To roll my eyes at pregnancy excuse

[Fuzzyduck31]

It must be my age but recently I’ve had more friends and acquaintances being pregnant and I am surprised (bemused?) by the ideas some people have.
I get that morning sickness/ nausea is bad but I have a friend who is acting completely incapacitated by it? It’s not HG just the normal nausea sicky feeling in first trimester.
I have another friend who can not organise a baby shower for her sister because she is also pregnant?!
Another friend has just had a baby and has called her mum to look after the baby while she sleeps all day?
AIBU as I went through this twice not looking for the type of complete support that these other women feel entitled to?
I am happy for them all and feel like a bad person thinking this but just wondered if anyone else has noticed a trend towards this complete incapacitation as a pregnant/ new mum?

It's a pretty disengaged brain that can't work out that:

a) you do it during the holidays like anyone else who wants to holiday with school age children

b) if your manager won't give you fair leave, they're the problem, not parents, so point your ire where it might do some good and

c) if you have responsibility for a stepchild and want to holiday with them, then for leave purposes, you're just as much to blame for the annual summer exodus as anyone who birthed the child.

And stay off the pregnancy choices board. Nobody going through a difficult and uncertain time needs your input.
