[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op I think all the people who are telling you to suck it up did not have really bad morning sickness. I spent a lot of time travelling with first for work when I was super sick. It was pretty miserable. When you throw jet lag into the mix it can be really hard to just suck it up.

I threw up in the customs line at Heathrow, countless museums, on the plane etc. If you do go, make sure your travel companions understand you may need to sleep and skip out on some of the activities.

Good luck to you!!! [/quote]

No, hyperemesis x4, hospitalized during pregnancy 2 because of it. It’s unfortunate that she feels nauseated, but the rest of her post reads like hormones. She’s upset that she’s only been at her job for 10 months and doesn’t have fmla, but she will by the time the baby gets here. She wants to save her leave for the baby, which means she will be working rather than relaxing. I get that they’re valid concerns, and I get the idea of making different choices if she knew them what she knows now. But to cancel a big trip with another couple just days before leaving? On the rudeness scale, that’s at least an 8 or 9. Staying home won’t magically cure her of morning sickness or make her comfortable. Her husband clearly still wants to go and have a nice vacation with his wife. It might not be as action packed as before but it’s still totally doable.

Things that would help, like other pps mentioned, include having crackers and ginger ale or whatever helps settle your stomach. Someone else mentioned sweet tarts. For me it was ginger snaps. The most important thing that can help is a prescription for anti nausea meds from your OB.

If you don’t want to be a drag to the other couple and ruin their vacation with complaining, don’t complain :) Sometimes we make commitments and we have to follow through even though we don’t really want to when the time comes. But we do, because we care about keeping our word and we care about the people we committed to. You can’t let hormones control every decision and take over your personality while you’re pregnant. Don’t be one of those people. [/quote]
