Oh DF, I'm sos orry for all your stress. I would ask for a CVS because it can be done now rather than waiting until 20 weeks for amnio... and then you have to wait for results so youdon't really get to make a decision until the baby is practically viable. This all depends though on whether you would make a dcecision or if you would carry on with the pregnancy no matter what the outcome.
I am so terrified of the same thing happening on Mondy. This is one reason I am going for a privtate scan. I will get bloods and scan combined result before I leave the clininc... and then I will go to the NHS one later in the day already knowing what my result is. If the reading is not comforting, I will ask for the CVS as soon as I set foot in C & W on Monday.
Oh, how distressing for you. Am so sorry.
Lavita, you probably know this, but if you go back to work at the end of 6 months (althought this might have changes since my last baby 5 years ago) they have to give you back the job you left. If later, they have to give you a comparable one (and comparable usually does not involve a pay cut). You have a right to request flexible working, but if they can present a business case on why it's not to the advantage of the business, they can decline it. However, I think your idea of asking other pregnant manager about a job share is an excellent one because if you both request flexible working at the same time and work out the details amongst yourselves they will have a harder time declining it.
They can of course pay you less for part time, but only proportion to the cut in hours.
Hope this is somewhat helpful and not just stuff you already know.
Am interested to know what restaurant now. I'm not too far from Chiswick and would love to pop in and see you. We could have a meet up.
