I have been under alot of stress the last couple of days (have a meeting on Monday regarding an apparent complaint against me from the mother of the children I used to look after). Even though I know I have done nothing wrong and many of my friends suspect she lodged the complaint to get out of paying for the previous 3 weeks that she owes me for, I am still really stressed out about it. I have never had a warning or anything bad at any previous job - in fact in many of my previous jobs over the past decade the only time I have had a meeting with the big bosses has been to congratulate me on doing an outstanding job so this has really floored me.
Anyway the reason I'm sharing is because I have been getting cramps - lower right side (basically the bottom of the baby bump). They come and go but at times are quite painful. It started Thursday night after I found out about the complaint so I'm assuming it's just my bodies reaction to the stress but I am a bit worried. How long do you think I should wait before going to the Dr or hospital? I don't want to seem over-the-top paranoid or whatever and as I said I'm assuming it's just a reaction to the stress but I'm also worried about what if it is something else? something more serious?
Also one of the things I have been accused of is "having inappropriate conversations in front of the children". I want to know as mums and mums to be what you would think would be inappropriate conversations? i would assume anything of an adult nature: sex, extreme violence etc and anything which puts someone down, anything racist, sexist etc? And I have never done any of this so I'm stumped as to what this accusation is about. One of the other parts of the complaint relates to an incident which did happen in early Feb and at the time I explained to the mother what had happened and apologised as I realised I had reacted poorly to the situation. The mother appeared to accept my explanation and apology and continued to send her kids here (even pressuring me to take them when I was sick) so if she hadn't accepted my aplogy and explanation then why keep sending them to me for a further 2 months and only complain when she was already leaving anyway to move interstate. She lodged the complaint on Thursday morning but still wanted the kids to come to me on Friday (though I told Family Day Care that I didn't think I could put on a happy face for the kids when I was so stressed about these allegations so asked them to cancel it). What I don't understand is if it was so bad why still want the kids to come here - even after lodging the complaint???
I have this meeting 2 hours before my 20 week ultrasound. What an emotional day that is going to be. I really hope there is no bad news at the ultrasound as I don't think I could cope with it. And I really hope these cramps go away. i just keep thinking so long as there is no bleeding then I'm fine??!!
