So I am 27 weeks pregnant and have Fibromyalgia just gone back to after being off sick. Well it's been a few weeks.My baby due 21 February
This week my hours have done up to 3 days which is 12 but have felt well last night so called in sick.
I work in retail do I planned to work through Christmas and go maternal leave start of January and ask them if I can use my remarks holiday which is 4 weeks.
I have sent the forms back to HR yesterday by email.
The problem is I don't think I am going to last even through Christmas as it's getting busy already.
I have done 2 days it's wiped me out. I have increased pain in arms, legs. Last night could sleep haven't felt well. So called in sick today.
I am wondering if I should just go off earlier and although wanted and needed extra money don't think I will even get to Christmas busy period.
I been quite anxious with this pregnancy so for me my own well being my concern. If not can see them telling me to go on maternity leave sooner which right now honestly wouldn't mind actually stopping now.
I want to keep trying maybe until middle December but don't want to push myself. It's my fibromyalgia too the pain in legs, lower back is bad again.
What's best thing to do? Do you think I should contact HR re submit form with earlier date on it. Like middle December honestly don't think I can carry on.
Plus we had a lot of staff leave so tried hanging on too. As just me and other two people permanent staff and rest temps.
So very stuck at the moment.
