I may take a week off for vacation and just lay in bed at home though.

Re: How many times have you called in sick to work?

I called out twice, both were in the first trimester. The first time was the week the m/s really kicked in. One day it was so bad that I really couldn't function.
The second time was m/s combined with a migraine headache.
Luckily we have unlimited sick time and it doesn't interfere with my maternity benefit.

I had all day sickness at that point and I couldn't even drive with out throwing up. It was soooooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: How many times have you called in sick to work?

None yet - I'm now 31 weeks. Luckily I didn't have morning sickness. I also only work 4 days a week June - December so that definitely helps.

When I was PG with DD I only took 1 day and then I was 5 days a week all year.

Re: How many times have you called in sick to work?

None and have been working a ton of OT. It's not something i'm necessarily proud of (though, i'm not not proud, either lol). I just count myself really lucky that i've had a great pregnancy that's allowed me to feel the way i do and keep working at the same pace.

I'm 2 days shy of 30 weeks. Called in sick twice (both times during my first trimester which was very rough for me). I've had lots of days I felt like crap but have struggled through work.
