I was the same at work too. Go to work sick cos you feel you should then get sent home! Not a good look working in a hospital and giving your patients a cold or something! ]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2006 12:02:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24786&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24786 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24738&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24738 Author: nikkitheknitter

Ok...put it this way...which is more important...work being a little grouchy or you and your baby's health. It's what sick leave is for and there is no point in making yourself worse hun. Rest and take care... ]]> Sun, 15 Jan 2006 21:24:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24707&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24707 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24684&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24684 Author: lizzle

Think of it as helping others actually. In japan people always went to work sick, consequently EVREYONE got sick. it drove me crazy. I ended up saying "GO HOME! don't bring your germs tio me", so while you may feel guilty for not going to work (i got that as well), actually you are doing them a favour by recovering fully (and thus recovering more quickly!!) and not giving your germs to others in the office.]]> Sun, 15 Jan 2006 18:17:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24684&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24684 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24671&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24671 Author: Maya

Yep, I agree. Unfortunately sometimes we can't do everything and looking after yourself is the number 1 priority. Taking time off will mean that you get better faster and are back at work quicker.]]> Sun, 15 Jan 2006 15:38:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24671&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24671 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24660&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24660 Author: aimeejoy

Exactly Nikki - thats what sick leave is for, regardless of whether you are pregnant or not. ]]> Sun, 15 Jan 2006 15:08:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24660&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24660 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24658&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24658 Author: nikkitheknitter

I don't think you are going to be very productive with infected sinuses (pregnancy aside).
Take the time to get better as you would if there was no babe.
Don't feel guilty about it, they have to make allowances for these things. That's what sick leave and maternity leave are for!

Hey ladies,

Well I toddled off to the doctor this avo, as my ears are still a bit bung and my sinuses felt like someone had filled them with lead ! Luckily my ears are not infected, just blocked, but my sinuses are - and so he said to take the next couple of days and wrote me a certificate. However right now I am swinging between feeling good about taking care of myself because I have to think of bubs as well, but guilty because I was due to go back to work tomorrow and when I rang my team leader she didn't say anything negative, but didn't sound too thrilled. I can understand this sort of, but yeah... am feeling a *little* conflicted. I hate to leave people hanging, and even apologised to her for leaving them in the lurch ~sigh~

What do you ladies think? ]]> Sun, 15 Jan 2006 14:19:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1378&PID=24656&title=dodgy-sinuses-time-off#24656
