Article recommended for coworkers on morning sickness

A male coworker has started to ask me questions about morning sickness. He was questioning why I am working from home (because I am vomiting ...). I would love to point him to a good article that explains morning sickness to men and coworkers. Can anyone recommend a good one where the audience is intended for someone other than the mom? Thanks

Re: Article recommended for coworkers on morning sickness

  • Honestly? I’d tell him to Google it. Or ask his mom. Or a sister, or any female relative he might have or a female friend or a dad he knows or literally anyone other than his coworkers. It’s not that hard to find out info on morning sickness. Guy is being purposefully dense.

  • @jolieagbfillePlease do not start passing out articles to coworkers, unless they specifically ask for them.  The clueless man shouldn't be asking about medical situations, and it is your right to tell him simply that you have a medical condition that currently warrants you to telework. But it is unprofessional and uncouth to just start telling people to read up on your medical conditions, when they haven't asked you for input about it.  You don't know everyone's situation or past history, and you don't need to be imposing just because one coworker is acting like a douche.  Honestly, as a 5 time loss mama, with no living children, if a coworker walked up to me and either handed me an article or emailed me a link to an article about morning sickness, I would scream and punch them in the face.  HR be damned.
