I am 30 weeks, pregnancy has been fine, but I am currently absolutely struck down with flu - running around after a toddler and work being so busy has left me feeling quite rundown for some time, and it has just caught up with me.
I have a high level role and had two new people start last week - they desperately need me in this week to manage them and train - my boss is on AL at the moment and his boss is the director and I very much doubt would step in to help (plus lives miles away).
I'm already stressed about calling in sick tomorrow. My DH says I need to put myself and baby first and I need to rest and get better. I've completely lost my voice and wouldn't be capable of getting myself in to work and training new people even if I wanted to so it's a bit of a non issue but the guilt is eating me up. :-(
Just need a bit of reassurance that it's ok to be sick occasionally! I never am!
I also feel a bit annoyed at the amount of pressure I'm under currently - they seem to be really trying to get their moneys worth until I go on Mat leave with little regard for how stressed it will leave me!
Typically took a day off two weeks ago for a pregnancy related issue but not had another sickness in years.
