AQ, after DD I had serious piles - at the mo they are nothing of a little itchy sorry TMI again for those not suffering. But Germaloids worked for me then and now (and I love the smell), and you can buy them without having to ask anyone as they are in front of the counter not behind!
Sorry to hear about your work . perhaps you could point it out a bit as to how busy you have been as well as being PG. Im with you though - time to go sick, when would be giving up work if not?
On my last day my boss wanted me to where a hard hat and give a speech - dickhead! When I refused to wear the hat he did his speech which was 5 minutes waffling on about all my achievments during the year - which I had only heard the day before at my appraisal, and all my colleagues knew anyway as we are only a tiny dept. Not once did he refernce I was actually leaving to have a baby.
Also found out from the ladies in the office he had wanted them to go and buy something (square-solid) for me as opposed to vouchers - but when they refused he nearly did it himself, then realised he did'nt have a fecking clue what someone having a baby needs. Let alone someone having thier second - who already has lots of stuff. Right going to stop talking about that idiot now as it's raising my BP and I have finsihsed working for him for at least 6 months.
AQ my sympathies and a large handful of Cadburys Heroes to you (()).
BTW I also have a spotty blanket - but mine is a comfort blanket for DD to give to bump.
