Just threw up in public

misscrystal1 · October 2010

Hi ladies! I normally don't post on these boards, but I just had an awful experience that I had to share with people who would understand. I'm little far into my second trimester to still be experiencing morning sickness, but I caught a horrible whiff of raw meat going down an aisle nearby, and completely lost it! I vomited all over myself and the floor. I was mortified! Luckily DH was with me and flagged someone down almost immediately to help clean up. I collected my purse and decided to sit the rest of our grocery shopping trip in the car.

So it got me thinking... where was the worst place you vomited/experienced morning sickness during pregnancy? How did you handle it? Hopefully I'm not alone in this!

I was catering lunch to a doctors office and barely made it out of the office ....But thankfully there was a bathroom directly across the hall and I ran in there to throw up . In my job I really didnt want to run around throwing up , people wouldnt exactly want food from me lol .

In the parking lot Last Saturday at a kids halloween thing. There were kids everywhere. Thank God it was outside.

I haven't had any m/s thank god but I'm so sorry this happened to you, I can imagine how that felt but hopefully you don't feel too embarrassed, you're pregnant, not hungover!

With as bad as I felt in first tri, I still can't believe I didn't/don't see women all over yakking out of their cars, in stores, parking lots, hurrying and skurrying to the restrooms..

Sunday I had to run to the bathroom of the sports bar we go to to watch the football games that aren't televised here. In the two minutes it took to drive from the house there I'd gotten car sick and lost the roast beef sandwich I ate for breakfast!

with my last pregnancy, i failed my 1 hr glucose test... i took the 3hr at 7am.. If I woke up too early, I got really nauseated anyway, but without eating anything.. forget it.. I got to the 2nd blood draw, someone was in the bathroom and i was trying my hardest not to throw up because I knew the test would be void.. well, that didn't go as planned. i grabbed the garbage can from the front desk and threw up in front of a lobby full of people. it was so embarassing!! not to mention i had to go back and do the test again!!

The worst place for me was in the mall. On my way to the restroom I had to stop and throw up a bit in a gatbage can...in public. Ick!

Yesterday, at Outback's parking lot. I had three bites of steak and didn't want anymore. Hubby and I were about to leave when I projectile vomited all over the parking lot and on my new sweater. :-(

Oh no - I'm sorry. Mine would have to be in the public restroom of Chuck E. Cheese with a little girl in the stall next to me asking her mom what was wrong with me. My work's parking lot would be #2.

The worst place I threw up was in front on Lowes all over myself and ALL over the lowe's guy who was loading up our truck. I warned FI I was about to lose it and he kept chit chatting and then I just threw up about 10 times.

Ive thrown up all over in public and it sucks but what are you going to do? The main thing I was worried about was people were going to think I was drunk and not pregnant!!

With my first pregnancy I was in the back of my mom's van and wasn't feeling great anyway, and she hit a bump or the car jerked suddenly and I told her that she had to pull over or I was going to be sick... she asked if I could hold it in until we got home which was like 10 minutes away and I'm like NUH UH PULL OVER NOW... she did, and I jumped out onto some grass while she threw her flashers on and I puked beside a tree. It was rush hour so I'm sure the more attentive passengers of the cars saw me, if not a few drivers at least. Just kind of got back in the van and we went and found me some water.

This pregnancy, I was grocery shopping and refilling my prescription for my nausea pills at the same time, but had run out the day before so I had missed enough that they weren't in my system anymore... I managed to struggle through the rest of groceries and get back to the car but once we were there I was in the driver's seat and had to open the door really quick so I could puke out the side. There was no way I was puking in my car! I was parked in the stall reserved for expectant mothers and parents of small children so I'm hoping that even though I wasn't showing at all, that anyone who saw me understood why I was getting sick.

My worst is probably at work right under my desk in the trash can. All of my co-workers around me started gagging and in between hurls I said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Luckily I've only thrown up at home. I think I would be most mortified if it happened at work. I'm an L&D nurse, don't think the laboring women would appreciate that too much, although they would probably be understanding! However, when I was 9, I threw up at a major league baseball game, that was embarrassing! My dad let me eat everything I wanted (mom stayed home that day) and it came back to bite him during the 8th inning! Thankfully, before the game they were handing out team juice pitchers, at least I know the people in front of us were thankful

We went to Lake Tahoe with the ILs during my first tri. I got really queasy at a diner and had to sit in the restroom with a glass of water. After a ton of dry heaving and peeing my pants I never puked. I wasn't able to eat or even sit at the table so I spent the entire time in the bathroom and then rode back to the hotel with a air sickness bag held to my mouth the entire way.

This past weekend I threw up on the side of the road on the way back home from a weekend trip. And then last night I threw up at the train station after class. It hasn't been a good week, and I have hardly thrown up this pregnancy.

TwistedFirestarter · October 2010

I'd have to say it was when I threw up in my neighbor's front yard. I've come pretty close to losing it on the bus too but luckily made it home before I had to spew.

I've had a cold since I got my BFP, and it's just an annoying nose drip all the time. Anyway, sometimes the 'load' is too heavy to go into my nose to be blown out, and it starts going down my throat so I have to spit it out.. and I was in the walmart parking lot, just put my cart up, kids in the van, and had to spit some. I hurled a bit right there!! I was mortified. I did manage to stop myself, but I got out one or two heaves before I managed to stop myself. I then had to use some of the water in my water bottle to try to wash away the mess. Tongue Tied

When I was pg with DS, my first, every morning I got off the bus from Ikego to Yokosuka for work I'd HAVE to hurl- and I did it in front of the same building/bushes every time!! It rained most nights, but the nights it didn't rain I'd go to toss up and yesterday's vomit would be sitting there still. And the smell of the moldy earth.. To this day I can't smell that smell without needing to gag or hurl.

In the trashcan in the lobby of the building of nurses I supervise. I was only 7 weeks. EVERYONE knew I was pregnant then.

Also..in my car. I keep those blue clinic vomit bags with me just in case now.

Work bathroom...

Restaurant bathroom...

Hotel bathroom...

Where haven't I puked? I'm so sick of it already!!!

I was at Whole Foods with my husband and ate a huge salad. As we were leaving I knew I was going to be sick. As soon as I sat in the car I had to lean out the side and puked all over the parking stall next to us, and some was on the side of the car as well. Yuck. The worst part is that we were facing the area in the store window that is lined with booths where people take their food to eat. It was packed. On the other side was a busy street. Nice show for those trying to eat their lunch.

Ewww a couple weeks ago I was working I was stuck covering for a few hours at the registers and of course the store was super busy and I was the only cashier. I ended up throwing up in the trash right at the front counter between customers.

DH and I were in the car about to leave a gas station and I rolled down the window and started getting sick. I was so embarrassed I told DH to just start driving anyway. I had a fancy little trail following the car all the way to the freeway entrance!

Clotho! · October 2010

this was during my 1st pg when I had all day sickness the whole time. Dh and I decided to go to the zoo one day. After lunch i didn't feel well so we were heading back to our car. I threw up right in the middle of the zoo. I used the nearby lamp post to hang onto. Wish I would have noticed the bathrooms 5 feet away though. But at least i had some where to clean up afterward. To add to it dh said some other chick saw me throwing up and immediately ran for the nearest bush and threw up too.

After my cerclage two nurses were doing doppler on the babies and I told them I was going to be sick. They gave me a bucket and didn't stop, so I hurled while they did it, with my parents and husband watching.

I have also thrown up into a bathtub that was occupied by me.

Pregnancy is very glamorous.
