Today, at work, someone heard me throw up. I then got called aside and told being hungover at work is unacceptable. I don't drink. I'm pregnant. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I threw up on a police officer who was trying to do a random breath test. I wasn't drunk or hungover. I'm pregnant and suffering morning sickness. FML
Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, without any warning from my body whatsoever, I had to go to the bathroom at work to puke. I was then fired for being ‘drunk’ at work. I wasn’t drunk, just sick. FML
Today, I got fired for not being mature enough. I just found out I’m pregnant. FML
Today, as I was pulling into work at 15 weeks pregnant, I projectile vomit all over myself and my vehicle. I had an emotional breakdown as I went back home, and called my boss to let him know I would not be in that day. I am now looking for a new job. FML
Today, I was called to be told I'm fired for not showing up for my shift. I guess she didn't check her voice message to see that I gave birth last night. FML
Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML
Today, at work, I had some palpitations, which ultimately caused me to become hot, dizzy, and pass out. I couldn't go home because we were so short staffed, and three different colleagues asked me if I was pregnant. FML
Today, I told my husband I was pregnant, then he fainted. FML
Today, I started crying at work for absolutely no reason. My pregnant coworker walked up to me and said, "Pregnancy hormones, huh?" I never even told her I was pregnant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

congrats! and some women wait to tell their jobs for different reasons. I waited to tell mine until I was 5 months along to make sure the baby was healthy.

Well it is an easy explanations so hopefully they understood. Even though it IS easily fixable, I do agree that it is an FML. The FML is that the OP's coworkers/boss (whoever yelled at her/told on her, etc.) automatically assumed she was hungover rather than having morning sickness or AT LEAST that she was sick! But congratulations, anyway!

She wasn't. She said she DOESN'T drink. Please read.

How is this an FML?

This isn't an FML, it's an easily remedied misunderstanding. Come back when your life is actually ******.

I'm amazed that nobody has clued in that she might not want to tell her boss she's pregnant because she's afraid of employment repercussions. There are still employers, especially in at-will states in the U.S., who will pass up an employee for a deserved promotion or choose her to be laid off if they find out she's pregnant. She shouldn't have to put herself at risk for discrimination in order to not have people assume she's hung over just because she threw up.

OK, just checked and she's in the UK--I'm not sure what their laws are on discriminating against pregnant women, but it's still a risk even if she has the law behind her.

Most women wait until after the nuchal sono at 12 weeks to share the news. This is to make sure they have a healthy baby. She probably could not tell them the truth yet so yes, FHL...for now.
