Omg I feel you 😭 I’m 8 weeks and I’ve been off for a week and a half now. I throw up once every morning after breakfast then spend the day feeling nauseous, dry heaving at smells, and feel exhausted. Got the horrid taste in my mouth too. I got a drs note last Wednesday for 2 weeks which has given me the space to not stress about work and just rest. It’s very tough and I don’t think it’s talked about how awful it is to be at work when feeling like this!
I got a sick note last pregnancy around 6/7 weeks for 2 weeks then did short days when I returned. Honestly if you need it do it, I think I might this time too I’m only 5 weeks and already on anti sickness tablets, but also trying to count down to Christmas leave in 5 weeks! I’ve also only been there 3 months after leaving for a year
I was off work for 12 weeks with my first pregnancy due to sickness. Defo do it, it helped so much xx
This was me today and I’ve been in my job just over 3 months it’s horrible been feeling sick all day today. I still feel sick now and work are making me go in tomorrow they obviously don’t understand what it’s like
I had called in 3 times and now can’t have any more time off so you have done the right thing, I was like you during week 6 but now I’m nearly 8 weeks I’m sleeping a lot better and luckily I have had a couple days where the feeling sick hasn’t been there
I was really sick with my first baby, my morning sickness started around 6 weeks and due to me working in health care I felt like I was running to the toilet more than I was looking after anyone therefore me and my work decided that I would probably have to get a sick note my was that bad i unfortunately didn’t go back to work until I was around 25 week
