What would you do??

Hey

as you all probably know i have been bleeding since finding out 8 days ago that we are pregnant but we have been monitoring my levels and they are still rising, my last level check was on tuesday and they came back at 697 they were 237
i have another bt on monday to check on things again and if everything comes back good we are booked in for a US on friday.

so here is my question:

i have to let work know tomorrow if i will be coming back on monday!!
i dont know what to do??? i am scared and in a way i am worried that if i go to work and stand for 5hrs straight while serving people and unpacking boxes to fill shelves, i might be pushing it iykwim
the bleeding is still here but its slowed down alot to compared to last week.
I dont think work will be very impressed with me if i take another week off, considering its christmas and they are flat out, but then there not the ones that have been trying to fall pregnant for nearly 7 yrs and dont want to take any risks!!!

oh bugger i dont know what to do HELP

"but then there not the ones that have been trying to fall pregnant for nearly 7 yrs and dont want to take any risks!!!"

i think this says it all, espicially if you are packing shelves and standing, there is no way id be risking it, you and your baby comes first and they will get over it!!
Thinking of you and sending you loads of sticky vibes, good luck for monday!!

is there a way you can talk to your employer about the fact that you have a medical condition at the moment, and need reduced duties (i know your dr will write you a letter if needed) - so no heavy lifting, and you need to sit for serving - or at least have the option?

i think scooby pointed out the main point - you have to do what is best for you and baby - not what is best for them - a job is a job - what you're looking at is a life babe

Reduced duites is an option for you with a med cert and maybe needed

Is it a casual role? Beacuse if no you can take more leave if you have it

thanks so much for your quick replies

i was thinking the samething, but was worried that i might of trying to wrap myself up in too much wool iykwim?

they said i can come back to work and just do registers, but i wont be able to have a chair whilst serving or to sit on while i am not serving, i dont know why i cant have a chair but apparently i cant!!

i am only casual and they told me that after christmas i wont be getting 30hrs a week like have been getting, plus my boss has been really rude about the whole situation, i was upfront with them the moment i found out i was pregnant, i rang them straight away and said that i had just found out, but am bleeding so i will be taking the week off and man was she rude!!!!

ok so do i go to work and do registers from 9-2 everyday with no chair and only a 10min break, or do we just wait and see how things go friday with the scan and then make a decision then??

i feel so bad and i hate knowing that i am letting them down but this baby means the world to me and i would be absolutley gutted if i went back to work and the bleeding got worse. i am so careful with everything at the moment, you should see me walk i am walking around at a slow pace just cos i am trying to take things easy

thanks again for your help i really appreciate it

only you can make that call - if you think you'll be ok to do a five hour shift, tell them you'll do it - if you're not up to it, you can always get a med cert to get you out of it. if you reject the shifts and you want to go in, you're screwed...
