I'm 6 weeks pregnant and morning sickness kicked in 2 days ago. I manage to keep food down mostly (though what I can eat and smell or even think of is really limited to maybe 3 random things a day) but have horrendous nausea all day long. The sheer sight and thought of food makes me retch.
I've been off work on honeymoon for the last couple of weeks but am now due to go back on Friday, which I wouldn't mind but I work in a cafe as a cook / deli person depending on shift. The pure thought of all the cold meats in the deli and the smells in the shop in general is making me want to throw up. I guess this is made worse by the fact I'm a vegetarian. I'm not usually bothered working with meat but right now....
I honestly don't know what to do. Staying home is not really an option as I only get SSP.
So my question is really, is there anyone else working with food on here who had to deal with with morning sickness and has any advice???
I feel so wiped out from the last two days already (first-time wimp) that all I want to do is cry...
