I'm 6 weeks into my pregnancy (first child) and really struggling with nausea and sickness. I'm trying my hardest to get up for work each day but it's getting worse. It's not just morning sickness, I wake up at 2am in the morning and will be up and down like a yo-yo to the toilet. I just want to sleep and for it all to subside 😔 I've read about HG and I don't think my symptoms are as bad as others have described so I'm just trying whatever I can.
I work in HR and manage a team. Ideally I'd just stay off and rest but I have no idea how long this will go on for. We don't have a generous sick pay policy so that is also a worry. If it gets worse tonight I'll try to ring my doctor in the morning.
What do you do if you don't want to tell your company that you're pregnant but need to take time off due to sickness? A Dr's note is likely to say that it's pregnancy related?
