[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what she's supposed to do if she is puking in the morning.  I had bad morning sickness throughout my first trimester.  I normally took the subway into work, but after having to get off at a stop and puke in the garbage can, I had to drive.  Not safe to drive when you feel like any movement is going to make you throw up.  Luckily, my boss was very understanding and all I had to do was send a "having a difficult morning.  Will be however many minutes late".

You sound like a bitch.  No other way around it.  Sorry she's not as amazing as the MANY other people you know who sucked it up and just puked all day at work.  [/quote]

She's not actually puking. What you're referring to is what I mean that I've seen in others - who still came to work.[/quote]

I have to agree with OP here.  I had severe all-day sickness with actual vomiting literally all day long.  I ended up hospitalized 2x with each pg for dehydration and still went to work every day and even the day after being in the hospital each night with the dehydration.  I was never late and I didn't miss work except for appts.  I don't think it's a really good excuse.  I also had this condition from 6 weeks pg to the day I gave birth and I worked up to the I gave birth both times.  She is completely taking advantage and I would be worried that she wouldn't step up to take on your work, OP, when your out.

I am also a fed btw, so I could have taken sick leave and was even offered medical leave but I didn't want to take advantage.
