to find royal morning sickness irritating

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.

To have more children I assume

Greyhound · 08/09/2014 21:30

I feel for her and thinks she's bloody brave to have another baby.

DanyStormborn · 08/09/2014 21:42

I actually feel really sorry for her. I have felt pretty crap in this pregnancy but the idea of being so sick you need to be put on a drip and that it threatens the health of the baby sounds truly awful, I'm impressed she's willing to go through that twice in two years. I was telling DH a few weeks ago that I was never being pregnant again because of morning sickness!

littleducks · 08/09/2014 21:43

Figrus- because the end result is a child who you hope and dream to have years with. HG is horrific but as time passes you forget quite how bad it is rather like labour pains and you know that it is a for a finite amount of time. Being ill doesn't stop you wanting siblings for your child.

Discopanda · 08/09/2014 21:55

Pregnancy SUCKS, squeezing a baby out of your hoohah SUCKS and a year (or twelve) of sleepless nights and being covered in bodily fluids constantly SUCKS so let's all stop comparing who had a worse time and just be supportive of each other! Personally, I didn't get morning sickness with my first, don't have it atm with number two but we need to have a bit of sympathy for other women whether we have the same experience or not. FYI I am so full of angry pregnant hormones right now and all I want is a glass of wine, which of course I can't have for blimming weeks!

hyperemesis can be endured because the reward at the end is so worthwhile.

hyperemesis, huge episiotomies due to 3 x almost 10lb babies, emergency blood transfusion after 1st delivery, temporary incontinence ALL worth it for my lovely DC

wheresthebeach · 08/09/2014 22:47

Wow...so unkind. Poor woman has HG. How bout some sympathy. If a man had started this thread just imagine....

Gennz · 08/09/2014 22:53

I've been sick all the way through my pregnancy (am 28 weeks) with the exception of a couple of weeks between 22 - 25.

I vom violently every morning and then feel queasy for the rest of the day. I also work full-time. I don't have HG.

If I was Kate I'd absolutely be putting my feet up at Kensington Palace, I don't begrudge her it at all - I can't imagine feeling worse than I do now (though I know HG is far worse). Poor cow.

basgetti · 08/09/2014 22:55

Figrus in my case I wasn't going to get pregnant again. But 6 years after my first HG pregnancy I had an unexpected pregnancy and subsequent MC. I started longing for another baby and my memories of just how bad HG was had faded with time. I'm not coping well though, this will definitely be my last time.

wheresthelight · 08/09/2014 23:00

Yabvu and ridiculously insensitive

HG cam kill mum and baby if bot treated. I was unable to work from week 8 to week 15 of pregnancy as I was completely unable to move, breathe deeply, speak without throwing up. my sofa was 6 foot from the toilet (small flat) and I couldn't make the toilet. I couldn't stand for more than 2-3 minutes before coming over feint.

whoopee bloody doo that you were martyr enough to work through a bit of feeling sick.

surely there are enough people out there ready to criticise without other mums doing it too! Catherine is human and fallible just like all of us.

grow up

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/09/2014 23:15

Oh I love royal bashing threadsGrin

crazylady321 · 08/09/2014 23:36

I suffered with bad morning sickness all way through 2 of my pregnancys (not hyperemsis I may add) but it was bad enough I feel for anyone who has it worse than me

puddymuddles · 08/09/2014 23:43

I am not that interested in the royals in general but do feel sorry for her as hyperemisis is worse than normal morning sickness. I feel lucky that I didn't have any sickness at all in both my pregnancies.

Toofattorun · 08/09/2014 23:59

Are we still allowed to say ODFOD?

If so, I'm taking to you, OP.

Toofattorun · 09/09/2014 00:00

Talking even.

Oh and by the way, have a fucking biscuit.

DinoSnores · 09/09/2014 10:28

figrus, because I forget how bad it is, because we've decided that 9 months of struggling is worth it for a child that we'll have (hopefully, we sadly know that this isn't always the case) for our whole lives, because I have lost a baby and want a large family.

LiberalLibertines · 09/09/2014 10:48

It's not fucking morning sickness.

These threads are so crappy,I dread to think what new members make of this site these days, is full of spiteful bitchy wankers.

So Kate love,- we really don't care.

I'm sure she doesn't care either whether you are or not. :)

It's the bloody media and people who are overly invested in this stuff. Even to put her down. Grin

LWeji yes the media! and the cap doffing sycophants on threads like thisSmile

basgetti · 09/09/2014 11:09

I've defended Kate on this thread. I'm a republican, but also a pregnant woman who knows how utterly shit HG is.

Lweji · 09/09/2014 11:09

Personally, I don't give her more of my time than to any other woman on MN who as a problem. FGS, I even post on threads about Hs who drink their wive's coke botles.
As many other women here.

But I find it distasteful that people put down anyone just because they are in the public eye.
And even more so when they have a problem.

somewheresafe · 09/09/2014 11:11

It's not the media's fault completely. They could be kept quiet a bit longer or at least spared us the news that's she's poorly. They did this last time and she recovered a week later. As a HG sufferer myself I think she had bad morning sickness but not HG. HG is completely debilitating and you hardly ever recover after a few weeks in hospital. Are the PR team wanting maximum royal sympathy perhaps?

having said that congrats to them both and I hope all goes well. Please let's not discuss this for another 9 months.

Celticlass2 · 09/09/2014 11:29

bags I'm sure she appreciates your concern.SmilePersonally I would save my sympathy for women out there who have real jobs and lives and children/elderly parents to look after while just having to get on with it.she will have access to the best medical care possible.,_ not something the vast majority of us will ever experience!
