WIBU to ask DP to go out and buy my list of foods I might be able to eat...

7 weeks pregnant and today nausea has taken the leap to actual vomiting. Have had a HORRIBLE day as DS (13 months) has been scared and cried every time I've been sick and I've felt guilty that I've been totally useless as a mum. I also had severe HG and ended up in hospital with DS and feel a bit terrified the same is going to happen again. Sad

DP bless him came home cooked dinner for DS and himself and sent me to bed. He did the bath and bed routine too and has just gone for his post work 'pop break'!

I'm FINALLY starting to feel like I could eat but only the thought of a specific list of things are not turning my stomach and we have none of them in...

Would I really be taking the piss if I asked him to nip to the shop and get me some bits? I would, wouldn't I?

I miss what pregnancy did for my diet. All fried food made me ill, I couldn't eat sugary stuff because it messed with my blood sugar and made me feel sick, I was on iron tablets so had to watch the timing of my dairy intake hence no milky tea and bun for breakfast/break and after about 5 months the DTs were enorm and my stomach was squashed so basically all I could eat was like small balanced meals with no pudding. It was as if I'd actually read some of the pregnancy books' section on diet and taken it seriously.
Then after the DTs were born I had this minty aero, and I was like "just this one minty aero and then I go back to my new healthy eating habits" and now it is 3 years and two dress sizes later. Doh!

Haha. Pregnancy is a funny old thing. Grin@ Isle of Wight ferry muffins!

A week or so ago I was panicky because I didn't feel sick (obviously was so sick with DS, felt it was a bad sign) yesterday reminded me of the true horror that was HG- it was no where near as bad but the whole day of sickness and nausea brought back some scary memories!

DP brought home about 70 litres of lucozade and I cannot stop drinking it. I also are all of the tuc biscuits in one sitting

Feeling much better today so hoping to make DP something nice for dinner- even if I can't eat it later!

I still felt a bit guilty about not doing anything all day but he told me that growing a person is 'something' so to stop being silly.

sorry, no brothers Grin

Growing a person is 'something' what a sweetie your DH is!!

I wish he'd been able to tell my DH that when I had months off work with HG and he asked me what I'd done all day. Was pretty demoralising. "Kept your child alive" was my usual retort so I love what your DH thinks about what a special job you are doing. Best of luck with the HG Flowers and pregnancy

I spent a week at one point eating only pom bears, and cried when DP wanted a packet, even though we'd just bought about four multipacks... YANBU!

my DD was nurtured only on Tayto cheese & onion crisps and mint Viscounts between weeks 8 and 12.
