Suffering!!
Show your support
Oh darling it is so hard. Wanting to be excited but just feeling so ill and debilitated. I’m really hoping it gets better for you. Xonvea was a life saver for me, really helps. Speak to gp as you gotta look after your mental and physical health! C
@El it has been absolutely awful! I teacher year 2s, the poor children ask me ‘what’s wrong?’ everyday and I’m like ‘I just don’t feel well….’ Whilst having the bin next to me. I’ve luckily not thrown up in front of them and my class TA is an amazing woman who supports me so much so I’m lucky to have her on standby in case I need to run out of the room. Work tell me ‘try a ginger biscuit’ like I haven’t already 😅
@Mila thank you Mila - I’ll look into that! My current meds are OK, but I have thrown up with them in my system still. Really hope it eases off soon. Xx
@Murihah Rashid I’m a secondary school teacher so defo couldn’t throw up in front of the kids 🙈😂 That’s so good that you’ve got her there to support you! Hahahaha oh bless you!! I’m lucky my work have been really supportive
@Murihah Rashid I feel like knocking a person out when they suggest ginger biscuits 😅
@El yeah they haven’t dismissed my struggle and I get really nervous about taking the time off but no comments have been made so far. I just know being a teacher and taking days off is a bit iffy as we get all that time off anyway but I thought at this point, don’t pay me I really don’t care! Glad your work are supporting you. How far along are you? X
@Mila 🤣 trust me, I get so wound up! Fresh air, ginger biscuits anything and I’m like just go away. Nothing will help me. Even water is not my friend right now!!
@Murihah Rashid oh bless you, if you’re ill then you’re ill! Don’t battle through it if you’re unwell They can’t not pay you for being off! As a teacher we get 50 days sick pay on full pay each academic year as long as you’ve got a contract with the school rather than being supply? Also, pregnancy is a protected characteristic so they can’t do anything to you! They can’t even put you on an attendance support plan when pregnant I’m 8 weeks exactly and I’m really suffering 😭 been bad since 5 weeks 🤦🏼♀️ it’s awful isn’t it :( x
I had HG through my whole pregnancy and weirdly the things I found that helps was - sucking on a lemon slice, full fat coke and actimel. Weirdly the only things I could stomach I also was on Ondansetron and cyclizine together to keep my sickness under some kind of control.
@Poppy I’ve heard about sucking on a lemon! I’ll give that a try. X
I don’t understand how you’ve managed to teach still!! I’ve been off for a week because I can’t cope 😭 I’m spending my entire time in bed :(
