Yes!!! Exactly the same while I was pregnant. However, now my boy is here and looking back….I shouldn’t have felt guilty! It is soooo important to take care of yourself and when your body tells you to slow down you must listen! Nothing is more important than yourself and the little one you are creating inside! 🩵

My work allows pregnant people to have as many days off as long as it’s pregnancy related and it won’t go on your tracker. I had many days off due to sickness and sent home multiple times. Don’t feel guilty your work should be making your job easier for you

YESS! i relate to this so much. Can’t seem to relax or take a day off when it is needed due to overthinking that I’m not doing enough for me and my family, and can’t bare to think my partner is doing ‘all the work’, even though i work just as hard, if not harder. But it’s always important to listen to your body and do what’s best for you and your baby! I currently have a horrendous cold & im still pushing myself but definitely know that if i need the day off this week then I’m going to have to prioritise myself and my twins before any work🤍

Im on maternity atm but yes and it was horrible but remember to your baby your their only life source, to them your someone theyre going to replace when your off.
