What is your most embarrassing morning sickness story?

Question

By embarrassing I mean if you didn't make it to the bathroom, if you made it to the bathroom in an embarrassing way, or if there were other people around you when you were barfing or when you were runing to the bathroom.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I honestly feel like this one is worth "best answer." With my oldest, I was about 26 weeks, and had been in the hospital with a kidney infection. What a viscious circle THAT was - sick and vomiting so I couldn't keep down fluids so I couldn't flush my system so I kept vomiting so I kept getting more dehydrated... Anyhow, after the doctors cleared me up and sent me home, I hadn't thrown up in about a week and I was craving fish. So my dh took me to Long John Silver's for lunch. I ate half a piece of fish and knew what was coming. The joint only had the kind of bathroom with no stalls, just a door that locks, a toilet and a sink. Well, some lady was already in there and HAD NOT LOCKED THE DOOR! I was in no condition to knock, so I just barreled in there, took one look at the poor lady on the toilet, and hurled in the sink. Embarrassing for me, yes, but try to imagine this story from the lady on the toilet's point of view.

Answer 2

I had horrible morning sickness with both my pregnancies. The worst part was I had just started my first child on baby food. She need encouragement to eat it so we would tell her how great it was and that it was so yummy. Well the look of it turned my stomach and the smell made me gag every time. So I would have to get her meals ready by the sink so I could lean over and gag or barf every few minutes. Then as I was feeding her and trying to tell her how great it was, I would stick my head in the garbage can , which was permanently relocated right beside the table, and barf. I would always remember to emerge with a huge smile on my face. I guess she was convinced. It was a show for everyone else.

I can't tell you how many time I got sick in the car. I always had a supply of garbage bags of to-go cups that I would use. I got plenty of stares from the other people in the parking lot.

Well, I usually get sick in the afternoon and it lasts until the evening. I work in Manhattan and live in the Bronx so my train ride is about 45 minutes, usually at the time I am not feeling too hot. One day last week I was feeling really sick and was really scared to take the train feeling the way I was. I called my boyfriend and he told me to just stay near the doors (the ones in between the cars) and if I feel sick to step outside, if I can't get off the train. Well, I was near the doors and I felt as if I was going to pop right there, I turn around and the doors already closed so I couldn’t get off the train so I went in between the cars. I stayed there for a few minutes until it passed and then went back in the car. There was this lady who was being so freaking nosy and she turned around and asked if I needed to get off the train. I told her, no I am fine I am just pregnant. Then she got real rude with me and told me that she knew exactly what I was going through because she had a 7 months old at home and that I should be going in and out the cars (which I agree but I only did it once). This lady really wanted me off the train! (Those of you who do not know, if there is a medical emergency on the train, it creates havoc) Meanwhile, EVERYONE on the train turned and looked at the crazy chick because at this point I was so aggravated with this nosy lady that I was just ripping her a new one. I guess it is not that embarrassing because I didn't get sick but almost, lol.

Answer 4

I work as a Receptionist for a radio station, and about 3 weeks ago I was opening everything up (front door was already unlocked). I took a sip of water and the next thing I knew I was grabbing the garbage can running to the closet (I'm WAAAYYYYY to far from the bathroom). I was in there for what seemed FOREVER! As soon as I was done and walked back out into the lobby, everyone from work started walking in. Needless to say, if I would have waited 1 more minute to drink that water... all of my employees would have heard be up-chucking... at that time only my boss knew I was pregnant... now everyone knows- which is good because everyone is so understandable when I "don't feel good"

Answer 5

How funny you ask that, makes me remember the time I was about 8 months pregnant and had gone to dinner with my husband, Chinese food no less. At the time we had moved in with his parents while our house was being finished. It was late and had just settled into bed and before I could say or do anything I felt sick, sicker than I have ever felt before I didn't even make it off the bed before I starting whaling which continued down the hall past the two bedrooms and into the bathroom. I was so loud I woke his parents up and it was a site to see. The thing that was more nasty was she had to clean it up and it stunk and was chunky. I was soooooo sick she make me sit in the tub and take a bath. Has anyone seen the movie Witches of Eastwick with Jack Nicholson, there is a scene in the movie were the witches make one of the other ones sick from vomiting up cherries everywhere because the were jealous of her, well it was like that but worse!!!

Answer 6

I have two.

1. I was on the city bus going home from work. We were at a light, in between stops. A guy in front of me asked to get off since we were stopped. the bus driver told him no because it wasn't an 'actual' stop. At that same moment, I felt the urge to throw up. Obviously pregnant (about 7 months), I asked if I could get off because I was gonna be sick. The driver said no and I puked everywhere! LOL a lady behind me said I shoulda puked on HIM!

2. I was working at a call center at the time (thank God I'm outta there!). I felt I was going to be sick, but I couldn't let the customer go yet because she was asking me something about her account. I told her I needed to place her on hold while I looked for the information. LOL, I went to the bathroom and puked, came back and finished the call.

Answer 7

I wasn't lucky enough to have just morning sickness. I was sick allllllll of the time. I worked through my entire pregnancy as a paramedic. I was on a very bad call where a girl was smashed pretty badly. I recieved help from a local fire department when they had just returned from a huge structure fire. They were also wet and stinky having been covered with soot, sweat, and funk from the fire. Several climbed in the back of my rig smelling worse than the filthies dog. I had just eaten and it turned my stomach. I opened the side door of the ambulance to wretch and didn't look where I aimed... BLUSHES... I threw up on the fireman's boots because he was standing in my way.

Answer 8

I had really bad morning sickness for about 6 months of my pregnancy.
One day at work, i knew i had to be sick but tried to put if off while i was serving a customer, but i couldnt.
I went out the back, and was sick in the kitchen bin, right infront of the big boss who was visiting the store.

Another time, we were cooking fish, salad etc with friends and i couldn't hold it and vomitted in the laundry, while trying to make it to the bathroom, infront of atleast 4 people.

Answer 9

well, I have to say that I suffered more from 'night sickness'. I remember that it would just HIT me at the strangest times, with no forewarning.

The most embarrassing moment took place when my friend and I were at the the video store to check out a movie...I was about 8 months preggo....give or take.

All of a sudden, I just had this urge to hurl....and go figure, NO BATHROOMS! So I ran my *** outside with about 10 people following me to make sure that I was ok. I ended up puking my guts up on the side of the video store...and...embarrassingly enough...peeing my pants to boot. lol

Answer 10

When i was 7 months pregnant with my first child there was this girl who used to come and visit us all the time. I really hated her and couldn't stand to be around her. One day I was having a gallstone attack and everything I ate just kept coming back up. She happened to stop by during this time and I didn't want to see her. Well just as she was walking in the door I had to vomit and the closest thing was the garbage can beside the front door, so I was trying to make a run for it, but my husband was standing in the way, so I ended up puking all over the two of them and most of the kitchen. She just stood there horrified and when I finally stopped the first thing that came to mind was See I told you, you make me sick lol. She never stopped by after that. I wonder why???
