....to expect more support from work when pregnant?

[modmum79]

AIBU or am I right to expect my work to offer me some level of support whilst I'm pregnant? Am 28 weeks pg and do a stressful job, managing staff and meeting hefty targets. I work in a really male dominated environment, and from the moment I've told them I'm pregnant I've had no support at all from my work- even though I've found things really tough, and getting tougher every day.

The deadlines keep piling up, I'm exhausted, and end up crying in the loos most days, which is pathetic, but the state that things have got in. And yet at work I'm constantly being reminded that pregnancy is no excuse to let up. My boss doesn't even acknowledge that I'm pregnant and it makes me furious that they expect so much from me and give so little back.

I really don't know how I'm going to get through these final weeks without just demanding some slack!

I felt the same when I was pregnant. At the same time thought I had to work twice as hard to prove I wasn't using it as an excuse to slack off.
YANBU to want support, but if you've got to 28 wks without it, you probably won't get it now.
Have you had a risk assessment? (My company didn't even bother :( ) Stress levels and breaks should have come up in that.

Your company have to find a way of managing without you as you'll be off in a couple of months!
