No need to read or reply rant

I am extreme pain today with SPD and feel so exhausted as j said in previous post! I wanna sleep but too much pain. I took sone co codamol and it hasn't touched it! I promised OH I'd cook a proper dinner (not that he expects it) but our diet has been poor last few days! U haven't had any lunch cos the thought of walking down stairs makes me cry

My boss is still ringing me more than once a day and leaving voicemails about coming back to work.

No one need reply just needed to moan and feel sorry for myself.

Is your boss allowed to keep ringing you when your on sick?? I didn't think they was allowed too, I could be wrong tho. I really wish the pain would ease for you hunni

 

[Lilelephant]

Thanks Hun I dunno but it is stressing me out

 

[suzzi]

i wouldnt of thought your boss could keep ringing you its not fair xxx sorry your feeling so crap xxx order a takeaway tonight babe relax and enjoy xxx

 

[Dee83]

Aww chick, sorry to hear you're having a bad day. With regards to your boss, maybe you could call them and tell them that when/if you are well enough to go into work you will call them and ask them not to call you as you are trying to rest. That's what i would do anyway. U dont need the added stress. xxxxxx

 

[Lilmoomin]

You need to look into it hun, it sounds like harassment to me! My work didn't put any pressure on me to return or give them an idea when i'd be returning! They just got shitty when I wanted to quit most of my job lol

 

[Lilelephant]

My OH just rang for me from work and told her to stop ringing me or we would be going to the union I feel like crap!

I want OH home cos I need a cuddle and the cat keeps running away.

I never ever thought I would feel like this having wanted to be pregnant for so long! I want it to be dec/jan and he is here and the pain is going. Do t get me wrong I am so happy to be having my little man but not enjoying the pregnancy experience at all.

Why can't I be one of these women who r still running around at 40 weeks no problem?

I can't even go Xmas shopping cos u can't walk around and doing it online just isn't the same

you can be like that hun... you just need either illegal drugs or the money to have a personal trainer/shopper/chef/housekeeper that will do everything else for you

tell me about it. Im so out of breath walking up and down one flight of stairs in our house.
Knew I wasnt the fittest person in the world but its ridiculous!
Cant wait for baby to drop to give my lungs a bit of space

 

[Lilelephant]

Lol I get out of breath turning over in bed lol

 

[Dollie]

Youre not alone, im currently in bed and signed off sick with SPD so can totally sympathise!
Your OH did right telling work to p*ss off, they cant treat pregnancy related sickness in the same way, and if you have a doctors note then they should leave you alone at least until thats due to expire. you can have up to week 36 off sick, after which they can make you start your maternity leave.
I have the opposite problem, im updating my boss regular by letter and email and getting no response even when im trying to let them know when i want to start my leave!

 

[Lilelephant]

Yeah our policy is if ur off sick ur maternity kicks in 4weeks before dd. My note takes me up to 5th dec start of mat leave! So she has no reason to ring!

Dollie nice to no I am not alone babe! Although I am sorry your bad too. U got crutches and support belt? What r u doing about delivery?

 

[Dollie]

She defo needs to leave you alone then! I cant see me getting back to work, i have a 45 minute drive each way, cant even make it ten mins down the road at the minute, lol. Ive been given exercises and a tubigrip bandage to wear from top of bump to thighs by the physio but it makes me feel like my hips are caving in and I just cant wear it. She just said all i can do is rest really, no crutches yet but i have a feeling i may need them as my bump gets bigger and heavier xx

 

[Dollie]

for delivery im hoping to do it knelt up rather than legs akimbo, lol. Let gravity help and not aggravate the SPD either x

 

[Lilelephant]

Yeah mw suggested on my aide and physio said knelt on all fours lol so dignified!

Xx

 

[Dollie]

Lol, dont fancy all fours and i would have thought youd still have to open your legs pretty wide on your side? All bein well id like to kneel up on the bed and use the back rest to put my arms on and lean against. I was thinking about this before SPD too, as you seem to be pushing up hill laid on your back x

 

[lewisca]

hope u r feeling better hun !!! u r so not alone and shouldnt feel guilty bout being fed up I was the same and was so relieved to get an induction early !! but if it helps it does get better !! Rhea is 6 days old and although SPD hasnt gone completely yet i have managed the school run without pain can move in bed without pain !!! just have a bit of aching !!! xxx

 

[Olive]

I would phone your work back and question why they are phoning you? It's reasonable for them to keep in touch but its harrassment if she is calling you daily and you've spoken to her!
