I'm currently pregnant (30 weeks) and found it difficult to travel into the office due to PGP. As i was working flexibly anyway, The dr gave me a fit note requesting reasonable adjustments for me to avoid commuting and wfh for all 5 days, not that i was unfit for work otherwise.

my manager has got back to me and says he's signing me off as he can't accommodate me wfh for all my days.

I've said I'm fine to stay working as i am then as i can't afford to go on ssp and would rather force myself into work then be off sick. but employer has considered me not fit for work and I'm not allowed back. did i shoot myself in the foot asking for reasonable adjustments? x

See this is what gets my back up and puts women back years in the workplace. You couldn't make it into work for 2 days a week but as soon as you realised it would affect you financially you're all better and magically can get back to the office?

That is completely uncalled for. I assume that you can afford to live on next to nothing - pregnant or not. Or do you live off somebody elses income?

What puts women back years in the workplace is attitudes like yours. I am the first person to call someone out - man or woman - if I think they are swinging the lead. But there is not a shred of evidence that this is the case here.
