I’m a Pre-K teacher. I was outside with the kids and I sat on the bench. I’m 10 weeks pregnant with HG, severe morning sickness. Medication from my doctor isn’t working. I just try to sit to avoid puking for as long as possible. The most I sit at a time is maybe 3-5 minutes? And I’m usually talking with kids then, reapplying sunscreen, and maybe for a few seconds I have a moment to just sit and be quiet to enjoy the air.
Teacher came up to me and told me that the director outside was watching me to see if I was sitting or doing my job. I felt horrible then, watched, freaked out I am doing something wrong, and thinking about quitting while also wondering if it’s me who is doing something wrong. I’m always responsive with the kids, it’s not like something happens and I stay sitting. My directors all know I’m pregnant, every one of my coworkers knows, and they know I’ve been extremely ill. I have no clue if they’re looking for reasons to fire me or wtf is going on. They’ve always told me I’m wonderful, until the last two weeks when I’ve gotten the cold shoulder which happens to be when I’ve started sitting down more. I don’t even know how to get through the rest of the day right now I’m so unhappy and idk if I’m asking for advice or ranting but I’m so frustrated.
