I’m so much pain - will I manage ok at work?

[NemophilistRebel]

I’m 26 weeks and fell over this week.
I’ve twisted my ankle and twinged my back and the whole left side of my body hurts so much.
All I can take is paracetamol and I’ve been applying heat and I’ve packs too.

At its worse I’m in tears with the pain but when it’s ok I can stand enough to make a cup of tea.

I can’t seem to bend down much at all and sitting is painful.

I only have an office job but DH has said he thinks I need to rest it at home

Does this seem silky when I don’t have a manual job?

Don't be silly, get a sick note from the doctor and take some sick leave.

Your DH is right, of course you need to raise it at home, keep it elevated etc.

There are no prizes for being a martyr, especially not when pregnant.
