Work is making me ill

Hi,

I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant and working Monday to Friday 8:30-5 on a acute medicine ward.

It can be a hectic and stressful environment a lot of the time. I love my job but I've noticed that my sickness is throughout the day most days I'm at work. I'm hardly sick when im off at weekends and I thinks it's due to more down time and less stress.

My team are aware I'm sick a lot at work and they do what they can to help but I don't know how I can help my self feel better. We get 1 hour break for dinner and no other little rest breaks so resting at work is difficult. I'm on the go most of the day trying to power through.

Any advise or tips from people who have been in this situation would be greatly appreciated.

You can speak to your line manager and request a pg risk assessment to see how they can help. You could split your breaks, maybe have flexible hours, occy health will see you if you ask.
