Mornidine for morning sickness

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Because her cooking breakfast for her man is far more important than anything else. We were so naïve back then.

Not birth defects, this one, but lesions on the liver and hypotension. Still had it's approval withdrawn.

The sociological implications of the ad are still pretty damn disturbing, though. Must tend to your wifely duties, above all else, right?

I was just coming in to push my biology/physiology glasses up on my nose and say "WELL, ACTUALLY..." but you beat me to it. ;)

But yes: pipamazine was a very different drug than thalidomide. There's such a weird sociology to these early anti-emetics for morning sickness. Hyperemesis gravidarum is a very real thing and has always been a very real thing- my mother never had any morning sickness but recalls a friend who lost her first pregnancy because they LITERALLY could not get her vomiting under control and get enough calories in her to sustain a fetus. So while we see these kinds of "get that little lady feeling ship shape and back to work!" ads, there were also THOUSANDS of miserable women trying to get through the day without barfing 50 times. Also: laying around all day feeling miserable is, well, miserable. Who WOULDN'T want to find a magic pill to make that stop?

i had fairly easy pregnancies as far as morning sickness goes...with my son i was put on bed rest at 3 months because of premature labor. :/

then at 7 months with him i caught a virus my older brat brought home from school. ended up in the ER, was badly dehydtrated from spewing from BOTH ends, and we will NEVER forget that i got a pill for the diarhea and a suppository for the vomiting. just really unreal.

mind you, it WORKED, it was just a laugh-to-keep-from-crying situation LOL (oh, and both the kids are my brats...love them dearly but they are no angels! they're normal people who mess up...but they're still my babies. at 21 and 32!)

Mine is 42, so I know what you mean about them still being your babies. And he's not perfect either, but I wouldn't trade him for the world.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

i think most parents are like that, wouldn't trade their kids...

it's all "i'm proud of them, they're doing ok, and now i have a granddaughter to spoil" and their happiness makes me happy. that's how it should be. :)

and the best thing of all is to answer the phone and hear "MIMI! I LOVE YOU!" coming from the speaker. :D :D :D

Sigh, well, I won't have that to look forward to unless The Boy and his guy adopt. I don't think they are intending to, though. I'll just be happy if he finally settles down with this one.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

yes, it's kind of hard for boys to get knocked up. :/

my daughter NEVER wanted kids, never planned on it, swore on her 29th birthday that if she had no kids by 30, it was never going to happen. she was pregnant a month later. the father is an ass, but you can't have everything and she NEVER married him.

i asked her "you know...you're a SMART girl. why on EARTH would you sleep with such a goob??" and she said "i was drunk, he was pretty." *shakes head* but the grandbaby is gorgeous. and looks JUST like her mama. who looks just like *me*.

(that's an old pic of us...but you can see the resemblence!)

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Sigh. Boys are harder in some way and easier in others.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

my 21 year old is a boy. i SO get you.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

You have my sympathies. The twenties were an interesting time, but at least he is legal and that's a bit of a load off your shoulders. They all seem to go a bit weird then, though... mine went into musical theatre.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

mine moved in with his g/f nearly 2 years ago now... and they're engaged! she starts grad school plus they're both working. he's being an adult at last!!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Good for you and him, too! Sounds like he got some pretty good upbringing.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

she pretty much keeps him in line...poor boy NEEDS a minder. :D

but she's a darling girl and i love her to pieces, and isn't that what we want for our children, that they find good mates? for a while he was seeing a boy, and i was fine with that, too...i just wanted him to grow up and be happy.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

That's me as well. I want him to be a good man and to be happy, and I don't care who with. He just got back from a trip to Australia to meet his SO's parents. So hopeful there will be vows spoken soon! And I so need a reason to go back to New York.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

May their lives be blessed!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you so much and right back at yours! I hope that the future smiles for both him and your daughter.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I amended the post. I should have done more research.

Thanks Mornidine, for saving me the extra work. I recommend this all my friends. - Sincerely, Don Draper.

Looks like something I'd see on Reddit...

Both!

Breakfast upside your head.

But, remember, if you use the old Mornidine - Well, don't say you didn't see that frying pan coming.

*grin* That is very true!

This is cringeworthy! I sympathize with her feeling ill, though. It's just the idea of her as slave that is awful. This makes me want to shove soda crackers down her throat, because they really worked with me and if you eat them before getting vertical for the day, that's best medicine!!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

It was all about serving the man at that time in our lives. We've done a bit better than that, at least in some circumstances, but it's still a man's world.

[hutchlover.livejournal.com]

And not only cook breakfast for her man, but do it with a smile on her face.

Unless that hand slightly behind her back, is sett there to get the maximum velocity of a punch to his face?

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

She's waiting until he leans in to appreciate her fine cooking. Then we'll see just who's cookin' in the kitchen.
