Name changed.
I'm a senior in my line of work (relevant) and since staff have found out about my pregnancy I feel I'm no longer being seen as I should be.
We all work very closely together as a small team but that team often changes depending who is on shift. When I am on shift I lead the shift yet have people beneath me telling me my limitations and what I'm "allowed" to do and it's really grating on me.
E.g I asked a new starter to help me do some slight manual handling earlier this week that was well within my abilities and she point blank refused to do it unless it was with somebody other than me!
Another time I had loaded the dishwasher and somebody told me off for pushing the draws in because she thought it was too heavy for me and the final most annoying thing was somebody gave me a glass of water and said "I see you've not had a drink lately. When I next see this glass I expect it to be empty."
WTF!
Is it just me or have some of you had this too? Why do people think we're disabled and need caring for just because we're pregnant.

To be pissed off at people patronising me now I'm pregnant
