Has anyone called in sick during the first trimester? I am home today on PTO but literally the thought of getting on a plane tomorrow is stressing me out since I've been sick all day. I don't want to be seen as a wimp/a liar in a few weeks when I have to tell people I'm actually pregnant but sometimes I wish I could just work from home until this shitty period is over.

One of my staff told me even though she was a few weeks along because she was sick all day. I liked that I could make accommodations for her and knew it was a temporary happy sickness. When she miscarried a few weeks later, I mourned with her and I think it helped me give her the time she needed to heal.

I decided to tell my SM way earlier than I planned as I was supposed to travel to a place which my doctor did not recommend I travel. SM was great about it and am home for 3 weeks. Super helpful in this weird / sicky / unpredictable time! Good luck! You can also call HR to get advice on how to proceed.

I told my staffing manager much earlier than I anticipated because I was so crazy sick. It was really helpful.

I told my engagement manager way early because I was sick as well and he was super accommodating about it. I was really lucky to have an excellent EM at the time

I stressed similarly but once I told my trusted 2, they worked hard to give me what I needed to be safe and comfortable. Others judged not knowing the circumstances but it wasn't any of their business.

I spent 3 months last year sneaking out of the team room and getting sick multiple times a day. It was miserable. I wish I would've told them earlier so they could've accommodated some travel changes

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
