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!

@jessybox1997, yes. I swelled really bad over the weekend. low blood pressure, high heart rate. Dr says I need to be off of my feet, just no where near ready to be off that long
okay I take my classes for CNA in July but I wanted to get some experience in the field first
@taiboos_mommy16, it took me a year. if you are already a CNA, I encourage you to go for it!
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
@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
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.
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!
@boxbaby0716, omg be careful hon! I'm guessing it's not too large yet for them not to have restricted lifting or anything?
