Work during pg

[jellybean88]

Unfortunately I don't have a very understanding boss when I needed a bit of time off last pg she told me pregnancy is not an illness but she can't say no to sick leave if my dr agrees
I just thought I'd see what every one thought I don't feel very confident because my workplace is not very nice to people needing sick leave

Also I'm only on half shifts already due to anxiety and depression

If you get a certificate you're all clear. If you're really breathless and your heart is banging away you should get your iron checked. Mine was really low a couple of months ago and I had lots of trouble catching my breath and thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest it was pumping so hard! I still get a bit breathless now but it's more squishing of my lungs by bub. You'll feel exhausted too with anaemia. But still take the time off and rest if you need it you don't want to run yourself right down

Do not let your employer make you feel guilty about taking care of yourself whilst pg. Get that medical certificate and do the best thing you can- look after the mother of your babies!

I recently resigned from my job for similar reasons. Illness, exhaustion, and a slimy pr*** of a boss who just didn't ever cut me any slack.

Put yourself first just this once.
