I only worked full time while pregnant with my first and I was sick allllllllllllll the time. I think I actually missed about 2-3 weeks of work in my first trimester. I couldnt even hold water down. I looked terrible too. Since I worked in customer service for a resort my boss was more then happy to let me take the time off then come in looking like I did.
I am 32.5 weeks along and so far. Just 3 days. One for my first appointment with the doctor (I couldnt get in for weeks other wise). One for my big 18-22 week ultrasound (again, I would have to have waited weeks other wise). and One for just not wanting to work. I was tired, had been up all night not sleeping and I said screw it and called in.
i had a really easy pregnancy the first time and worked up till the day i went into labor-not like water breaking while i was with a customer or anything, just started feeling weird and i was already 7 days over due so i decided to go home. i was lucky!
None! I didn't miss a single day, other than one where I had to go into the doc to be monitored! I made sure to point that out to my boss when it came time for maternity leave! :)
I missed three days because I couldnt walk due to hemmoroids. It sucked. But thats the only problem I had he whole time I was pregnant. Thats the only time I missed :). Good luck!
