So I'm 17 weeks and I'm getting a mix of good and bad days. Not been sick my whole pregnancy, but the feeling of sickness, MY GOD was strong and I still get that from time to time. I work 6am starts on a 30 hour contract, so finish times vary to get my 30 hours a week.
I had 2 days off this week as my days off for the week. I felt fine on those days, slept amazing. Then I went back to work yesterday and soon as I left I felt exhausted, was on my feet from 6am and then had my half an hour break at 9am and was on my feet then on self service checkouts till I finished at 1pm. I felt so sick last night and was asleep before 8pm and we have an air con problem in work so it's so humid in there. That definitely kicks off my headaches I know that. I drink water like it's going out of fashion in there. This morning I work up with a mild headache and I went to work just thought grin and bare it, but I had to ask to be sent home. I just feel so guilty for leaving before my finish time. My boss is a stickler as well, so she just said "okay see you tomorrow morning" and walked away. Now im laying in bed so guilty I left. I can't afford to leave early, but also don't want to torture myself by staying and making myself more sick feeling.
What im trying to say is, which is on my mind. Can this be used against me? Im so scared I'll lose my job because I've been off 3 times since I found out I was pregnant because of sickness and one of the times was because I had the flu so she didn't put that down as pregnancy related.
