[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m supposed to leave for Europe on Sunday, we have a 12 day trip planned with another couple.

I just found out I’m pregnant 2 weeks ago and morning sickness and fatigue have already hit. I have no desire to travel around Europe right now. DH keeps telling me “it will be fine” but frankly, he’s not the one with constant nausea and feeling like crap.

I told DH we should either go when I’m in my second trimester and some of the nausea has subsided and I can enjoy the trip more, but he still wants to go. I don’t. Everyone keeps telling me to go, but I just don’t want to. The trip is going to take up all my accrued leave and I now want to save that leave for the pregnancy, considering I’ve only been at my job 10 months and am not eligible for FMLA yet.

I’m moreso pissed that DH is being unsupportive about me not wanting to go. I understand his reasoning for feeling upset, but I feel like crap ALL the time. [/quote]

[b]Not sure I understand.

Pregnant women often work until the seventh or eight month.

So, you can work for months...but not enjoy a vacation in Italy?[/b][/quote]

NP. You seem dumb, or inexperienced, so let me explain it to you.

Usually a job entails responsibilities that you must perform or be subject to either not being paid and/or not having a job anymore. Enjoying a vacation involves luxury, optional activities that bring one pleasure. It is perfectly possible to slog through days/weeks/months of work when one is not well. But doing this does not mean that one simultaneously possesses the ability to "enjoy" a vacation.

OP, I wouldn't go. When I was newly pregnant we cancelled on a friend's wedding because I was so sick (yet I still went to work nearly every day). They confessed a few years later that they were disappointed  and hurt that we had cancelled, until she became pregnant and ultimately had to quit her job because her sickness and fatigue were so bad. Then they understood.
