26 weeks, feeling rubbish Sad. Still puking more days than not.

Had my GTT on Thursday, pretty much fainted and puked in a waiting room of nearly 40 people. Hideously embarassing. Not diabetic though, so great.

Awaiting results of blood tests to see if something is causing my current symptoms of tiredness, breathless, nausea and most recently dizziness and getting very close to fainting. Had to leave a concert early last night as was feeling so unwell and nearly fainted when coming down the stairs. I've slept all day today and just left poor DH and DS to get on with it, and hate feeling like I've wasted my weekend with them (work full time).

I'm supposed to be flying (within UK) for work tomorrow but am really concerned I'm not going to cope with the walking and standing around in the airport and the plane is going to make me feel ill. I'm not even sure I want to do my 40 minute drive to commute to my office if I don't take the flight. But ARGH I hate this, I don't want to be ill and I feel like such a drama queen Hmm If it was anyone else I wouldn't judge them and I doubt my colleagues would judge me, but why can't I just have a nice easy pregnancy without all the bloody drama Hmm

I know I shouldn't moan, it's taken so long to get here with multiple rounds of IVF and miscarriages but I just wish I was one of those who sailed through without batting an eye.

Sounds really horrific. I would be getting signed off sick!

Yes that is pretty much what my sister and husband are saying to me. Just feel like I should be able to soldier through.

You need to ask work to make adjustments for you. Go to GP, see if they can sign a letter with your symptoms maybe outlining what you need to avoid, etc, and speak to HR. In my contract it said that reasonable adjustments can should be made in case of difficult pregnancy- it's your right.

There is no soldiering on. You are suffering! You are not having a normal pregnancy. There are people out there that choose not to work just because they don't want to. You can also start mat leave from 29 weeks. I had to do this in previous job as I worked with violent adults and my risk assessment wasn't being followed by other staff!
