Am newly pg with dc2, could be anywhere between 6 and 10 weeks, have pcos and veeeery long cycles so until I can beg and plead for an early scan I'm not sure where I am. Anway am starting to feel all the ususal niggles, very tired, a bit nauseous,wretching at food smells, getting horrid headaches in the evenings etc. I'm a long haul flight attendant and due to fly to Asia on fri (only part time as have rampaging toddler at home) All in I can expect to be up for about 22 hours - more if delayed, I dont want to be pathetic cos its not like I work loads but feel exhausted and sick at the thought of it! Work dont know am pg and as its not a british carrier will expect me to do few more flights to max out my 'hours while pregnant' - British carriers ground as soon as they know. I CAN ground myself but it affects my wages a lot, and money is tight and I dont really want to advertise the pg yet till I know where I am, plus they wont look on it favourably. Am also due to go away again 3 days later (another asia trip.) Would you just suck it up and do it? Call in sick for one of the flights or ground yourself asap?

Thanks jjkm, appreciate your replies! I will tell them soon but kind of want to see midwife first just to check all A-ok.
