I just have to have a moan, its been winding me up all day - well since yesterday actually!
A woman at work, who is one of those 'i want 2 weeks off after the birth and then im leaving the husband to look after the kids and coming back to full time employment'
she has no real interest in kids and no sympathy whatsoever for pregnant women - its as tho she thinks that u just make a baby, no symptoms, no side effects,, just a bit of extra weight to carry around. and wen i feel im working quite late into my pregnancy (leaving at about 37 weeks) she seems to think i shud work up to the day before my due date as why would a pregnant woman need to finish before that??
argh! so annoying! She even sed about my pregnant colleague when she was off sick one day "shes only pregnant, not sick!" as if y wud she need a sick day cos of being pregnant.
May i add that she has never been pregnant and has no idea what its like - the back ache, the tiredness, the general shitty groggy feelings u get on bad days and thats on a good pregnancy - add to the list SPD/sickness/migrains and now u can maybe understand y some mums to be want to finish work early - to rest!
I just needed to vent that and may feel a bit better if u ladies indulge me in a moan!
