Because my dh just doesn't get it.

He's had the stomach flu for days, and unintentionally contaminated my toothbrush (so basically it's a miracle I'm not sick yet). So he calls me this morning because he's feeling very guilty...to tell me that if I start to feel sick to take the prescription the doctors wrote for him to stave off the excessive vomiting.

Okay, his heart is in the right place, but I explained to him (as I have in the past) that I can't just take random medication. Apparently he feels that since I know dehydration is bad, that taking this medication...whatever it may be...must be better. Uh, if I can't take ibuprofen, that should be a pretty good indication of the fact that really inocuous drugs can be a problem.

Anyway, I told him thanks but no thanks and that I would call my OB if I started throwing up and said a silent thank you to mother nature for making the chicks carry the kids.

Sometimes our Dh's are amazingly dense. Mine left me with HUGE bottle of Advill earlier in this pregnancy, and when I complained of a headache, he said 'We just baught Advil....'.

You would think that seeing how this isn't our first kid, he would have rememberd from the last few times around.

My dh has told me repeatedly he could never do it. Ever. And with morning sickness he was so distraught with me getting sick so often he just KNEW there was a magical cure. He was so frustrated and was up the midwife's ass with "there HAS to be something for this by now".

Kind of along the lines with the cure for the common cold I guess.

My SO talks of long fishing trips this summer with DD and the new baby

And what am I going to do with a nursing newborn in the hot sun on a boat?
