I'm 11 weeks pregnant with horrendous morning sickness. I took a week of annual leave to rest then recently had another 1.5 weeks off sick.
Went to the doctors yesterday who confirmed HG. I've lost weight, vomiting multiple times a day and struggling to keep food and fluids down. Doctor signed me off work for another 3 weeks.
This is unprecedented for my team and company. There's a culture of working very hard and very long hours and even one sick day from a team member is a disaster in the eyes of the Director.
I was scared to tell my boss but I did... his reaction was 'well what are you capable of doing?'
I explained that I was as capable as any person suffering with the norovirus + the worst hangover of their life as that is how I feel.
He has asked me to WFH on some project work today then sent me a list of tasks to do at 5pm. He will expect them done by tomorrow.
Just got DD to bed and simply can't face it. I do have a few moments of respite from the sickness but I need them to try and shower or force down some dry toast.
Any advice on how to deal with this without damaging relations with my boss and team?
