Work sickness
Has anybody taken time off sick? I took 2 days off a fortnight ago as felt so ill and have been working since. I work from home and was physically sick throughout most of today and just feel completely drained now. I feel like I’m messing them around by taking sporadic days off but just feel like it’s really affecting my work as well and need more time off 😩

Thanks Shannon, I have also been very hesitant to take any leave as my company is going through a redundancy period but your words are encouraging!
These are my thoughts exactly being in first trimester I have been missing days and leaving early do what’s needed !!! These jobs will let us go within a blink of an eye regardless if you have time definitely use it and congrats on pregnancy
Since my sickness started I've been off for a few days every week for the past 3 weeks and I feel terrible about it. I went home early today and cried. I feel like work must think I'm taking the mick but the nausea is constant 🤢 don't feel bad at all as we all need to rest and feel better for baby! Xx
I can't even imagine going into work feeling how I feel right now
I’m 11 weeks I’ve had quite a bit of time off work with hyperemesis. It’s been really hard as I started a new job this September and I’ve never been one to take time off work, but I haven’t established a reputation at my new work place so it’s really hard not to worry. Thankfully they have been so understanding. Just here to say you aren’t alone!
