Pregnancy Guilt

Context: I've exhausted all my sick leaves from earlier in the year due to my issues w menstruation and the usual sickness like flu cough etc.. Now, ever since I was pregnant from End July to date, I've been on 7 unpaid leaves as my pregnancy symptoms are really extreme and bad (nausea, vomitting, headaches, weakness, body aches, dizzy, trembles, shakeyness). To the point ive barely left home, amd if I do within 1 hour 2 i have to go home as my body doesnt feel right. Plus, my job involves caring for moderate to high special needs children. Which is physically demanding.. Help.. Ive been feeling so guilty for not working, taking all these leaves.. My next hosp appt is 25 Aug.. Any advice mummies? Ive had multiple breakdowns and I can barely sleep or eat.. #pleasehelp #advicepls #firstbaby #firsttimemom
