Morning sickness and DH going to the rugby.

[mangocoveredlamb]

Every year DH and his mates go to the pub to watch the final of the six nations. He's leaving in ten mins and won't be home till midnight. And, despite me asking him to, he refused to ask the others to consider changing the venue to nearby so he could come home to do bedtime. He'll be a two hour train journey away. In his defence he has said he won't drink.

I'm 7 week pregnant and suffering from very severe sickness, on meds that aren't touching it.

We have a very active two year old.
MIL is useless so would be more hinderence than help and my parents are hosting a party.

AIBU to think that this year he shouldn't go?

I'm very glad you got some help op but please please go back to your GP if your meds are not working there are quite a few that work in different ways that are worth trying

Glad your DH is back. Take care - it's awful but the relief when it goes is amazing!

Hope you're feeling better soon OP.

Morning sickness is crapper than crap

And congratulations on your pregnancy!

HG is the pits and for the posters wondering about weird-sounding triggers (lifting up DD, for example), it's more than possible. In fact, any bracing and balancing movement is a bit risky...

My weirdest trigger was putting my hands into cold or lukewarm water. It's not just a jolt of nausea and a couple of dry heaves, people....I'd be retching pointlessly and painfully for anything up to half an hour (I may have pissed myself in public, too, but you didn't hear that, right...).
Think acid burns in the corners of your mouth, petachiae around your eyes, aching and muscle soreness from your lower jaw to your lower abs.

It's possible that what's bothering the OP is a fear of neglecting her DD, as I'm guessing she's still small and hasn't had too many CBeebies and toast days and OP thinks she'll be upset if she can't attend to her every whim. There were days when I let DS watch TV for hours and fed him toast and hummus (he was just short of two when I conceived DD) and I think he quite enjoyed it.
No permanent damage to his psyche, apart from the times he doubled over in the street and pretended to be sick, because that's what he saw me doing!

OP, hang on in there, review your meds, relax and your DH will be back before you know it.

My DS also used to pretend to be sick all of the time! I think he was quite upset by the whole thing.

I don't think my DS was upset, he seemed to think it was somethings grown-ups did!

He's nine now and I've just asked him if he was bothered: "I felt a bit sad, and I felt sorry for you, but I knew (DD's name) was coming so it wasn't serious." Dunno how much of that is him rewriting history...

I was very sick until around 35 weeks or so, so DS was 2.5 years and got to understand that there was a real live human in there causing all the fuss!

Glad you got some help mango and hope you feel better soon.

My older one (who was 18 months when I started puking everywhere) was quite upset and worried at the time because he was too young to understand the real meaning of 'new baby coming'. Don't think he was permanently scarred though. (Suddenly losing half my attention to a new baby... Now that did scar him )

YANBU - although skipping through later posts looks like you got some help which is great. It's the rugby. It's on tv, which presumably he could be watching at home. Yes, spending time with the boys is important but taking care of his partner and child should be taking priority. I do hope that you got the toddler to wake him up this morning and so the early shift X
