Hi all
Am new to this board and to pregnancy....at the grand old age of 41 and being told I'd probably never have children, here I am expecting our first (23+4)!
I have been having niggles on and off for a few weeks (and was signed off by GP for pregnancy related illness as they thought a brewing water infection) but last week I walked into the village where I live which is no more than 5 minutes each way and when I got home I was in total agony.
Have been diagnosed with SPD and it is eye watering. Today is my first day back at work and my usual 10 minute saunter from the train station to work took me 25 minutes and I was in tears by the time I got here.
Sadly my colleagues seem to think that I am milking the situation - nothing said outright but some sarcastic comments like "wait until you're 8 months gone", "these things weren't even around in my day". Going from sitting to standing and then having to walk even to the loo is killing me. I should also add that I suffer from fibromyalgia and this seems to be exacerbating the situation.
I have a meeting with HR this afternoon and am dreading it as I had to have time off with sever morning sickness too.
Any help/advice would be wonderful.
Many thanks in advance
