If I'm really bad, DH stays home from work. I still have to take care of bubs and cook tea but he does all the housework, cleaning and takes care of Janaya as well.
When hes not home I have a great friend who comes and takes Jackson for a few hours so I can get some sleep. Ive been sick 4 times since Jackson was born.

What she said! If I don't run the house it falls apart, I can't afford to get sick!

Altho my friends were great thru months of me being incapacitated with hyperemesis.]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 20:25:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457568&title=when-you-are-sick#457568 <![CDATA[When you are sick... : Lew, mum and nana look after me...or...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457554&title=when-you-are-sick#457554 Author: lizzle

I look after myself most of the time, if it's a weekend I stay in bed. If I ask for help I get it. DH will take time off work to look after me or "work" from home.

And DH will buy me anything I feel like eating at the time.]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 20:18:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457552&title=when-you-are-sick#457552 <![CDATA[When you are sick... : I look after myself usually.....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457544&title=when-you-are-sick#457544 Author: Neeks

Me! I have to look after myself, last time I was sick and DH stayed home to look after me he just sat on the computer all day and i ended up having to make him lunch If I'm really sick I will get the MIL to look after the girls or just send my oldest to her aunties next door. Oh how I miss the days where it used to be nice to be sick and you could lie in bed all day being waited on hand and foot ]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 20:11:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457540&title=when-you-are-sick#457540 <![CDATA[When you are sick... : I look after myself and avoid...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457519&title=when-you-are-sick#457519 Author: NeoshasMummy

About a month ago I had a tummy bug and I had put my neck out, so I was basically incapacitated. My DH was working out of town for two days so I couldn't get any help from him. So I struggled on my own feeling very sorry for myself as I took care of my 10kg + immobile Daughter. But in hindsight, I realise that I could have called on my Mum or MIL and they would have helped without question, I think it was my stupid pride that stopped me from asking!]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:50:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457287&title=when-you-are-sick#457287 <![CDATA[When you are sick... : ...who looks after you???

...who looks after you???

No one generally - I tend to fend for myself. But DH & gran will take care of the girls where possible so I don't pass anything on.

...do you eat food??

Depends what it is. I had a tummy bug a few weeks ago and was totally off food. Generally, if I'm hungry, I'll eat as I think my body knows best]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 14:58:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457190&title=when-you-are-sick#457190 <![CDATA[When you are sick... : SimSam wrote: DH took 1.5...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457081&title=when-you-are-sick#457081 Author: Kels

I do, oh and my bed is my long lost friend when I'm unwell. Sometimes I eat sometimes I don't depending on what kinda unwell. Always keep your fluids up though, being dehydrated only makes me feel worse.]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 12:45:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19735&PID=457023&title=when-you-are-sick#457023 <![CDATA[When you are sick... : ...who looks after you???

...who looks after you???

I have the flu and a sinus infection on top of that. Dh is stuck at camp today, but hopefully coming home soon. And I don't really know anyone here to help me out either.

...do you eat food??

I am so hungry but the thought of food makes me even more sick (which isn't that great for the boys who want feeding). I am drinking Vita Quench as that is the only thing my stomach can handle, and i'm not drinking very much of that, about 3/4's of a 750ml bottle a day.
