18+ weeks pregnant, been very ill in hospital 6 times, told work I had 2 go 2 A&E I was told I was emotional and stressed do I complain?!?!?

[Jemima1988]

Hello I'm sorry it's long but please give help and advice xx

I haven't had the easiest pregnancies in fact out of my 18 weeks the fist 4 were the only ones I have no been on anti sickness antibiotics or both, as you can imagine I have had a lot of time off work.

Friday just gone my branch manager was on holiday leaving me in charge this is not unusual, the unusual part was there was also another member of staff off which did cause a lot of stress and tension within branch to get all the work done on time

Around 12 I stared with a temp through the day it let to shivering, headaches, back pain leading into my belly, chest pain and a lot of heaving. I worked till I literally couldn't anymore (6 o clock) and rang my manager in tears telling her I needed to go home and other members of staff we're complaining about how late we were going to work through lack of staffing help. Her response was ......... You are just emotional, told 2 calm down and are getting stressed by the amount of work don't let it get on top on you if they want to go home come in at 7 the next day

In her defence she offered to come and help

I carried on till 8 rang her and told her I was going to the hospital and left everyone else to finish off the day she hung up on me if have text her twice since with no reply

I ended up spending 2 nights in hospital with a bad kidney infection and kidney stones

I'm not sure what to do about the situation?

Firstly, well done for going to hospital. Absolutely the right thing to do and in difficult circumstances. I'm sure you know that urinary infections in pregnancy can be a Bad Thing. I hope you're doing better now.
Your boss sounds unreasonable. Are they now aware of the situation? Clearly their issue was to get the job done. Your health was a side issue. They might genuinely have thought you were stressed and not coping but were unhelpful at best.
Maybe speak to your doctor (hospital or gp), get a plan in place for any changes in your work practice that need to be made for your health whilst pregnant and then see your boss. They might apologise if they really hadn't realised how ill you were, but if they don't then you can let them know what you will/won't be doing on medical advice.
Tempting though it is, I'd give them a chance to hear the whole story as unemotionally as you can before complaining. If you can keep a good working relationship (esp if they're feeling guilty) that's better than going in all guns blazing and potentially causing more upset. Very difficult for you so good luck.

Firstly - hope you are feeling better!
Do they know you are pregnant? Legally they can't discriminate against you due to pregnancy, and time off sick due to pregnancy has to be handled differently to time off sick when not pregnant. Definitely speak to them about it. They should have done a risk assessment for you working while pregnant to minimise risk to you - forcing you to work when unwell would surely go against that? Even forcing you to work when unwell without being pregnant is outrageous!
If that doesn't work then definitely complain.

Yes they do know I'm pregnant and they have completed a risk assessment on me.
With the way she is being at the minute ignoring my text for example I feel like I'm in the wrong ? I'm dreading going to work tomorrow my bf works for the same company and he agrees with anyone they push you way past your limits it's just a horrible company

You are most definitely NOT in the wrong! You have to take care of your self and your baby first. Try to have a word with your boss. If any problems, go to your HR department if you have one.
