DH and I are going to start TTCing soon (our first). I am so worried about being really sick in the first tri. My mom was super sick with me and my sister (probably undiagnosed hyperemesis). And when I first started taking birth control pills, I got INCREDIBLY sick from them (like, throwing up a lot and stuff) and had to switch around to a really low dose. And I'm sure that dose of hormones is nothing like being pregnant, so I am really worried.

I also have a history of stomach/nausea issues with delayed stomach emptying so I feel like I'm at risk.

For those of you that WOH, how did you handle being sick in pregnancy? Did anyone ever have to leave their job or go on short term disability or something? I'm an attorney and I work in an office.

Of course, maybe none of this means anything and I'll be fine!!
