So, I'm 40 weeks pregnant and the sickness is LONG gone so I can laugh about it now. Embarrassing sickness #1..in heron buying some ginger biscuits thinking it would help with nausea!! Started feeling like I was gonna faint halfway round, got to the till after standing in a long que, had to crouch on the floor to bag my shopping as standing was no longer an option, in my most lady like manner I shouted BIN at the cashier and proceeded to hurl violently infront of some horrified customers :-D. #2 walking to work at 7 in the morning just after new year, got halfway to work and that was it! Sat on the edge of the curb dry heaving! Passers by must have thought I was hungover, proceeded to ring boyfriend who came to the rescue with digestive biscuits.
Anyone else in public?

Funny thread Grin

Not vomming but dry heaving in a work meeting with 8 quite old, very senior Japanese men, all board members. Tried to pretend I was coughing but then just looked completely bonkers. Silence broken only by gagging / fake coughing noises was deafening.

In my previous job as a nursery assistant. Holding a small girl on the loo while she did a massive stinky poo. I managed to hold it in and as soon as she was done I threw up in the sink next to her! She looked very surprised, but it could've been a lot worse, I almost threw up down her back!

Should try working at lidl when your on a morning shift from 6 am and you've been dry heaving since 4 am! Then like clockwork all the alcoholic tramps que up outside at 8 am stinking of piss, some shit, stale fags and with orange nicotine stained fingers paying you £2.29 in pennies and 2 pences for their cider! Very very hard job at times. Bleugh! They'd be there for ages polluting the atmosphere, I think I may have turned green a few times.

In a class in front of six 50yo men. I was their teacher.

Just managed to garble out , "I can vomit on you or you can open the doors and I'll vomit on the street, your choice" to an uncooperative female bus driver while we were at red lights. Then I sat on the curb with my head between my knees dry heaving. Classy.

Went for lunch at il's, loys of family there including sil with five kids. Threw up on the youngest child, then aged 6m, as I was holding her to 'practise'. Luckily sil saw the funny side as I was mortified.

Threw up into my hands in the middle of a busy street. No one helped. I had to carry it to a bin and scrape of my hands, then fumble round my bag for a hanky. Rancid.

I was already quite windy early on in pregnancy, so ofyen when I blew chunks, I also farted. I live in a small town, DS is 18mo, I still get funny looks from people and a wide berth Blush

I've posted this before but worst for me was at the aquarium in Barcelona.

I had been sick numerous times around the city and started to feel a bit better. I leant over a little bridge over the stingray pool and was sick in the water. It just came from nowhere. Cue lots of stingrays flocking around my vomit in front of hundreds of visitors and some shocked aquarium staff.

It was mortifying

In Ikea. Have you tried going against the flow of people and looking for the 'shortcuts' in a desperate attempt to reach the toilets in time? I ended up grabbing one of their big plastic waste paper bins on the way because it is almost impossible to navigate Ikea in reverse whilst heaving.

I also had to drag my DDs into the family toilets in John Lewis and try to angle the pushchair so that neither of them could watch me vomit. I clearly hadn't done a brilliant job as DD1 expected a full blown conversation about what I was doing and why in between each heave Hmm

I've lost count of the number of times that I've thrown up in Tesco and B&Q.

I fainted whilst DH was laying a wreath for Remembrance Sunday then came round dry heaving. Very respectful.

I also used to have a vomit bowl with me in theatre and had to excuse myself regularly whilst trying to look after patients. It was either that or patients had to have their operations cancelled. It's not exactly a professional look.

In my mums car two days ago. Thank god she had a bag in the front! LOL. I have only been a few times so far, but this was the worst. It just came out of nowhere! haha

Willdoitinaminute · 31/05/2013 14:52

My sis threw up on my front lawn getting out of the car when pregnant with dd2. My DH was amazed that she sat down and ate fish and chips 5 mins later without batting an eyelid.

Behind a tree in an insanely posh part of Belize park- and over that same week I got a full house of stations on the northern line between Leicester sq and Brent cross (excluding mornington crescent sadly!) I see it as a winGrin

When getting a load of dirty washing together, I lent over the laundry basket and the smell instantly made me vom. Luckily the washing was already dirty but having to sort through didn't help my nausea. I'm so glad I'm past that stage now ( although late pregnancy does bring a whole new world of symptoms!)

Futterby · 31/05/2013 15:16

I did something similar willdoitinaminute. My mum and I were in a café (thankfully near the toilets) when half of my lunch decided to make an appearance. Ran to the toilets and didn't quite make it in time so most of my puke missed the toilet and hit the floor/sanitary bin. Puked a few more times in the toilet, cleaned myself (and the floor) up, went back and finished my lunch Grin I know the staff in the café as I pretty much grew up there and they all laugh about it when they see me Grin

wereonourway your story is a winner for me! Poor u how embarrassing

Cornwall73 · 31/05/2013 18:07

Just outside a tube station during evening rush hour in February. I had just got off the tube whilst having really enjoyed eating a juicy piece of fruit during the journey. As soon as I walked out of the station the vomit came from nowhere! Everyone around me gave me a wide berth but a young couple came to my rescue. In between throwing up I explained I was okay and just pg with twins at which point I triggered lots of 'congratulations!' Cries from them. Core muscles not what they used to be, I then proceeded to have a leakage problem and peed myself. I think I put them off kids for life!!

Lol great thread.
I had 4 embarrassing public vomit attacks with DS1.

  1. Walked passed a Kabab shop where loads of students where outside and Vomited on the pavement in front of them

  2. In tescos; passed the cooked chicken counter & got sick all over the floor

  3. ouside a busy pub - I was passing and the smell of beer made me sick in the curb - always good when people are smoking outside.

  4. and this has to be the worst ever, a week before I gave birth my and DP went to wagamumas. It was a busy Friday night and I was squashed next to strangers on their little benches. My meal arrived and with no warning I got sick in my meal and all over the table. I shouted for DP to help me so he handed me a glass - which had water in!!!
    I struggled to climb out the bench seating whilst vomiting then ran to the loos still being sick! It was summer and after hiding in the toilet for 15 mins I had to walk home covered in sick. Still mortified lol
