Oh where to start, I feel bad because I know that if someone is reading this thread then they must (I assume) be familiar with the miscarriage boards. This is my first time posting in here and my first pregnancy.
I have been warned that I am having a failing pregnancy (slow growth, irregular and slow heartbeat) and am having a repeat scan on Friday to check for a heartbeat but have been prepared for the worst.
I've already decided that if this is the case that I wouldn't want to wait for things to happen naturally, an ERPC hasn't been discussed although medical management has been mentioned so it looks like that will be my option.
I finished my shift after the news last Friday (NHS employee) and will continue to work this week. As yet, although sympathetic my manager has made no mention of having time off for miscarriage. Obviously I have no intention of working during that time and have read a few threads here about medical management to try and prepare myself.
I just wanted to confirm though (will try and ring HR myself this week). Will time off for miscarriage affect my sickness record or does it count as pregnancy related absence? My sickness record is pretty clear but I'd rather not add to it if there is no reason. Thank you for reading this.
