Hello,
In my early pregnancy I suffered from HG, I had almost 4 weeks off of work with a doctors (I was hospitalised twice and on fluid etc) but around 15 weeks the sickness got better (thank god as I know some women with HG have it throughout their pregnancy and I really feel for them
) I've been working at home so managing the sickness better than the office eg having a sick bucket there. I haven't had any time off during August at all, I'm still being sick but it's infrequent so last time I was sick was last Wednesday but after work and then this morning I was sick but felt fine so logged onto work, I took my dinner and had a chicken sandwich (in date) and some snacks and a drink about ten minute later I was sick and couldn't stop, it was coming up for about half an hour and I thought I can't deal with this. I work in a contact centre so my job is to speak to people on the phone which is extremely difficult with a mouth full of puke so I called my manager, told her what was happening and took the day off sick - was that unreasonable? Part of me is like you're pregnant, you're sick there's literally nothing you can do, after all youd rather be at work then have your head in the toilet but then another part of me thinks I'm selfish when it's busy and I feel like I'm letting people down. I know they can't sack me or anything when it's pregnancy related illness but I still feel really guilty :(
