Hi all, I just wanted to post and ask if anyone else is suffering in their first trimester?
I'm 10 weeks pregnant and for about 5 weeks I have been flattened with 24/7 nauseous, dizziness and throwing up. My diet now consists of plain toast, chicken dippers and frubes!
I've been off work, 3 days last week and can't make it in today.. and I have terrible anxiety that I'm unable to go in. I'm a full time nanny- minding 4 young children so my job is physical. I basically do all the jobs a full time mum would do however I'm not allowed to put the TV on which can be a life saver at times + I don't get any lunch breaks. So I don't get much sit down time and lunch is usually a quick bite on my feet. Which is usually fine but not while pregnant. I've been feeling terrible guilt on the days I'm unable to go into work and find it hard to sleep worrying about work while feeling so sick as my days feels eternal!
My boss never felt this way in her pregnancies and I don't think she understands when I'm not feeling well so when I tell her I can't come in I get a really awkward reply and i can tell she's a bit pissed off.. The parents of the children I nanny for don't work so I'm not leaving them without childcare as they're always at home but it still leaves me with anxiety.
Is anyone else going through a similar situation missing days in work?
