Morning sickness - HELP 😢
So for the first 5 weeks of my pregnancy I was feeling pretty good. Only a few cramps here and there and NO nausea at all - up until last week.
Last Tuesday I had severe nausea and all day vomiting. I felt like absolute shit all day but the next day I went to work and made it through my day feeling pretty decent. I’ve felt okay since then, except yesterday when the nausea crept up on me and forced me to leave work early. I wasn’t able to keep anything down, not even water. It lasted all afternoon and then I tried to go to my second job at 5:00pm and started feeling slightly better but then it hit me like waves again and I was in and out of the bathroom throwing up. Left that job early too (which I plan on quitting anyway, it’s a restaurant job that I’ve had for 8 years and I just feel like it’s time for me to move on, plus it’s too hard on my body)
Anyway, I woke up today and felt soooo weak and a little nauseous STILL, so I called in sick to my morning job. I’m actually really worried that all the time I’m taking off will affect me/get me fired even though I just told the office and my supervisor that I am pregnant and experiencing morning sickness. I’m per diem, which is why it worries me. The job is unionized but I was hired as per diem so I don’t have the same protections and benefits as everybody else.

I’m just at the point where I don’t know what to do anymore, I know my health is most important but my husband and I can’t afford me not working. HELPPPP!
What did you ladies do to curve the nausea and has anyone actually been fired for taking off because of morning sickness/pregnancy related issues? I’m freaking out here lol
