How can I manage my sickness at a wedding?

[LittleMachine]

I'll be 8 weeks at the wedding I'm going to (full day and overnight). I've got HG, which I'm managing with medication and the sickness has reduced to probably 'normal' pregnancy sickness.

I am finding that although I don't keep much food down throughout the day, if I don't eat very regularly (every half an hour or so), I get dizzy and feel very sick very quickly.

Obviously a constant supply of food won't be about at the wedding. Can anyone think of any sickness and handbag
friendly secret snacks I could stash? Obviously I will make sure I know where the toilets are and try and sit where I can leg it off if I'm going to be sick. Nobody at the wedding knows I'm pregnant (apart from DP).

I'm going to be the worst wedding guest ever There'll be threads about me!

Ugh, sorry to hear you're suffering so much. Hope it passes soon.

Get a really good nights sleep the night before, take a box of Ritz crackers in your bag and sit as much as you can.

Maybe say to a couple of people that you've got a bug so they don't expect you to stay late or be dancing on the tables.

Take crisps and munch - constantly! Travel sweets also worked for me.

You'll only be the worst wedding guest if you announce your pregnancy!!!! Pretty sure the bride won't want upstaging!

Hope you feel better soon, remember the feeling well. Any consolation, mine disappeared overnight by 14 weeks. Then you'll feel amazing

Thanks for the advice. I don't want anyone to notice me eating and think that I'm really rude!
It's all based in one hotel and we've got a room so that might make it easier to sneak off maybe.

Frisson this is my second baby and I had HG right through with my first, but I'll still take some hope from you

And you're right about the bride - she told me I'm not allowed to get married this year because she is. I don't think she was joking.

Oh you poor thing..all the way through? Jeez. Don't know how you coped.

I always describe it as the worst hangover you can imagine...which never goes away! Shudder! Or like being seasick.

Hahahaha. No. She probably wasn't!

Mind you. I'm getting married in 3 weeks. I'm having nerves about someone announcing a pregnancy, or using my wedding day to get engaged, or wearing white and looking better than I do..I think it's all just bridal nerves! I'd love to say I'd be one of those brides who would simply be happy for someone else to announce happy news, but actually, I'd be thinking, could you not have picked one of the other 363 days this year?!

Oh no, I had this exact problem when I was 9 weeks pregnant, and I had to be photographer for the day so I couldn't even sneak home early! I won't lie, it was awful. So much so that 3 people guessed but luckily kept it to themselves! Anyway, I got through it by sneaking a pack of haribo's in my handbag that I kept eating throughout the service, and then all night I was eating lemon slices from the bar. No fizzy drinks obviously, that will make you feel worse. Try to stay away from the speakers at the reception because the vibrations might trigger it. And yes definitely try to sit near the toilets. You can claim a UTI if anyone is suspicious... no-one wants to question a water infection. Good luck!

Poor you ! Sweeties might be more discrete during the service, but maybe try and sit at the back in case you have to leg it. After service go up to room to have a quick snack of crackers or something. If you really feel unwell then just get oh to apolgise for you and stay up there! You can always blame it on a uti or tummy bug as others have said. As an aside I think there has been some research about b vitamins helping with morning sickness that you might want to ask your doc about.

Frisson, good luck with your wedding, hope you have a lovely day. Thanks for the further advice. I'll have to find a reasonably sized wedding bag!
Luckily the service itself won't be very long.

Boiled sweets seem to ease my nausea a little, and are far more subtle during the service than crisps!

I am 8 weeks too and attending a wedding tomorrow. I have discretely told (two weeks ago), the two couples I will be sat on a table with so I can usethem for cover.

Whilst Idont have HG (and really feel for you!!), I do have this constant lowlevel nausea. I plan to do the same and nibble a LOT, I've also found that mints help, so will suck on those regularly.

Good luck!
