I am 32 weeks pregnant and in the army. I have been to work every day, and have no problem with it. However recently I have had extreme nausea, and I don't feel like I am in any condition to go to work. I do not have the luxury of calling in and the civilian nurses refuse to give soldiers quarters, which is sending them home due to being sick etc. I am expected to work every day until the day I go in to labor, which I have no problem with again, except for the fact that along with my nausea I'm extremely exhausted. I have no idea what to do, but I feel like a few days off would be benificial to my wellbeing. But it seems like I will have to be on my deathbed to get those days off. Does anyone have advice, or am I being unreasonable. I don't need stupid comments. I am a good soldier, who is at the end of her pregnancy. Serious answers only!

i salute you and your courage! you are brave for working up till labor....a lot of women would not be able to do that 
is there any way you can get some days off? Believe me, you are not being unreasonable, i am 32 weeks pregnant and exhausted and tired all the time....i sleep endlessly, and i would not be able to do what you are doing.....however, the fact that you are moving around and active will help a lot with your labor....the more you can stay in shape, the easier it will be....it sucks that nausea sometimes comes back at this stage of the pregnancy....but look at it this way, there's not that much time left...and you've gone through so much already....just be strong and you will be alright i suggest speaking to a doctor about nausea...in the 3rd trimester there must be some medicine you can take...i used to take a mix of mild antihistamine and vitamin B6...ask your doctor what you can do....and good luck!
