I am having a complicated pregnancy and my consultant has stated that if I wanted to be signed off work that would be reasonable.
I love my work so said that I would prefer not to be signed off, but discussed the issues with my line manager, explaining that I could not realistically work long hours but should be fine to work full time.
Since then, for the first time, he is being publicly critical of my work. My workload is more intense than ever and I feel that I am letting colleagues down.
I am now feeling stressed and thinking that being signed off for the pregnancy complications might be a better idea. This feels disloyal to my team who would really struggle to meet major deadlines.
I normally have an excellent working relationship with my manager. I do not want to jeopardise it and am unsure whether taking sick leave or working to rule is more likely to do that.
