First bucket sighting at school this morning. My sister had norovirus last week after attending a party where some selfish buggers thought it was acceptable to bring along a vomiting toddler. Most of the other guests got the bug including an elderly man. Feel free to add your rants and worries here.

Dancegirl, I am the same, if I feel sick then I often think ' I would rather be dead than be sick'

Welcome to all the newcomers 
.
Becky ten in one class! I remember those days when DD was at junior school and the bugs would sweep through. She didn't always get it though, so fingers crossed for you that yours escape. If they are not in the same class then the odds are on your side.

Everyone on here understands the anxiety. The best thing to do to prevent the bug going round everyone is to wash the hands and faces of everyone in the house. This gets rid of the droplets and prevents it from being passed on. If you do this, then the great likelihood is that you won't get it. I usually do this with baby wipes as I can then throw them away.
Really hope he feels better soon.

alexle ,how old is your DS? chances are if he hasn't been sick since this morning he probably wont again, hopefully he will fall asleep soon and sleep it off (this is what my dd2 used to do), I always keep my dd's in their rooms when they are sick then at least its contained in one room, I always throw away any bedding that has been sick on, bleach any surfaces (hot soapy water and/or bleach is better than anything else), make sure your Dh is washing his hands too. A lot of stomach bugs such as rotrovirus (sp) adults are more likely to be immune too (you tend to get them a couple times as a child before building up immunity).
If you can get to a chemist you could buy yourself some anti sickness meds (which I linked too in a post above), I always take these when my dd's are ill and I have started feeling poorly and they do work, I took them when dd2 shared a bug with me a few years ago and I got through it without being sick (though I felt poorly but not half as bad).

Oh alexle you poor thing! That was me last weekend so you have ALL my sympathy. It really really hard but it will be over soon.
We are all better following the bug although DS who has never been a good eater seems to be retching on certain foods or having too much in his mouth which is not good for anxiety levels 
.
I'm also 6 weeks pregnant so ms has set in and feel nauseous all morning. It's making me constantly obsess about bugs how to avoid them and just reminding me of last weekend.
10 children sick in one class! That's horrible fingers crossed for your DC.
Does anyone know if you can buy antiviral hand wash/gel? Everything I was looking at today was antibacterial but most of these bugs are viruses.

I think you can get the anti viral hand gel online but not sure where, anti bac is a waste of time .
Fingers crossed for you alexle, hopefully you and your dh wont catch it but if you do you have the motilium to hand, hopefully your ds will be asleep when you get back and will be feeling better in the morning.
