I work in a school, and took a week self certificate before the holidays due to hyperemesis, my GP then signed me off for another 2 weeks (I think? ) stating stress as I didn't want people to know I was pregnant (only a couple did). GP signed me off again for 2 weeks actually stating Hyperemesis. We then had the 6 weeks summer holidays.
I emailed my head to explain that I had been signed off, they said as one of my certificates said stress, that if I was signed off for depression, I would be referred to occupation health. (this felt like more of a threat than to get me help to get me back to work). Things weren't great before I went of sick tbh.
I am now over the sickness (anyone suffering -deepest sympathy's) but I have now seen a Peri natal team at my local hospital who have written to my GP to say that I am really not well enough to go back to work, and to sign me off as I am suffering from ante natal depression.
I am due back to work next week, and will see the GP the day before hopefully to be signed off, but I am so worried that work are gong to kick up a stink.
Anything I can do? Feel bad enough about the whole thing as it is. :(
I am currently 19 + 5 weeks.
