Firstly congrats on being pregnant. :-)

No they can't but you might need to tell your work early why you're not well.

I work in a hospital and had to let them know around 8 wks too as I was pretty sick.

The good news is that it should get better in a few weeks.

U Can go to ur g.p he maybe able to prescribe some medication to help with nausea. .. rest as much as u can while ur off to build ur strength and check ur works sickness policy because u may get pay for so long x

Congrats on being pregnant. On these weeks from 5 to 15 I had also have nausea, tired, sleepy. At least you should know it will be OK after some weeks. During these weeks I was also desperate and havent have any hope that I will be OK. However, second trimester was OK at least I could eat most of the food. I had also reflux during first trimester and I took Gaviscon. Anyway, now I am in 3. trimester and good luck with your pregnancy..
