Suffering in Silence

Is anyone else going to be suffering in silence tomorrow? I have a FULL day of four Thanksgiving meals on the agenda. My nausea is in full force and we are waiting to announce our pregnancy until a bit later. I have so many food aversions and so much nausea that I do not see being able to eat properly without someone noticing. I have also been napping daily. Once 3:00PM hits, I am pretty much down for the count. I pile up on the couch from the fatigue and nausea. Any tips on keeping our secret during the chaos??
I suggested telling since I feel that it will be obvious, but DH insists on waiting because we have pictures/cards being made for our announcement.

    We're hosting so I'm using the excuse that I was "sampling" while cooking if things start making me not hungry.  I'm not sure how to stay away longer than 6pm without a nap though.

    In my family most people take a nap after the meal anyway. I would head to couch or maybe cat nap in between houses. As for the nausea I have nothing.

    4 places?! That sounds nauseating enough in itself.
    That's what I thought.  Even at my full steam, I couldn't force feed that much.

    I am dreading tomorrow. Nausea and vomiting hit me FULL FORCE this week. Looking at bottled water makes me gag. I called my OB and got Zofran so hopefully it will help. I am here with you! Good luck!

    You have 4 dinners, the first would be the toughest. The rest just say you ate a ton at the other place (they'll never know you lied) :)

    Napping after turkey is common enough, shouldn't be an issue.

    Ugh. While out to dinner tonight DH asked what my excuse for not boozing will be. His family drinks heavily and I usually do too. He said the antibiotics and painkillers excuses will be seen through as will partying too much tonight for my bday. I make homemade apple pie moonshine so I'm currently making a batch but not including alcohol. I can then drink plenty of it with no side eyes. Every one only has one glass usually and says how smooth it is so I'm hoping it will work. It's all I got at this point .

    Both of us come from large families. It's unavoidable. But we don't eat at them all. It's more like lunch at the first, dessert at the second, supper at the third, dessert at the fourth. Even that is pushing it when I'm not sick! I was more concerned about avoiding my favorites and people asking why I didn't eat the Mac n cheese they made just for me! Lol

    Man, I'm with you on the 3:00 nap, which is purely impossible since I'm still at work at that time :(

    Tell them you have the stomach flu!!! You can use that excuse to get out of all sorts of stuff. Reason why your not drinking, why your tired, why you can't eat or feel nauseous. No one can tell you that you're not sick!

    Sleep in the car between houses. Even 10-15 minutes can help a ton.

    I can't help with the other. We decided not to go through the holidays trying to hide it. Everyone already knows so I can cradle my ginger ale all I want.

    I have no advice jut sympathy.  We are both only children so when we bought our house we said "want to see us?  Come to our place".  I can't imagine carting myself all over to see family on a day meant for parking yourself on the couch and not moving.  Good luck.  Stash ginger ale and tums in your car?

    Wow, 4 places! I thought 2 sounded exhausting. I'm just going to say I'm on a diet, lol. They won't question why I'm not eating much if I use the diet excuse at the first place. For the 2nd stop, I can just say I'm still full from the first :)

    We do 4 places too. The nausea and food aversions will definitely be tough. My immediately family knows, so hopefully with their help I will get though it. It will be a rough day either way.
