Had to make a tough decision..I just told my boss I have to take maternity leave already..I'm only 19 weeks and have a ways to go..but my current situation is very stressful..I'm always stressing on making it to my appointments(4-5 weekly)& making it to work on time..on top of that I have 2 kids 11&9. She understood and all which is great..but I feel so worried about this decision because of how my income will change..in the end tho my baby's health is all that matters to me the most..I will not risk having her too early due to all the stress..luckily my bf is working on making extra money and supports me all the way👍Just had to vent..
hope everything turns out great with ur lil one @dohmommy2016 I wish u all the patience and rest u can get..it will be tough but we can do it!😊 I think when I start to feel overwhelmed I'll cry and then remind myself that it will ALL be worth it in the end
@dohmommy2016, that sounds awful..not only are we hormonal and tired on top of that our bodies start to slowly change as we progress..oh well all for a healthy baby!
oh man @jessgtz92 it's very uncomfortable I swear some ppl dnt understand the pain and constant discomfort😔
I'm doing that one cause my doc works at the ER there & they're medical center behind the hospital as well @dohmommy2016
I have it on my left side. it's been a few days since I've felt it but it's the worst when I do feel it. @mjmommy
@mjmommy, yea I was suprised it was okay to take during pregnancy but hospital, my Dr and my specialist all said it was okay. They can't figure out was it wrong. They were sure it was kidney stones because my symptoms are exact to it but they couldn't find on ultrasound. and bw and catheter urine results all were normal results. I am having sharp pain the entire right side of my abdomen all the way down to my pelvis and also my back. and anything besides bed rest exasperates it. ): it's very odd. Dr's think that work is part of issue since I work in veterinary field so labor intensive and they think I somehow injured myself and made it worse with doing too much. They also think my lupus and other autoimmune diseases are making it all worse. @jessgtz92 nice!!! yea that would be my other choice for hospital. (:
@jessgtz92, sure is I have it on my right side..cried everyday last winter when it first hit me SMH😔😔😔
neither was I @dohmommy2016 which is why I WON'T DO IT AGAIN..In some ways I blame myself for him coming so early..I really would die if my baby didn't make it this time😭 that's krazy tho never heard of any woman on percs while expecting..may I ask what pain u suffer with cuz I have sciatica and that hurts!!!
@jessgtz92, sorry forgot to tag you. answered in one above. what about you?
omg how scary. Yea reducing stress would be super important then!!!! yea. I have had to be on percocet every 4-8 hours for pain since the hospital on Wednesday. ): as long as I basically just lay on couch all day then pain not bad but even washing dishes or the motion of sliding the closet door that gets stuck causes me to have the severe pain again. It's so annoying. I'm not good at the whole bed rest thing!! ):
@esthelaaa, I work for a private owned preschool/daycare..so it's a must I'm there daily to give my class and prepare for the next day..involves lots of walking and bending down..I also run errands for my boss thru out their nap time..Dr just feels it's too risky for me😔
@dohmommy2016, what hospital are you planning on delivering at ? 😊
@shandy69, happened to me too but I was only 7 months too early..my son made it til4 months old and passed away from H1N1..so devastating to me still!
@dohmommy2016, right! my last pregnancy only til 8 months my water broke at 7months while at work so Dr is very worried for this one..and ur on percacets now?sorry u going thru it as well
I hear ya. Dr put me on bed rest as of Wednesday at 23 weeks for a minimum of 3 weeks. I have a feeling though that they will keep me on maternity leave. /: since doing light housework causing cramping and pain to restart even while on percocet. bleh. The joys of pregnancy right?! I know it's a hard decision to go early on leave but good you are doing what's best for baby!!!
I kept working until my water broke at work, I laughed but my boss lost it & started crying! :)
thank you! I'm aiming to keep working until I'm about 38 weeks 😳
ugh in a way I wish I was taking my maternity leave already as well 😕 hope all works out for you girl 🙏🏼
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Sorry, baby name post
I've decided I'm no longer asking for my husband's input and just making my own decision. ? We only have 2.5 weeks until he'll be here and he needs a name.

This is NOT happening !!!!!!! I swear I had given up! But I'm 5 days late and I just got my BFP ???
