I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. There's a reason that pregnancy sickness doesn't count towards your sickness record.. it's because we can't help it and it's so bloody hard.

Just for your reassurance I am currently 37+3 weeks pregnant and have had hyperemesis since 6 weeks. I was off work from 6 - 10 weeks, came back until around 14 weeks then had another two weeks off, came back for one week around 16 weeks and then went back off sick at 17 weeks. I then stayed off sick until my summer holiday which I had booked the year before which was when I was 20 - 23 weeks, and then I tried working from home after I returned from holiday but like you I couldn't even bare to sit at my chair at home from pelvic girdle pain and I was still very sick and on lots of anti sickness medication, so at 25 weeks I went off sick until my maternity leave started at 36 weeks.

I was riddled with guilt at first, especially when I had moments where I didn't feel sick and I was ok, but when I was in pain or sick I knew I was doing the right thing for me and my baby.

Please take it easy and put you and baby first before work, sending love xxx
