Bought a deep fat fryer years ago and proceeded, as one does, to make fritters of everything in the food cupboard and fridge, finishing with exotic mushroom fritters.
This went well and our little family went to bed nicely-filled and happy.

However, being hugely pregnant, something upset me and I started throwing up violently in the night. As we had a problem with the upstairs lights, I had to grope my way around in the dark and do my best not to barf anywhere too sensitive on way to the bog.

Eventually the nausea subsided a bit and I went back to bed, exhausted, with a towel under my chin to catch the dribbles of bile that I still kept bringing up.

In the morning light I found that the 'bile' was in fact blood, and that I had chucked up blood in several places. The bedding and towel were heavily stained. I'd barfed so hard that I'd had some sort of minor stomach haemorrhage without knowing.

Feeling perfectly healthy by that point I shrugged, stripped the bed and got the washing on.

As the mushroom fritters came last I blamed them and have avoided them ever since, and haven't had any more trouble.

Have you been pregnant since?
Perhaps it wasn't the fritters after all.

P.S. Puking blood and going back to sleep is pretty hardcore. I think I would have shed a tear or two.

I think I'd proabbly have tried to throw in a couple of "Your mother sucks cocks in hell, Caras!" for effect and then gone back to sleep.

Had another sprog later with no similar problems so my money's still on the mushrooms!
