How do people who work deal w/ morning sickness??

I guess I'm the textbook right now b/c I literally puke every single morning and it is disgusting! But I will say that I am soo happy that I am able to do this in my own home and not at work. I think I would die. I hate vomitting and I just don't think I could do it anywhere else. I'm actually kind of thankful it happens mostly in the mornings since I am home!

  • I was sick for the whole 9 months with both boys- I threw up everywhere- work, the mall, even target!

  • I'm like the pp--sick for the entire time (not so much with Bella, but with E and this one). It sucks at home, too. In fact, it was easier when I just had E and worked--it's hard to be hugging the toilet all day when taking care of other kids. Everywhere has seen my puke, though. Embarrassed

  • I know this is totally gross, but I was a teacher when I was pregnant with DD, and taught visually impared kids with mental/behavior disabilities so I could not leave them a lone in the room. I used to throw up in the trash can several times a day then continue to teach, it was horrible but youdo what you have to do.
  • I vomitted every morning in my front yard before I left for work b/c I couln't make it back in the house.  I just kept my trashcan really close by.
  • Mine usually didn't get really bad until the afternoon.  Since I teach I could usually make it home to puke.  Then I had quite the commute so I kept trash bags in the car.  It sucked.  I'm really hoping my next pg will be different.
  • I just apologized every time I got sick nearly every one of my co-workers gave me advice on how to fix it and understood that I was just trying to make it through the day. Once I hit 14 weeks it went away. I got sick once in traffic and I guess the guy in the car next to me realized I was pregnant and put his window down and said try ginger altoids they sell them at target they worked for my wife. I tried it and well it worked!
  • let's see, my mornings would usually start with me basically laying down in the bathtub and letting the water from the shower run over me.  I would then force myself to get dressed and put on makeup - totally bare minimum stuff.  Then I usually puked right before leaving the house (usually late ;P) - the kitchen sink, bushes outside the house, wherever was available.  Just in case, I drove to work with a bucket on my passenger seat just in case.  Oh, and I DROVE to work, which was not my normal routine - I was a public transportation girl usually (bus to metro), but I did NOT want to be the person who held up everyone's rush hour if I puked on the train and they had to halt all traffic to bring in hazmat crews ;P  I then would suffer through the day - puked in trash cans in vacant offices because #1 - I didn't want to be found out and #2 the bathroom was too far from my desk.  I sometimes would go and lay on the floor in vacant offices, as well.  I would sit in meetings and pray I didn't have to go running out the door.  I couldn't eat much - I made a package of ramen noodles (just the noodles) everyday and ate popsicles, the only 2 things I could keep down.

    I was SOO happy when I got past 12 weeks because I finally could let people know why I looked like death.  People were starting to talk about me and if it had gone on much longer, they were ready to do an intervention for anorexia or depression or both.

    It SUCKED and I was so happy for the days I worked at home where I could puke in peace.

  • I carried "barf" bags with me everywhere I went.  And, I had one can under my desk at work for puke only.  I used it at least three times a day.  It was gross, but had to have it.
  • I was on 2 different Rx, sea bands, you name it I was on it.  It still sucks puking in a public toilet everyday.
