Been lurking on this sub for a little while now and wanted to ask for some guidance about my 'expectations' and see if anyone has any advice if I am deemed unreasonable.
I am newly pregnant with my first child, after lord knows how many years of trying.
However I have been suffering over the past 4 weeks with 'morning' sickness (false advertising on that one!) and been struggling to work through it. At the start it was sporadic days off sick, so maybe a Monday and a Thursday of the same week as I could manage on the other days. However I am nearing day 7 of a continued period of sickness and am getting close to needing a note from my Dr.
As I am still on probation at work with 4 weeks left to go I don't want to tell them about my pregnancy, would I be unreasonable to ask my Dr not to put morning sickness on the note? Would they even be able to do that? I don't want to ask if it's an unreasonable request.
I've been feeling really low lately, I know so many women who have managed to work fine through early pregnancy and feel a bit 'weak' for having to take so much time off, does anyone have any advice on how to alleviate this as thinking ahead, even if my Dr is able to put a non pregnancy related reason for my current period of sickness, if it continues to impact work I might need to tell them as any 'fake' illness might not require continued time off etc.
