So I havent had the easiest pregnancy when it has come to the ms but somehow i have managed to get myself in their everyday, ugghh

Today however it has gotten the better of me. I am so nauseus I almost killed OH when he made toast (the smell sent me to the bathroom again) and the dizziness and fatigue are ridiculous...I really need to rest.

I am the manager of a pretty large and busy department for a major corporation and I am freaking out about what my people are doing while I am not there! My assistant of course tells me I am being ridiculous but I cant relax...anyone else had difficulties when they had to call in to work for pregnancy related illness?
 
OMG I read the title of this thread and thought I had written it! I am feeling exactly the same way today!! I used to go to work through horrible snow storms, right after surgeries, through flus and colds, you name it.... Now I have been taking off a few hours here and there. I took a full day off last week thinking maybe one day of resting would help (it did not)... and now I am trying to conjure up the energy to go into work right now. People seem understanding so far but I feel horrible about it!! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with the guilt issues!!
 
this was me yesterday. i pulled through the entire first trimester without taking a sick day, but yesterday i got sick all over myself on my way to work in the the car. i was like ya know what, this deserves a day off. but of course as soon as i arrived back home i felt so guilty. and i hate going back and everyone asks how youre feeling and why you werent there. in reality, our health and the health of our lil ones are much more important!

if you ever deserve a day off it is the day you puke on yourself in the car! you are right...the health of my LO is more important than anything that can go wrong today at work (all the messes will still be there for me to clean up tomorrow!)
 
Haha I puked on myself in car n still went in, got NO gratitude for it so the next day when I felt crap I made sure to take it off! It'll all b ok-after all they have to cope when u go on.maternity leave-try n rest up n you'll be even more efficient on your return :) xx
 
one girl at work that just a had a baby asked me...what would happen if something happened to you or the baby? what would everyone at work do? say they are sorry, send you a fruit a basket and go on living. which is kind of true in the long run. our babies lives are in our hands. a healthy babe is worth the stress of taking one day off.
