[Sugarmuppet]

please give it a try!

have been reading through all the posts on here and am in floods of tears!! Have almost forgotten how bad it was, if you can believe that it possible!! So many of the posts could have been written by me!! Wish i had discovered this great thread sooner, many a day when i could have done with some support!

That's weird it's cold drinks for me but hot ones for you!

My manager is meant to be phoning me tomorrowm for another update. I'm meant to be going back to see my GP the beginning of next week. He knows the last day of my line is Tuesday so you would think it made more sense for him to wait until then. I feel like he isn't helping this at all.

They must put something in your water or something!

Teal- you might find after a while your boss backs off, I used to get calls a few times a week, yet my boss hasn't even acknowledged my most recent sick note (I scan them and email them) xx

I keep hoping he will. He didn't when I was initially off for a 10 week period. I went back to work just after I was 16 weeks up until almost 3 weeks ago.
I'm not sure I'd be able to go back next week. I've to see my doctor again at the start of the week so I'll speak to her and see what she thinks.

I was going to start my maternity leave at the end of the year - I have annual leave so my mat leave wouldn't start until the middle of January and I'm due the end of February. If I'm unable to go back to work then they said would start my mat leave at 36 weeks but I'm not sure how they would use my annual leave.

I just feel awful today and I think worrying about work is just making it worse. It's bad enough being sick and feeling like this at home without the thought of trying to go into work

 

[NIfirsttimer]

you can choose to take your annual leave either immediatly before, or immediatly after your mat leave girls.... i was on sick from nov to may, then holidays until july

I was thinking of the same timeline. I don't know if my work will let me though, because they say you're not allowed to be ill when you're on hols xx

 

[NIfirsttimer]

yeah thats true.. you cant take hols while you re ill normally, but pregnancy is different, you will be 'ill' until a certain date, then holiday, then mat leave.. thats totally allowed xx

Everytime I try to communicate with my boss about it she ignores the questions xx

hi Nifirstimer,
No im not with the ulster Hosp, with Antrim they were a joke at the start didnt seem to take me seriously, infact the dr that came round the morning after i was first admitted asked me why i was even admitted in the first time, of course things changed when i was brought in 4 days later with a severe kidney infection as well as all the vomitting,
He now has finally took me seriously after been admitted four times in 5 weeks and losing a stone in weight, suprising that dont you think!!

 

[craftymum]

I also found I couldn't keep any cold drinks down but it took me until about 30 weeks to realise that very hot tea would stay down - didn't cure my insatiable thirst though

I'm so sorry all you girls are going through this, there really needs to be more help and more understanding as HG really is hell and it is so depressing as noone seems to understand it. I now it may not feel like it but there really is light at the end of it all when you meet your little baby for the first time it's such an amazing feeling, and makes it all worth while. Big hugs to everyone xxx

 

[NIfirsttimer]

oooh did u see in 3rd tri that rebaby is in labour?
shes been in delivery suite since 5am so should be some news soon!!!!
exciting!!

 

[craftymum]

oooh that is exciting!!!

 

[NIfirsttimer]

just realised.. it was this day lst year i started throwing up!! by the end of november i hd full blown HG and had already been in hosp. cant beleive that was a whole year ago now!!

 

[Kitty23]

Lol I can't wait to say its a year since I had HG NIfirsttimer lol!

I keep waiting for it to randomly stop now I'm in the 2nd tri, even though I know its not going to happen lol. I can dream lol!

Teal- sorry to hear your work are being shits! Mine haven't called me and I keep forgetting to post off my sick note oops lol, to be honest its the last thing on my bloody mind! xxx

 

[teal]

I think it was around the 20 week mark I gave up waiting for it to stop. Earlier on I would think ok 12 weeks and then a doctor suggested it might ease off around 16 weeks. It hasn't.

I'm trying to keep looking forward to February. I'll have my baby boy and the sickness will have gone.

NIfirsttimer that must have been a long year for you! xx

Same here, I'm not expecting mine to stop until I give birth now.

Looking forward to rebabys birth story

Teal- For some reason I hadn't noticed you were having a boy too! Do people keep telling you that you should be having a girl because they make you more sick? Or is it just me that gets that xx

 

[teal]

I get told that too Katy! People have asked if I'm sure baby is a boy because I'm still being really sick!

We're only due a week apart and both having boys! xx

Shame you're all the way up in Scotland

People say that to me so often it makes me worry that they got it wrong and maybe it is a girl xx
