hey, i'm at work right now, prego, no morning sickness or anything, but i have a horrible cold. i just want to go home and lay down right now. usually i'm a trooper and i'll just stick it out and stay at work til 5, but this cold is taking a lot out of me, i'm exhausted, do you think i should take half a day for my own and the baby's sake to just relax, or just stick it out til 5 and then go home and relax? it's just a simple little question...

I know what you mean girl, I had this same thing happen to me recently. I have always been a person who didn't get enough fluids, until of course I got pregnant, but make sure you drink a ton of fluids. It really helped cut down the duration and the strength of the symptoms. I would just stick it out and go home at 5 and go to bed, and, if you still feel bad tomorrow, just take the whole day off.

Yes, go home. It may just be a cold right now, but with being pregnant you don't want to risk it getting worse, or turning into something more serious like bronchitis. Your health and your unborn baby's health are of the utmost importance and you want to ensure that you are both taken good care of. Go home, get the rest you need and get well and do not return to work until you are feeling better. You don't say how far along you are in your pregnancy, but if you don't have a prenatal visit scheduled soon with your physician, it might be wise to check in with him/her as well. All the best to you, and I hope you are feeling better soon.

You should go home so that you can relax and put your feet up, plus you are no good to your job right now. You could end up getting everyone else sick. Go home, drink some tea, and get better.

Go home! Your body is going through so much right now, this cold is probably doing you in! Go home, have some chicken noodle soup and rest.

There is nothing worse than being pregnant with a cold (I've already had 2). For my first cold I stuck it out. With my second, I hightailed it home and slept. Your employer will understand.
