Feeling so guilty to call in sick to work..

But I feel so exhausted thinking of the next day already while in bed.. I am a primary school teacher and I am dreading to go work. I feel bad for other teachers to cover my lessons and at the same time, i feel even worse thinking about my students missing out on lessons. But i just feel so exhausted and lazy thinking about having to put on a face and engage with others. I am currently 24 weeks now and FTM. Am I a bad person? What would you do if you were to be in my shoes?

Maybe get your doctor to write you few days of MC so you can rest? Or no choice take sabbatical leave (unpaid) until after you give birth. But maybe try offer to do zoom with your students at least?
