so called into work last night, first time for everything. I was swelled so bad and knew my body needed rest. well, they appeared butthurt that I did, even though being pregnant and a cardiac patient, still working at 26 weeks is a huge accomplishment for me. So how does everyone else deal with similar situations? I called Dr, he still thinks I need to take my medical leave but I'm just not ready mentally or financially. BTW, I'm am LPN, and almost always work more than 40 hours a week!

Shame on them!! Sorry hon. I worked until 39 weeks, no health problems but migraines, but I was damn near in tears asking my boss to take leave a week early. Just don't let yourself get that far is my best advice!

healthcare are particularly jerks about when you can't come to work in my experience. I just tell them and don't feel guilty I had the flu at work with the elderly!!!! and they had a hissy fit about me having a doctors note to stay home. then forced me to pick up extra shifts to make it up.

@mommagotbump16, I was diagnosed with an aortic ascending aneurysm right before finding out I was pregnant. I also have lupus, which resulted in bedrest with my first child at 16 weeks. 26 weeks, I felt I was doing great! shows they only care about themselves, really upsetting

completely off topic but how long did it take you to get your LPN because I'm going for CNA classes so I can work right away but i want to build up to go back to school for LPN

@taiboos_mommy16, it took me a year. if you are already a CNA, I encourage you to go for it!
