I almost never ate out when I was pregnant. Because it wasn't morning sickness for 3 months, it was all-day-every-day-for-9-months. Boring....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Off on hols for a week.
See you all again when I get back. Have fun.

A friend of ours here was most upset last weekend, because her Mum & Dad had gone out and bought themselves a new car. She wasn't so much annoyed at the obvious waste of money, but at them daring to do such a thing at the age of 92. :rotfl:
OH's grandfather refused, from the age of about 70, to buy new pjamasa / pants / socks on the grounds that he wouldn't live long enough to get value out of them. He lived until the age of 97.......much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Ugh. Poor you. Can see why you wouldn't want to be doing up a flat or having a wedding while feeling like that. You're brave to be planning a second one.
My SIL had the all-day-every-day-for-9-months thing too. With her first she just suffered, but with her second it was more of a problem because she wasn't fit to look after her toddler. She ended up being admitted to hospital for dehydration, where they not only rehydrated her, but also put her on some kind of medication that hugely improved her symptoms. She was worried it would affect the baby, of course, but the baby was born fine, and is now a normal healthy girl of 9.
So I hope something can be done to give you an easier time of it second time round too - after the flat and the wedding, of course.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
I felt sick all the time from the moment I missed a period until about 7 weeks. Then i started throwing up 4-5 times a day, which was boring. But kind people (like my mother) kept telling me to hang on, it was only going to be until about 12 weeks. From about 13 weeks I was throwing up 10 times a day (including in court, once....) and ended up on a drip a few times.
from about 20 weeks, they did give me some anti-sickness medicine, and from then until the end I felt sick most of the time, but was only actually sick once or twice a day.
I can't recommend it as a feel-good thang!
I was still sick when in labour, which seemed harsh. After Isaac was born, it was lovely to actually want to eat again.
But there's no definite idea that I'll get hyperemesis again. I could be fine <crossed fingers>...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Poor you. But actually, the problem in this case was the one ''team'' refusing all manner of things their countries advise not to eat and the other ''team'' raising eyebrows and eating unpasturised cheeses, chocolate mousses etc etc etc. Which lead, ploddingly, inevitably to a discussion about veal, tears, tantrums and unnecessary comments about potential health problems in each others unborn children.0 -
I can't be bothered with all that. I didn't eat any of those things, but then, I couldn't! Even the idea of cheese or meat was literally revolting to me....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

What I find revolting is the negative opinions expressed at people who rent, as though they are second class citizens. Luckily people are starting to see through the 'dream' of owning a pile of bricks and getting into huge amounts of debt to do it, and are voting with their feet. No debt, more social housing!0

I've never expressed any such view about renters....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
