Hello all

I need some advice.
I'm 6 +3 days pregnant.
I work 12 hrs shifts 1 week out of the month is a 4 day shift a week and the rest is 3 days.
I work from 7 am till 7pm or 7pm to 7am.
Normally it's exhausting but I'm dreading how it's going to be now.

I'm currently on annual leave but due back at weekend, I work mainly with men who bless them are quite old fashioned.
I've told a couple of people that I'm pregnant at work.

My tiredness and morning sickness have kicked in now and I'm struggling at the mo.
I'm dreading doing 12 hrs stuck in an office 3 to 4 time a week.
I've told my boss I'm pregnant but because my jobs a very hands on job and there's only 4 of us on at a time I feel they won't be able to be flexible with me in terms of bad days.

I'm worrying myself that people will think ill of me, my partners worrying about me, but more importantly I'm worried of how tired I'm going to be and sick

Does anyone have a similar kind of problem or have any advice.
I dont want people to think im pulling a fast one of I have to call in sick for a particularly bad day of sickness

Ps I also have 2 children 13 yrs old and 11

Thank you
