I cannot begin to say how much you are the jerk! My mom and sister both had great pregnancies. They felt great, gained an appropriate amount of weight, and basically just glowed from day one. I, in the other hand, was sick THE WHOLE TIME! I threw up everything I ate or drank, had horrible heartburn so I had difficulty sleeping, and had headaches from dehydration. You can’t just pop a few Advil like you can when you’re not pregnant so I also had to suffer through a lot. On top of that, I worked at a preschool so I was constantly active. I was so lucky to work for an amazing company with awesome coworkers who had my back and understood that I still wanted to be there even though sometimes I physically couldn’t. I get that your company has certain requirements of its employees but you have the choice in how you handle this situation. I would heavily advise you to talk with your employee to see what she needs from you as a boss before you write her off. If she miscarries from stress she has a legal right to sue you and the company for undue stress. Stop being such a masochistic jerk and realize that women have different pregnancies and you are not at all entitled to tell her OR ANYONE ELSE how they can and cannot feel when they are sick.
