Anyone else a teacher or have a job where you can't go to loo?

[Celtic Dragon]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else is a teacher on here... I teach secondary and am finding it hard to be as patient as normal! Am also aware that I can't really nip out to loo if I feel sick or am bursting. This hasn't affected me yet...

I hear you sister!!!! Im a teacher too, its a bl**dy nightmare!!

I have always had an overactive bladder and only being able to pee at certain times is terrible. Im actually off at the minute because I took a clot in my womb which started to come away. Not delighted about the clot but glad Im off. I couldnt cope with the sickness and be in school at mo. The ladies toilet is no where near my room!!!!

I'm a Primary Teacher. I am lucky and have a TA in the morning and I've told her so she's been brill. I don't have any MS (Yet?!) I've just been needing to wee a bit more.

I'm going to tell my head after Easter, as I am struggling in the afternoons to get through without a wee and have no adult support so something will need to be put in place, i.e. borrow the TA from next door if I need a wee!!

I'm not a teacher but I work as a vet nurse, I usually realise I need to pee half-way through monitoring an anaesthetic I obviously can't leave the animal and we do one op after another. I only get to pee a couple of times a day which is a nightmare at the moment!

not a teacher but a server. seeing all of the food and having to smile nonstop is not easy. not to mention when we are full i can't get a bathroom break. definitely a nightmare.

I'm a teacher. My ht knows I'm pregnant but I don't have classroom support. So basically I have to go to toilet only at break and lunch. It's awful having ms too. I actually sit there sweating cos I'm trying to stop myself being sick. I hope it passes soon. It's sooo difficult to cope. There's no way I could leave my class to be sick. I would have to be sick in front of my class or keep it in. Managed to keep it in and vomit every break and before school and sometimes at lunch.

for you ladies - sounds really tough. As far as MS is concerned, have you tried having a bottle of very cold water to sip on, and those bands you can put on your wrists? Might help a little? x

im a nursery school teacher and it can be tricky having to wait to go to the loo and worse as my sickness is so bad its hard because i have no choice but to run off at a moments notice luckily i have very good assistants who can step in for a minute. Not much fun though x

I'm a reception teacher and very lucky! I have fab TAs that know and know when I say I need a wee I have to go! lol. When MS kicks in I may find myself running to the children's toilets as they are much closer and have locks on the doors lol!

I'm a secondary teacher. I told my head as I couldn't last the hour without weeing or being sick!!!! She was fine about it so I would suggest you talk to your head. I was to send for on call but run if I needed to anyway - if you can't wait you can't wait!!! I would expect your school to put in measures to help you especially in 1st tri when weeing & being sick are hard to control! BTW I still have to wee constantly - the joys of being pregnant. I'm hoping it eases off soon, but you never know . . .
Oh, and once during morning registration, some girls in my form noticed that I was trying not to be sick & asked me about it, then told me to go home coz they didn't want to catch anything! I tried to tell them it wasn't catching but they didn't believe me!!!!

I'm an Infant teacher. My KS1 Leader and TA know, I have some Ritz crackers next to my desk should I start feeing wobbly (although this is mainly happening in the evenings at home) and touch wood I haven't had any mad dashes to the loo just yet, but make use of every opportunity. The toilets are ages away and the children's ones which are closer stink!
I am so ratty with my class though! Pretty sure it is the tiredness!

My boss doesn't know yet and I'm a scrub nurse in theatres. I can be stood scrubbed for 4 hours at a time under hot lights. Unable to wear seabands (nothing allowed below the elbows) no drinks or food. Only 1 15 minute break in a morning and then a 30 minute break for lunch. I'm just waiting for the time when I collapse on a surgeon.
