Can't blame you tbh, MrsJW, I'm not keen to have that nct bed either, even if it changed model! Besides our bed is rather high, so I'm worried about the 'rolling' into our bed. I'll be quite happy lifting baby out and giving a little cuddle, then starting bf. How was work after your lovely holiday?
Been to occupational health doctor today and was a lot less nervous than 4 weeks ago. She had had a chat with my manager and they had said that alternative duties could not be found for me. Also with my back and hip pain now, it would be too risky too. And manager had reasoned that the drive (at least an hour) would also be too stressful, etc etc,... so I won't be going back there before mat leave starts. I'll be meeting with the other manager tomorrow and we will see how their offer on alternative duties is (knowing my manager she will have some plan or idea).
Until end March I will work max 1-2 days per week. From April, we will see how it pans out, but I may ask to spread the hours over more days, and perhaps find a way to attend that aqua antenatal class they run in my gym on Wednesday morning! Quite looking forward to that!
