The mantra at this time is knowledge is power , and everyone wants you to make the right choice based on information you have gathered. Or, if they do, they glance over it like a stone skipping off water and breezily carry on as if your questioning glance and interruptions mean nothing. Remember when we were at school in the last few grades and someone threw up before class, the knowing looks and comments all suggested that she was pregnant. However the girl who spent every afternoon in the bathroom doing the same was never suspected as having questionable virtue. Well, we were wrong.
Morning sickness can and does strike at any time of day or night.
In fact I spent every afternoon at 1pm in the bathroom, throwing up my breakfast. No one mentioned the enema. When the nurse said she wanted to do one I assumed she was setting up a night raiding party to spy on enemy hospitals. Apparently they are not mandatory if you are about to give birth, but most hospitals prefer you to have one done, so that the chances of your bowels emptying while in the delivery room are reduced dramatically. I was mortified when the nurse approached me with her rubber gloves and a tube, and announced that I was to turn over.
