I’m currently 33 weeks. 3rd pregnancy and I’m going of at 36 weeks (using a couple of weeks annual leave and then starting official maternity leave).
I work in a really small team and I always feel stupidly guilty for taking time off. I never took him off before I got pregnant.
this time around has been a bit of a struggling with lots of bleeding issues and awful morning sickness.
I had 2 weeks of due to heavy bleeding early on (around 7 weeks). I miscarried one baby (didn’t know it was twins at the time and we had that 14 day wait to rescan etc).
3 days at 12 weeks for bleeding
1 day for hip pain at 27 weeks
there’s probably been another day somewhere but I can’t remember.
anyway, I’ve come down with this horrific flu that’s going around. I’ve been ill since the 23rd but luckily had annual leave. Would it be awful to ring in sick for tomorrow/ Friday? I just feel torn up about it and so guilty 🤦🏻♀️
pregnancy sickness doesn’t count towards my sickness but this isn’t pregnancy related so would (but I have no other episodes of non pregnancy related sickness)
I didn’t take Anytime off with my first 2 but u feel like im falling apart this time!
