Have you missed work because of morning sickness?

Question

My morning sickness has gotten much worse over the last week. All day nausea, but no puking. I've been tempted to leave work sick but am worried if I do it once, I'll never work again.

I teach yoga, mostly in 90+ degree heat. This morning I taught two classes back to back and felt horrible the whole time. I had to lay down for an hour after the second class, and still have another one left today. I so badly want to just go home, but I feel like I shouldn't let the morning sickness rule my life. :(

How have you guys been handling it?

Answer

I've wanted to miss work, but my boss is very insensitive to me being pregnant. She can't have kids and takes it personally if I complain about having morning sickness. I'm having to suck it up... But there are for sure days I wish I could call out.

Answer

I missed an entire week of work. You do what you gotta do! Especially for that precious baby.

Answer

You should be able to talk to your doc about morning sickness medicine, I was just prescribed diclegis... I work in an emergency psychiatric unit doing 12 hour shifts. The smells are horrendous. It's exhausting but I'm trying to push through. Also, ginger and mint is suggested to help with morning sickness. I just bought lemon ginger tea to try to deal with it naturally

Answer

So you're teaching hot yoga? I don't mean to try to tell you what to do but I was told that I could do regular yoga but definitely not hot yoga... are there other classes that you can teach there like a restorative class?

I work for myself so I don't have any choice but to work no matter how I feel, so instead I've cut out a lot of extracurricular activities.

I've missed several days because I work in a 90+ degree foundry with 1230+ degree metal. It's awful. And the smells of the oil and whatnot. I just can't do it.
