Really need to vent! I’ve been extremely constipated and just so uncomfortable. I been going to see my doctor weekly now I’m having a c-section on 2/26. Back and everything been hurting. I know I only got two weeks left. I asked my doctor can I go on maternity leave. She said I couldn’t because I didn’t have a real medical reason! I’m just sooooo irritated. I forgot to mention she checked the baby heart beat and I asked was she still going to check my cervix. She said only if u want me to... what kind of question/answer is that? ANY ADVICE?

Sorry to hear that. I've never heard of that. I'm due in March. All I had to do was call Sedgwick (a company that takes care of our leave) and let them know I needed my maternity paperwork to give my dr. They emailed it to me & asked me for my due date & my last day of work. I filled the paperwork out, took it to my dr, she filled her portion out, & I faxed it back. I'm choosing to work until a week before my due date, but it was totally my choice, not my drs. Good luck with everything.

@kira18, When I called today... it has to be a note from the doctor stating why I am taking a leave before my due date. Basically the lady said I would need my doctor approval, I just couldn’t call and say hey today is my last day at work!

Your doctor can't stop you from going on maternity leave, that's up to you & your job. You fill the paperwork out with your job and he just has to verify that you're pregnant.

I cut out coffee until I got constipated. Even decaf does the job for me 😂

Yeah never really a reason to check cervix. Especially if you've already planned a csection. The maternity leave thing is bull...wtf other reason would someone go on MATERNITY leave for besides pregnancy? Mine kept telling me to go and I waited lol.

@worlds.okayest.mom, yes! I’ve been trying milk of magnesia. She prescribed me to something different today. Hopefully that works
