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!
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Heyy mama's I need prayers my doctor called me himself and told me to get to the hospital with my problems and my blood work. I could have a seizure or stroke so I'm otw to the hospital.
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Okay ladies I need help . I'm trying to keep my skin clear . I wash my face and use face moisturizer but I'm still getting pimples .
