Am now 30 weeks. Terrible sickness since the start. Have just been sick so hard that the toilet water splashed back and got me in the eye. Adding insult to injury I have apparently lost all ability to effectively control my bladder so I was sat on the floor in front of the toilet with soggy knickers and sicky toilet water in my eye still wrenching up every last little bit of my dinner.

I decided to laugh at the situation because I figured by that stage it was really quite comical and couldn't get much worse.

Come on mums and mums to be, tell me a story that beats that one and make me feel a bit better!?

I don't think I can beat that but that is amazing and so relatable 🤣🤣. I feel for you totally!

Oh wow, that it tough going, you poor thing.
And a really long time to still be getting sick. Must be exhausting. I was never sick but had very painful sciatica from 20 weeks onwards. The lovely people on the train would keep offering me a seat, but 5 minutes later I'd have to stand again as I was in too much pain... and then someone else would offer me a seat🤣

Dd1 is now 11 but when pregnant with her I had HG. I once at 30 weeks had to get a train to another city for work, about an hours journey. There were no seats and the conductor came up to offer me a seat in first class. At which point I vomited all over him Blush.

@CuckooSings ooh that's quite bad. And does strangely make me feel a damn sight better as I've actually made it to the toilet at least!

DD is 5 now but I tell this tale of my labour woe everytime. My family (mum, stepdad and sister) were in the room with me in the birthing suite. My waters broke and I farted very loudly, repeatedly for about a minute. Then I was given gas and air which made my nauseous, the nurse turned to give that cardboard kidney thingy and I puked on her arm missing the kidney. sigh Then I needed to go to the loo, but the nurses were faffing about worrying about me going loo so as soon as I stood up whoooosh pee everywhere. Then I puked again because I don't even know why. I lost all sense of shame that night.😐🤣

My cat had crapped behind the telly so I squatted down to pick it up. The smell was so awful to my pregnant nose that I was heaving and of course squatting and heaving while up the duff resulted in me pissing myself. What a great afternoon that was.
