The other day my babies HR on the CTG was up around 180 when she was apparently moving around (not that I could feel). It then went back down to 120-140
Ask yourself - what if you were one of the parents who was dropping off a child at the daycare. Would you mind taking a day off work, or calling someone to look after your child for one or two days knowing that the lady looking after the kids was putting herself and her unborn baby at risk? If it was me, I wouldn't mind at all. I'd be calling the parents, explaining the situation and putting my feet up.
Thanks girls, after your advise and a very stressful afternoon I have advised all the parents that I will not be working tomorrow or Friday. I know one will certainly not be impressed but the others should understand.
One parent didn't realise that I wasn't working today (they were provided the information and signed a copy of the letter given to them) and they didn't arrange after school care for their prep schoolie and I got a call from another educator asking why I wasn't there so ended up having to rush the school (was at the doctors waiting to see someone) to collect him as his dad works 20 minutes further away than I was... so not a fun afternoon... after the stress from all of that the mega headache I got from stressing made the decision for me... my baby is worth more than the $100 a day I get from the job...
