Just wondering if anyone has any sort of explanation for this - my ds2 (age2) has been vomitting since Monday night - seems to have stopped now, thank goodness. It has completely tied me to the house (I have no family locally and no neighbours) and I have had to cancel all plans for a week. Dh has (thankfully) been able to drop ds1 and dd at school and nursery and other people have helped with pickups. I have been out on 3 occasions, for about an hour at a time, when the little one has been up to it, just to pick up one of the others. But it felt SO strange, like I had been ill myself. I felt all shaky and everything out of proportion. I have lost my appetite and 2lbs. I know it's not unusual as a friend has said she experienced the same thing, and my mother when my brother was ill as a toddler. Why does it happen? I feel really thrown, and am quite nervous about getting back into the swing of my busy life.
