Reason to miss work?

Okay so I’m all for mental health days being treated as regular sick days, but my employers aren’t. I’m just over 11 weeks pregnant and it has been rough. The nausea, fatigue, overall feeling like junk. I’ve gone to work on my worst days, crying there because I feel so horrible. On top of it, my depression has decided to show its face full force, causing my anxiety to worsen and my days to get harder.

My boyfriend has tomorrow off work and is telling me to call in sick and just spend the day with him sleeping, eating and spending time together. Yes I need it desperately, but I get really anxious when it comes to calling in. I hate being an inconvenience.

I go above and beyond for my job everyday and never get appreciation, I actually get uncomfortable sexual jokes thrown at me and put down for forgetting small things.

I just need a day. Does anyone have a valid excuse that could help me?
