Hi all, hoping for some advice please.
I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant with my first baby. It's taken us quite a while and multiple rounds of IVF to get here.
This week I had some unexpected bleeding and was admitted to EPAU - it's now stopped and they've found a heartbeat so they've discharged me with instructions to return if it reoccurs. I'm now wondering what to do about return to work. Work weren't very happy that I was off (they asked me to come back to work on the day I'd left hospital). It's not a great working environment - I got redeployed onto a failing, under-resourced project just as I was starting my latest round of fertility treatment and because it's failing everyone has been quite stressed. I've felt attacked on occasions by other team members. I'm now wondering whether the work stress has contributed to this or puts me at greater risk of complications. Part of me thinks I should go back to work on Monday and suck it up - the other part of me thinks I should try and stay off work for a bit longer, but I don't know what I would say to the doctor about why I would want to be signed off and I feel like he would also tell me to stop moaning.
I don't know what to do - any thoughts?
