To think shut the fuck up? (I am.) (Also gross post warning - sick)

[FourForYouGlenCoco]

So DH has picked up a D&V bug.

He is a really noisy puker. REALLY. He may as well sit there and shout.
Bathroom is next to bedroom.

Between 4am and now he's woken me up 4x, hurling copiously at top volume. Rather than feeling sympathetic and sorry for him I'm just laid here wishing he'd shut up. And feeling a bit pissed off that he's brought the dreaded lurgy into the house and therefore I'll be spending my morning disinfecting the entire sodding bathroom.

So AIBU to think he should learn to vom quietly like every other fucker?!

(In my defence, I have a 4yo and 3mo, and it's half term, so sleep is pretty precious right now, but even so, IABVU and a bitch, I know. Poor DH with his mean, unsympathetic wife )

Those of you who have had hyperemesis have obviously got it sussed, but then you will have had a lot more practice. I'm not often sick so have never had the opportunity to train myself to be quiet. I do hope I'm not a noisy vomiter though, I'd hate to think that other people could hear me.

Oh it's not the post groan or the pre cough, it's the shouty, rattly "bleu-euuuu-weuuu-weuuuu-reuuugghh-urrrgghh" noise. I can genuinely still hear it and I've not heard her be sick in at least 13 years.

Oh fuck i am pissing myself laughing at some of the replies thank you! I needed cheering up this morning

DH is a loud vommer. Sort of an UUUUUUUUURGH sounds that dramatically tails off in anticipation of the next wave.

He's got an annoying cough at the moment. I was being really understanding. Then i started thinking "shuddup" every time he did it. Now I've started muttering "shuddup" under my breath. I feel like a bad person but I hope he stops soon for both our sakes i'm not cut out for prison.

YABU. I vom like I'm invoking the devil and I hate it. I can't do it quietly and I also cry while it's happening. It's just one of those things!

Normally I'm just "puke 'n' go."

hah!

I had HG too and never worked out how to vom quietly

Bitch but I'm with you.

I am silent when I vom. Dh does this loud vomming then groaning.

Same as when he has a cough. It has to be over the top and loud when ds and I are doing little mouse coughs.

He's also the kind of person who can't walk quietly around the house. Has to stamp. Has to slam every fucking door or drawer too. And just has to slam down every cup or plate.

I love this post, I thought my ex was alone in puking so loudly as to wake me from the other end of the house throwing up (downstairs bathroom at the back of the house, through 4 closed doors!).

How can you have 'mild hyperemesis'? Isn't that an oxymoron ?

Nah even with hyperemesis there's degrees of it. I ended up in hospital on a drip early, then on two lots of drugs which stopped me hitting danger although I felt like utter shit. Stopped vomiting about 16 weeks. Friend also had it, couldn't be controlled by drugs at all, vomited right till birth and has ongoing aesophageal issues as a result. I was bad, she was worse.

There are degrees. I had it pretty bad for 5 months, a couple of friends had it much less one, way way worse.

But no hyperemesis is mild. It's extreme sickness hence the 'hyper' bit

That's true. Mild it ain't.

Dr put "mild hyperemesis" on my sick note. I think because the cyclizine I was in did stop most of the actual vomiting but not the constant nausea. What a fucking miserable time it was. Silent puker here btw!

But once you meet the criteria of hyperemesis that itself becomes a spectrum from mild to vile. So like Lemon mentions

There's no need for anyone to use vocal chords whilst vomiting.

I've got a loud yawner. He opens his mouth like a rhino and off he goes waaaaAAAHHHH

I hate people who yawn whilst talking. STOP TALKING and finish your yawn then continue

Goodness The Loud Yawner! You wouldn't do that in a library, during a minute's silence, in a meeting, why are you doing it at home?! It's so uncalled for.

After a conversation I had at playgroup this morning, am wondering if this is someone I know!

I sympathise. My DH had a coil,e of odd episodes, throwing up at full volume, like a roar. Drove me nuts, whilst equally feeling very sorry for him, given how much I hate throwing up.

*couple

White noise to conceal it a bit?

Or maybe some loud Spanish music

I wrote 'mild' hyperemesis because that's what was written on my notes. Trust me, it didn't feel mild! But it eased off after 26 weeks, I only threw up about once or twice a day after that. I was like that kid in the Exorcist during labour though.

A friend of mine who had hyperemesis was admitted to hospital a few times throughout her pregnancy, and another woman I met when I was getting DC weighed after birth had a c-section several weeks early because they were so concerned about her and the baby because of her hyperemesis. So on that scale I guess what I had was mild.

Dont worry OP
My DH had D&V two weeks ago - my DS was 3 weeks old. We live on a narrowboat, so I quarantined DH at one end, with a bottle of lucozade, the dog for company and a bottle of bleach. He was given strict instructions to stay in his cabin, bleach everything he touched should he need to come out, and DS and I entered and exited the boat via a side hatch, rather than go near DH at the back of the boat.

And I was so angry with him for bringing the bug home / paranoid about him infecting us with a new baby on board, I came and stayed with my mum - 200 miles away- for a week.

If you're BU, I'm definitely about to get some shit thrown At me for not being sympathetic to DH
