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?

@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, never tried coffee... but I’m willing to try anything to feel better than I do!
@worlds.okayest.mom, yes! I’ve been trying milk of magnesia. She prescribed me to something different today. Hopefully that works
Have you tried fiber supplements and stool softeners
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
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.
