I think everyone is different. I’m an ER nurse and I have had so many days I wanted to call off for hyperemesis but I just can’t let myself do it because the rest of the team counts on me being there. I know how much it sucks working short in a busy emergency room. So I go to work and I throw up at work if I need to.🤷🏼♀️ not too long ago I was running a code on my patient and when it was all over and we had saved the patients life, the doctor looked at me and I was seconds away from throwing up and he could tell and said just go....we got it from here 😂😂😂. I gotta say if my coworkers weren’t so understanding and helpful, I wouldn’t be able to do it. 😊 Other pregnancies I have missed work but they were situations where I did not feel as guilty taking a day off.
Missing work
17 weeks now and missed 3 days of work. Called out twice in the first trimester now I just called out for tomorrow. I’m feeling really guilty cause I see all these posts with women who pride themselves on never missing a day. I don’t get paid sick leave where I work so I’d maybe suck it up a little more if I knew I could save that time. When I’m feeling bad though I’m scared to push myself and do too much. Anyone else in the same boat?
