HG

I had HG with my first three pregnancies and bad morning sickness with the fourth

With my first three I honestly thought I would die from it. I couldn't even keep water down. It was so bad I contemplated terminating which I then felt horribly guilty about. If I moved I was sick, if I ate I was sick, brushed my teeth=sick! it actually rotted some of my teeth it was so bad. I ended up in hospital and it was disgusting I felt extremely depressed and like my body was giving up.

With my fourth I felt sick all the time and vomited every so often but it was nothing as bad a s HG. I still needed anti sickness medication but I did not need to be hospitalised.

HG is not something you can put up with or work through it is absolutely horrendous

Or name change.

I'm no big fan of the royals, I don't much care for them. But bloody hell, a bit of understanding for a woman who us ill might be nice.

I spent a lot of time in hospital during one of my pregnancies for a different reason. There was however a lady in the ward who had hyperemisis, and her pregnancy was a living hell. She vomited so much that she was dangerously dehydrated. She had had so many drips in her veins that her veins were collapsing and they had to insert the drip into her feet instead of her hand. I don't suppose she went through all that just because she felt a bit queasy and didn't feel like going to work. If the Duchess of wherever you call it feels anything like that lady did, she has my every sympathy.

Piplypip this is just to acknowledge your post where you've said your OP was misguided.

It takes a big person to do that

I didnt mean to imply that HG is a walk in the park FGS! I have a close friend who ended up in hospital on a drip. I think I am just a bit jealous of the amazing care and sympathy she gets when everyone else is slogging out trying to get signed off work without incurring the wrath of your boss and trying to get midwives to take you seriously. I bet she doesnt have to spend 2 hours queuing to see a midwife next to someone eating a big stinky KFC.

just saw the comedian Rob deering make a similar comment on Facebook....

piplypip I have been surprised at your OP but even more that your next post.

found it difficult to stand up most of the time. All a bit of a nightmare and felt a bit too sorry for myself.
Just to say, if you were struggling to stand up and vomiting everyday then it was certainly more than 'a little of a nightmare' and you didn't feel 'too sorry for yourself'.
I get the feeling that someone thought it was Ok to get tell you 'to just get on with it' which was completely out of place and you have applied that experience to someone else (which happens to be KM)

YABU. I doubt you find it as irritating as she does.

yes, I've just noticed your second post too, and I wanted to apologise for jumping on your original post

You are right too that she no doubt has access to more medical care than most people.

You didn't "make light of it", though, OP. You stuck the knife in good and proper.
Catherine would probably have had her babies in the Lindo Wing whether she was married to a Royal or not.
Her parents set up and continue to run a very successful business, so she is from a wealthy family.
Katiekins
Perfect self
Mere mortals

You obviously don't like her/are jealous.
I'm sorry you suffered throughout your pregnancies, but just because someone is royal it doesn't stop them from being human too.

Not really is the spirit of the site though is it? being snarky about a pregnant woman's illness however serious or not you believe it to be.

If I may wade in here, I feel sorry for any woman who has HG; its clearly horrible.

But I struggle to feel sorry for any members of the Royal Family TBH, whatever the circumstance, because many of us mere mortals will have to go through the same life experiences at some point, but without the millions of pounds' worth of care and attention being lavished on us to help us cope.

Which is why I usually just avoid the Royal threads

Yes, but she is in the public eye and had to, like most Hg sufferers, announce her pregnancy earlier. Which sucks enough when your not in the public eye.

And tbh, I received some fantastic care during my HG but your to I'll too notice.
