Morning Sickness Now In Style
The bar for “good” pregnant women has been raised much higher than I can see.
Starting now, nothing says “this pregnant lady’s really holding it together,” like a disposable, compact, afforadable — yet stylish! — barf bag. And 50 of them can be nauseously yours for less than 30 bucks.
Called the “Morning Chicness” bag it comes in six different designs, some quite attractive, you know, considering.
Company founder and Morning Chicness bag designer Tara Ramos came up with the idea for the bags after suffering Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness. She used airline bags her husband and friends purloined from plane trips.
According to the website, however, Ramos “liked the convenience of airline vomit bags, but hated advertising an airline while vomiting.”
Totally. I’m like that with Disney stuff.
Thus, pretty barf bags were born.
Discussion: what did you barf in during your pregnancy?
Pun alert: these would make a great gag gift for a baby shower.

Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI had barf buckets. One was a serving bowl from the house and then I got some wax covered paper buckets from the hospital for the car and work. Mostly I barfed in the shower each morning….
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amHell, I laughed about it so I wouldn’t cry about it constantly! It was a super rough pregnancy. I transitioned straight from HG to puking from heartburn, which lasted all nine months. I puked in during labor, too. So. much. fun.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI had morning sickness for 6 months of my first pregnancy. i was not particular about where I puked. Didn’t have the fancy bags either. If we were in a car, I’d just open the door and hurl.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI used those little disposable diaper bags. 300 in a box at the dollar store! I kept them everywhere.
@coolteamblt, that story beats them all! I will no longer complain about my HG. At least I could do it in private. That’s a horrible experience!
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amWhat did I barf in? Are you kidding? That’s just a weird question. So weird, that I must answer it. Also a HG sufferer, I hurled in every toilet, sink, and shower I visited during those days. I used ziplock bags (for freshness!) for the car, when I couldn’t physically make it to some poor unsuspecting bushes in time.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI’m sorry coolteamblt, that sounds awful!

Is it bad that I snorted over your highway puking/mooning ordeal?
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI had hyperemesis with nine lovely months of vomiting. Doggy clean-up bags were my on-the-go receptacle of choice. You can stash several of them in a jacket or pants pocket and they’re far more economical than the sacks pictured in the post.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI had awful morning sickness. We had moved, and my first job transfer fell through, so I was driving 110 miles each way to get to work through the Rocky Mountains. I had my favorite spots on the side of the highway to puke. Once, a semi drove by, and the breeze pulled my dress up over my head, so I mooned the trucks on the highway while puking my guts out and crying. I also laid claim to the closest single-stall bathroom at work and kept changes of clothes in there until I finally got my transfer after four months.
