Have been ill since Sunday and off work today and yesterday with a bug - worse than the average cold, have been shivering, aching and feeling really grim, but starting to feel a bit better this evening though still with painful cough, sore throat and running nose. Normally I'd be trying to go back to work at the first sign of feeling better as I feel guilty about taking time off, but must admit I'm tempted to leave it until I'm properly fit this time as I'm 22 weeks pregnant and getting quite easily tired at work even when healthy (I have a busy job where I'm constantly on the go, don't have the option of sitting quietly at a desk). What would you do? Am I being a self-indulgent wuss?
