Feeling guilty over being signed off

[enchantedspleen]

I've been signed off by the doctor until the end of February because of PGP! I've been in absolute agony and couldn't walk, now I'm walking small distances again without hobbling quite as much. It's only been a few days but I feel so guilty. I feel like I should be in work.
I fell pregnant a month after starting at my job and I feel like such a pisstake. They have been amazing and even told me off a bit saying they did tell me to slow down and stop working so hard but because of the timing of my pregnancy I felt I still had to keep up and try my best, even when it really felt hard with morning sickness and breathlessness. I'm 27 weeks now.
Am I being stupid? I love my job so much and I feel like such a time waster to them.

Sorry, gonna give this a wee bump. I think this post is going to get buried!

My youngest boys are 8&9 and I had this with both of them. I was signed off with 9 year old at 28 weeks and youngest at 26 weeks i couldn’t walk far and the pain was ridiculous I’m a nurse so I got fast tracked physio and extra at work but the nature of my job I just couldn’t work without being in massive pain, and yes having last baby probably not advised so close but he was somewhat of a surprise

Forgot to say don’t feel bad you can’t help it and it’s very sore and uncomfortable

But you are probably better because you are not at work. If you went back it would flare up again?

It does flare up a lot if I do too much. I did some weeding afterwards my pelvis shot with pain. It just feels so unnatural not working
