You passed out Are you alright now???debecca said:I'm leaving on Saturday at 29 weeks (though it's officially 30 cos of half term) yay
I originally planned to work til Easter but I'm on my feet teaching all day, and school have been distinctly unsympathetic with most things. I passed out at work yesterday so I know I've made the right decision.
Stuff the money, I'm knackered!!!
moss said:I forgot to mention that I took my job the day before I found out I was 8 weeks pregnant, so I don't get maternity leave. Also, I don't get holiday or sick pay because I get a higher wage in lieu... I didn't know this until I got my contract two days after I started. :/ So I really have to work until the last minute if possible.
Oh yeah and my contract is only until April. At the beginning I was told this was just an HR thing and that I could extend it and go full time in the summer (I am also a student), but when I tell my manager I am pregnant (tomorrow), I am sure I will be finding out I am not staying past April. I'm scared! We are going to have no money for the baby!
