i know this is probably going to sound really stupid but im just wondering how many days off ill expectant mums have taken due to pregnancy? so far i have taken 6 days and i feel really guilty over it. i cant explain its just that i feel like i am letting my employer down or i am going to be seen by those i work with as taking the pi**. my boss hasnt been unsupportive of my pregnancy but i have quite a demanding job and its only me that does it (ie. if im not in the work doesnt get done). also i have only been in the job since April so they dont know how little time i would normally take off ill under normal circumstances. im 17 weeks. i took three days off two months ago because i had a cold and felt really run down after weeks of constant sickness. this week i went home on Monday cause i had really bad growing pains in my sromach and the midwife said work may not be the best place for me at the mo. i have taken her advice as she sent me to the docs to get checked out for appendicitis which really scared me and its made me take her advice more seriously. i suppose i am just looking for some reassurance from other expectant mums....
ps. also i have just come back from two weeks leave...
