Maternity leave

Post subject: What type of job do you do? If I had managed to last til my maternity leave date I would have been 32wks but had to be signed off sick. I know some people who have sit down office jobs are able to last a bit longer but I dread to think about trying to work in a few weeks time! xxx

Post subject: My last day is my due date-lol
Three weeks ago I switched to light duty-so I'm doing office work-Thank God!! My advise is just listen to your body! I thought I could keep doing my job, but realized it was too much and most companies have to accomadate you with an alternate work situation. I work in a maximum security psychiatric hospital with mentally ill criminals. When patients became fixitated on my pregnancy, I had to change positions! _________________   Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 9:05 pm

Or that i become part of some delusional ideas. _________________  Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 9:22 pm

Post subject: Up to you Hay there, I really think its up to each person. I finished a demanding job where I was in and out of a car all day and on my feet the rest of the time the week before I was due. I then spent that week spring cleaning the house and I felt great. I was growled at by my midwife though!!!! See how you feel, your body will tell you when enough is enough or your husband will. GOOD LUCK!!!

Post subject: Wow, tealbutterfly, we're in similar fields!
Before I told Anyone I was pregnant, a patient approached me and said that I would be having kids soon! I have seen with mentally ill patients that they have a primal instinct. I later found out that he became fixated on the last pregnant woman so I was advised to avoid contact with him. I received lots of compassion from certain patients and also increased anxiety from patients regarding my leave. I thought it was best to terminate sessions with notice rather than not showing up one day due to me delivering! Good luck!!! How far along are you? _________________
