Have you taken any time off work due to morning sickness?

Question

I’d be interested to hear how common this is, if you changed your hours, how long you had off, how supportive your boss was, etc... 
Personally, I’m starting to struggle with exhaustion and lack of appetite with sone queasiness. I’m starting a new job soon so I’m a little worried about these symptoms getting worse. I’m 6 weeks.

Answer

My manager was great about it but I also had severe morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum) and couldn’t keep anything down for days. Once I got Diclegis, I rarely had to call off but I would recommend just being open with at least your manager about it.

Answer

Gingerale and peppermints help :) and snacking throughout the day helps too:)

Answer

My previous pregnancy I worked through it, but this time I feel horrible ALL the time even with medication. Now I’m lucky enough to have summers off, but I can promise if I was this sick and at work, I would have taken time off. My place of work is pretty accommodating (liberal university) so I don’t think I would have had a problem.

Answer

I had severe sickness from 6 weeks to 16 weeks. I am not able to take a day off sick without severe consequences . I just had to work through it. It was horrific.
