Where's the most embarrasing place you've thrown up?

[JoniR]

I threw up on the bus on the way to work this morning. I'm mortified! Luckily I had a carrier bag in my pocket and I was able to throw up into that, but there was loads of it and it stank and I'm sure everyone was staring at me. Then I had to carry the horrible stuff with me when I got off the bus.

I can't be alone, so where is the most embarrasing place you've thrown up?

[HappilyChatterly]

I'd taken the morning off to go to 20week scan with DH, the bus route went straight past work. I had to get off the bus as I knew I was going to be sick. I was vomiting violently on my hands and knees, I lok up and my manager and senior are stood across the road having a fag looking at me in horror. The bus driver drove off despite DHs pleas. We made small talk across the road with each other until anothere bus came along, mercifully soon after.

It was horrible, but I think it helped them be a bit more understanding when I was late for work because of sickness.

I came within an inch of being sick in my Boss's office. Thank God I managed to rush out of the room and the loo was close!

[Sultanajo]

I am loving the Dogs Head! Poor dog!

Just stopped after training all day at a little chef after a 3 hour car journey at 12 weeks - was in that "ravenous but may vom" stage. Wolfed down my dinner and it was only during the last mouthful I thought "uhoh" - ran towards the toilets taking deep breaths, but unfortunately the smell of the air freshener that you could smell before you even got to the toilets made me heave....I suspect the diners sitting near the toilets heard me vomming in the toilet. Everytime I thought I had finished it would start again because of the stupid air freshener - it was like a vicious cycle!!!

[Layl77]

Out of the door/window of my car lots of times. Used to pull over, vom and drive on.
Shop floor was pretty grim I'd just eaten and took one sight of the food. After that I used to go straight for the little bags in the fruit& veg aisle and throw up into them hiding behind my trolley.

[ShadeofViolet]

In Wickes while shopping for a new kitchen.

[catslave]

Not pg related, but I have just recalled a spectacular vom of ds's.

He ate an entire Sunday dinner, then 10 seconds later puked in back up onto his plate. It looked pretty much the same as when it went it, just mushed up a bit.

Put dh off roast for ages...

[Purplefrogshoe]

In sainsburys beside the pet food, in court where I work, that was particularly embarrassing as court was very busy and I was desperately trying to hold it back until I caught the eye of the magistrate as your not allowed just to stand up and leave while court is in session, I was excused from court work for the rest of my pregnancy ;) I was sick just about everywhere, morning sickness is awful

[BergholtStuttleyJohnson]

Asda carpark, it went all over my shoes, clothes and hair too. I stank so bad! I was mortified so walked the five miles home in the dark rather than get a bus reeking of puke. I was five weeks pregnant.

[kitstwins]

When pregnant with my twins I had horrible ms and was commuting ever morning. Even worse, my sense of smell is massively heightened during pregnancy so I could just smell people. I'd get on the tube and just smell hair or breath or clothes. I could smell what people had eaten for breakfast! Christ, even now (8 years later) the memory of it makes my gorge rise.
Week 14, a packed tube full of people and their hair and I could feel it coming between Gloucester Road and South Ken. Never has a stop felt so long coming. I practically fell out of the carriage when the doors open and proceeded to puke and retch loudly and endlessly in front of the packed carriage, on my hands knees on the platform. I'd been eating Jacob's Crackers on the way in to try and alleviate the nausea so this huge lump of mushed cracker just rolled back up followed by everything I'd ever eaten. I was like an animal.
The shame of it afterwards was awful as I just felt people probably thought I was drunk or hungover.

It used to take me ages to get to work as I was forever jumping off tube trains after each stop to retch into a bag get my breath back.

[JugglingFromHereToThere]

Somewhere on the London underground on a tube train.
Worst thing was our bestman told the story in his speech on our wedding day, supposedly to illustrate how I am always so calm under pressure!
Hey, I though you're meant to be telling stories about him not me
And implying I might have had too much to drink, whereas actually I was suffering with one of the worst cases of food poisoning I've ever had.
(honest guv)
I felt too ill to be embarrassed but I think we did get out at the next stop anyway.

:-)

I threw up in a bush on the way home from the pub (looked like I was drunk). And inside my favourite Gap jumper when getting dressed in the morning. Half way over my head......

[curiousgeorgie]

I used to work in TV and was working on a cookery show with hg.

They were revealing a roasted chicken or something equally greasy (that had actually been sitting there under hot lights all day) and the smell hit me and I started loudly wretching and promptly threw up behind a monitor.

Unfortunately it was very loud and was clearly picked up by the presenters mic, who then had to apologise on air.. "Excuse that noise if you can hear it, that's just my floor manager throwing up at the back of the studio... Now, about this chicken!"

Mortifying. The director was screaming at me through my ear piece and all the camera guys were laughing!!

[froken]

I had to have about 5 seperate blood tests at 12 weeks due to family blood clotting issues. The nurse was busy taking blood, the needle was in my arm, I couldn't move without the needle being ripped out of my arm.

I kept sayin

"I feel really sick"
"dp I feel really really sick"
"retch...dp... retch...dp...I feel sick"

He just kept patting me and holding my hand, I had to actually say "I'm going to BE sic!!" before he got me a hospital sick bag. I puked in the sick bag whilst the poor nurse took the rest of the blood. I gave the bag to dp and he tried to tie it in a knot and tipped the vomit all over the floor.

The only thing that stopped me feeling sick was full sugar coke, I tried really hard to not drink it too often but that day I drank a can and had a sugery bun. We then had our 12 week scan and the fetus was jumping around my womb. I was so worried that my coke consumption had broken my baby.

[IneedAsockamnesty]

My first child. DR had been treating me a bit like a over dramatic child but in reality I had HG.

I had puked at the top of the stairs promptly passed out and fallen down the stairs so in a heap still retching. My dad loaded me into the car to take me to DR I had to wait in the waiting room for him to be available.

Cue puking again and passing out again in a pile if foamy puke so I'm led on the floor unable to stop retching and shaking and by this point had become a little delirious I had to see the dr in the actual waiting room where he made me drink a full cup of water after actually man handling me up of course said water did a very quick and forceful rebound right in the DR's face and rather interestingly dripped in a very slimey sort of a way all down his front and pooled in his crotch.

And after labor it was puking that helped my placenta out it landed on the end of the bed in a wobbly mess.

[honey86]

tell a lie it was a few weeks ago arriving back from holiday. plane had alot of turbulence as we landed, kept swaying n dipping... then bounced as it touched down...

~bump~ ~bump~

luckily easyjet have little sick bags behind the seats so i heaved in that. it was a cram-packed flight and i was sat next to a stranger.

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

I threw up on a Delta airlines flight coming into Heathrow from NY. We circled for ages and, yes I was pg at the time but also am not a great traveller. I threw up spectacularly and simultaneously pissed the seat

[IfAtFirstUDontSucceed]

Nowhere embarrassing, but I learnt when pregnant that you can't discreetly throw up in to a tissue even with a supposedly empty stomach!
My car was a mess!

[kalidasa]

I had HG and was in hospital a lot. To be honest the worst was in hospital - I would throw up EVERY TIME they brought food round for the others in my bay and despite my pleas they would almost never remember to draw my curtains first so my poor ward-mates had to try to muster some appetite to the sound/sight of me hurling yet again.

Then I'd ring the bell and a nurse would eventually arrive and poke around in the vomit (just acid and saliva as couldn't eat at all) to determine whether she could see the latest anti-emetic they had given me (the irony!). The rule seemed to be that if they could recognise it I could have another . . .

Also threw up everywhere in labour - including all over the floor - but that wasn't so bad as I didn't really feel sick, I just WAS sick.

[ChrisTheSheep]

In a bin, in the middle of a very smart street in St Petersburg. DH was worried that we'd be arrested for being drunk and disorderly (we weren't, but I was 12 wks pregnant), and I just hung onto bin, hueying and claiming that I knew how to say in Russian that I had morning sickness. I couldn't, but I wasn't leaving the bin in a hurry....

[PickledMoomin]

In church. I told my parents I was poorly but they made me go.
It was a memorial service. There were hundreds of people and it was the noisiest puke ever witnessed by man.

[SugarMiceInTheRain]

I'd just arrived in Hong Kong, jetlagged and laden with cases and 22 weeks pregnant. I threw up all over the bus from the airport to DH's friend's house. Mortified doesn't even begin to describe it. Even DH and his friend looked embarrassed. A kind Chinese lady handed me a pack of tissues, but the whole pack of tissues was still inadequate for the colossal clean-up job required

[handcream]

Went into labour, decided to have a bath, body in shock, DH thinking he knew it all, said I needed to call the hospital myself as the 'training' had said midwives could tell whether you were in labour by how you sounded over the phone. Took the phone and was sick all of him (good!) and the phone (not so good as it had to be thrown away). Not surprisely no one wanted to use it afterwards even though I cleaned it up....

[smellysock]

Basically in every corner of my classroom, bin, sink, cupboard, poor little kids got to the stage where they didn't even notice "Miss" not feeling too good. Made for speedy & interesting labour as still hg to the end and wretching so violently poor DD2 came out with a massive whoosh as I threw up all over hospital blinds, floor, down back of the bed! Often think of poor cleaning lady who went into that room after my carnage!
