Spunky - I don't knooow. I wasn't going to say anything because it's gross and I didn't want to freak anyone out. I was constipated once for a while. Almost went to the doctor while. When it finally out, let's just say it was unpleasant on many levels and now if I don't poop regularly I get a recurring hemorrhoid hahaha. SORRY!
Also, I don't know if she is in the same boat as me. I'm on a temporary contract (yearly). The earliest I could move to probationary would have been next year; my principal could have petitioned to have my status changed from temp to probationary in December and I could finish the year with tenure IF she really likes me. On the flip side, they can't fire you over a pregnancy. But if HR doesn't like it and doesn't approve her request or even just to rehire me, they don't have to offer me another contract. Technically, she doesn't have to offer me a contract for next year but I'm pretty sure she will based off of her feedback.
Oh I've had some pretty bad times myself! After my csection with DD, I refused the suppository (I have bowel shyness lol). Biggest mistake ever. It was 6 days later. I almost had to go to the hospital
Not making that mistake again! As long as everything progresses, I'm asking my midwife what I can take to help!
That's scary about the job! I didn't know they could do that. How long does it take to be eligible for tenure? I know a couple of teachers, but I don't know all of the ins and outs of it.
Where I worked, I just had to be there a year to be eligible for FMLA (I was already there several years though). When I transferred offices, there was a girl who was there that was pregnant and a temp. She was there, I think for several months. Another girl started at the same time as her. The other girl was given a permanent position, and the one pregnant wasn't. So when she had her baby, she wasn't able to come back. Obviously nobody knows for sure the details, but everyone thought it was strange.
