It looks like I've had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks. I've had two scans done, the hospital want to do one more next week just to be sure (!) and have also booked me in for surgical management a few days later. I really don't feel up to work (university lecturer) and I was thinking of asking for two weeks off--a week pre surgery (partly because I'm prettified of miscarrying at work two hours from home), and a week after. This feels over the top but I'm not sure what's normal (people don't seem to take sick leave in my department!).
Can I ask for reassurance from those who've been here, either that it's fine to want time off or that actually I might be better at work?! And finally, if I want time off do I see my GP for a sick note?
Thanks in advance
