I know lots of people haven't had the luxury of being off since Christmas Eve like I have, but I am absolutely dreading going back to work on Tuesday. I am 32 weeks and my tiredness levels rocketed just before the Christmas break but have been relatively easy to cope with as DH and I planned a very relaxed festive season.

The stupid thing is I only have four weeks til maternity leave, but the thought of getting up and commuting on Tuesday morning makes me want to weep. Pathetic I know...

I went back part time after 9 months off for my first.
Within 2 months of being back at work, I had a slipped disk ( so was on reduced hours , after being off sick, unable to move). Then I found out I was pregnant again!! So basically spent my whole time on light duties !!
Work made it obvious they wernt happy with this, and I was treated differently - after a previous 8 year good attendance and hard working record. Sad
So . . I am still on maternity leave with my second, and due to go back in two months.
I have been joking with my friends that I should have another to stay off work.
Guess what . . . I found out 2 days ago I am pregnant AGAIN !!
Shit - can you imagine how scared I am to tell work this news !!?? Confused

Actually, on reflection, I did OK, yesterday, was not too exhausted and still quite perky by later afternoon. I have booked some odd days leave in Jan & Feb so am starting to feel like things will be easing off and I can give myself a break, and after yesterday, have much more confidence in my ability to cope on the days I am in work.
