[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think that there is something in the way that OP has communicated that is making people react so nastily, but on the basics, she is not selfish or a special snowflake. If she is worried about taking leave and feeling miserable on a long flight, I don't understand why everybody's giving her such a hard time[/b]

I love my friends and I would do my best for them, but I'm not going to suffer through an expensive vacation that I can't enjoy. Not being able to eat well, or drink would be tedious.

It's a discretionary vacation, not a work commitment. Not a wedding. Not a once-in-a-lifetime event.[/quote]

This is my first time weighing in.  It seems OP does not want to go.  In fact, she wasn’t asking if there was some remedy or something she could do that could make the best of it. She wasn’t asking for tales of how other people vomited every day and still rallied.  Though this thread sure as heck had a lot of that. She was saying she felt like sh&t and was mad her DH couldn’t understand and basically wanted DCUM to sign off that he should not go in pregnancy solidarity and most folks were having none of that.

Here is my bottom line, own your stuff and balance your expectations of others.  I own that I am a big baby about being in pain and being sick.  I don’t care if people gave birth in the fields and went back to work the next day, that’s not me.  But I also don’t expect the world to stop because I am sick.  I would have honestly said, DH go without me and maybe see if a buddy or family member could go with you - at least someone should enjoy Europe in the family.  If he was only going because I was going and really had no interest in still going on the trip, then make sure it’s not a financial hit to your friends and just suck up whatever money it costs you as just being life. You don’t want to put your life on hold while trying to get pregnant and you don’t know till you there how the pregnancy will be so you have to adapt.

Congrats on the pregnancy OP and in between the snark on DCUM there was some good advice for morning sickness to help you get thru your workday.
