I was very nauseous before I tested positive and it got worse. I was sick for all but 6 weeks of my pregnancy. I dry heaved at least 50 times per day and had a few ER visits for dehydration. I was able to function by eating very specific foods, zofran and sleeping as much as possible. I don’t think most docs give zofran now.

Seriously f*co everyone in this thread telling OP to go, I bet most have you have not experienced really bad first tri nausea.

OP, I'm right there with you at 7 weeks today and I want to jump off a cliff. The only thing I could stomach today was mac and cheese from a box. No f*cking way would I haul my ass to Europe in a million years. Do NOT feel guilty, just don't go and let H go without you.

FWIW this is my second baby and NOTHING is as bad as weeks 5 through 10 in my opinion. Not third trimester discomfort, not going 11 days overdue, not nursing, not sleep deprivation, not plans rides with screaming infants, not toddler meltdowns. That five week period remains to date .my worst parenting experience yet and I'd be dammed if I'd waste my mo eh and vacation days to go feel even worse kn Wurope without access to my bed, my toilet, and my crappy processed food.

Sorry for all the typos in the last paragraph, my phone does an annoying thing where I cant see what I'm typing when I get to the bottom. I was just rage typing.

Also OP see if you can get a Diclegis prescription, it's a miracle. Only thing that helps, IME.

Years ago, I found out I was pregnant with my first child the night before we left for a trip to Europe with another family member. I did experience morning sickness (though mostly just feeling super tired), but it was still a great trip. I would not have considered canceling because the trip was planned and paid for, everyone had taken time off work, etc. But some people get much sicker than others, so it’s really an individual choice.

I think your “Dear” Hubby is being really unsupportive as well as clueless about this entire thing.

As a woman, I get it.
The nausea is pretty bad & the last place I would want to be is on a plane.
Or a hotel room.

I would just want to stay in my own, comfy bed and sleep.

I get the feeling your husband will not be so willing to make life sacrifices later on once the baby arrives.

Just a hunch.
But mark my words OP.

NP here. Not sure why you think anyone is jealous? I agree there have been some over the top comments, but I think they are more annoyed by OP than jealous of her.

Because it seems that for so many people here, a trip to Europe is such a big deal that they would never consider canceling, no matter the reason. For others who go multiple times every year, it’s really no big deal.

Another NP. Weird brag, anonymous PP. Who said OP goes to Europe “multiple times every year”? In fact OP is talking about conserving her leave, which suggests she doesn’t actually enjoy several international trips per year. And most of the PPs telling her to go are saying she is being a whiner and/or selfish because there are others—including an unrelated couple who may or may not belong to your jet setting circle—who have to deal if OP backs out. Nothing about this being a trip of a lifetime.

Also, as someone who does actually travel to Europe 3-4 times a year, I would never say that a last minute cancellation of a trip is “no big deal.” It sucks! You get all excited for a fun trip, get everything lined up, and then—nope.

All that said, I think OPs husband should go alone, maybe take a friend.

If OP doesn’t feel well enough to go then it won’t be a “fun trip.” And not sure why another couple would ever be dependent on OP and her husband. No one says they can’t still go....

I was nauseated before I tested positive - although I’m no stranger to nausea due to Crohns, the idea of flying to the UK and doing lots of movement, (driving, ferries, etc) terrifies me. I’m ok dealing the nausea at home in my own environment, but dealing with it on a plane with 100+ people watching sounds and feels uncomfortable.

I’m also afraid of something happening overseas, like a miscarriage.

DH didn’t really understand how crappy I felt, and I felt a little slighted by that. I guess I felt like I had no choice BUT to go.

I realize I sound whiny.

Travel will not make a miscarriage more likely.

Ask your OB for Zofran prescription and go. I went to Greece for 10 days in my first trimester and Zofran did wonders for my nausea. It’s not like you’re going to a third world country.

Haha. This is exactly what I was thinking. I've been pregnant 4xs, it's not a handicap.

News flash. Every pregnancy is different.

OP don't go on that trip. If there is sudden decompression in the aircraft it could yank the fetus right out of your vagina in mid-flight.
