Hi - just need to have a bit of a rant i'm afraid!
I am 24 weeks pregnant with #2 and work pt for local government (2 days one week and 3 the next). The problem is that my mw can only see me on Wednesdays and Thursdays which are the 2 days that I always work every week. To be fair, i've had to have a lot of time off recently due to amnio, scans, check ups etc but i cant help it if the appt dats fall on my work days. I find it harder being pt because you feel you dont really have the right to extra time off as you're not there all the time anyway.
Anyway, had an ante natal appt booked for 8th Feb (wed) which wouldnt have been too bad as it was first thing in the morning. Now mw has called me this morning to rearrange it to the Thurs before (2nd Feb) at 10.45am. There is a big meeting the day before that i'm meant to be minuting and which needs to be done by the Fri am so its going to be another morning that i'm not at work (i live half an hour away from work).
Obviously my baby comes first and there would never be any question of work coming first but i'm beginnig to feel a bit awkard especially as i only started the job in July last year. Also, there's a lady there who is also pregnant and who works full time!!!!
Dont know really why i've posted all this - just need some reassurance that i'm not a bad person i think!!!
