Hi All,

Not been on here for a while, been sooooo busy with meeting up with friends and their babies, plus OH has changed jobs which has been quite stressful.

Anyhow, always pop on here for answers to my worrying mind, lol.

2 things.

1 :- I have severe aching in my arms, legs, wrist, shins and pelvis - at 15 weeks post birth could this still be the relaxin in my body - anyone else still experiencing this? I read that while ever your linea nigra is still visable there is relaxin in your body. Mine is still there, even though lighter than before.

2:- I have decided that whilst I do want to return to my previous company - I do not want to return to my old role as an employment advisor. The job is very stressful and I dont think I would be able to deliver the standards and targets my company expect if I went back. PErsonally I would hate to go back as an advisor as I hated it before but stuck with it for thr maternity.
Is it acceptable to request an administration role if I am prepared to take a pay cut (if there is one available within my travel to work area?)
. I am in the union and will approach them closer to the time.

Thanks in advance for any advice guys n gals xxx
Big hugs and hope all ur LOs are doing well xxx

Sorry hun, no help on the aches and pains front although could b normal I guess? I still have my linea nigra but didn't know about the relaxin but it could explain a few of my niggles!
On the job front I don't think what u t suggesting is unreasonable and I think ur employer has to consider flexible working arrangements for u. If u can present the idea to them in a way that shows how they would benefit from the change all the better! Def speak to union and get some advice tho! Good luck xx

Great to hear from you! . I still have the aches and pains - they seem to get worse rather than better... 15 weeks on and my wrists are extremely painful and I have lots of pelvic pain too. God I sound like such an old woman! Lol
I didn't know about the linea negra being a sign of relaxin still being in your body. I still have mine, so maybe that is why. Hope you start to feel better soon. Xx
