Third trimester and going back to work...

Hi there,

I'm 7 months pregnant and due to be going back to work in September. I'm pretty worried about COVID and even though I'm double jabbed I'm worried about suddenly being back around so many people.

Anyone feeling the same?

Me definitely! I'm hoping they'll let me WFH but they seem to be reluctant.
I'm getting my midwife to write a letter supporting my request to WFH and trying my drs too.
Im having panic attacks over being forced back to school in third trimester (I'm nearly 29 weeks currently).

@mamatobee I totally understand. I'm speaking to my midwife this week to see what she thinks and then if work aren't understanding I will speak to the GP. I don't want things to get nasty before going on maternity leave but I also just don't want to take any risks

I will be 27 weeks when I go back and I’m also nervous about going back. There doesn’t seem to be any hard and fast rule now

My head didn’t think I’d be back when we talked in July. Although I’m not assigned to a class/year group as I’m only doing 2-4 weeks (depending on different things) when we return. Have no idea what I’ll be doing.
