I'm in a new job, working for a school system for the first time. I happened to become pregnant during the first month of school and it has made the transition very difficult between the hormones, fatigue and everything that comes with learning a new job! So far, I have had to miss a total of 6 days of work in just over 3 months and I am feeling very guilty. One absence was due to a funeral, and two were mandated bed rest after an emergency at about 9 weeks. The others have all been various illnesses due to having a suppressed immune system and working will young children for first time! Usually I can push through, but when pregnant you are limited in what you can take and it just seems to hit much harder! It's rough. I also have higher risks associated with my pregnancy and may need additional time off for additional appointments, including a cystectomy. Anyone else feeing guilty about missing work? I worry about losing my job.
