I am so tired! I haven't been on here in weeks because I can't find the energy to plug in my laptop. So far sleepiness is my only symptom, no ms (fx'd it stays that way).
I have my first us scan on the 23rd of may, until then I'm only half convinced there is actually a baby in there!
Hello!
I just found you all. I was an extremely active bnb-er with my son. I was a diehard Septembryo...which I know there are a couple of my girls that should be in this group too .
Anyway, this is my third baby, fifth pregnancy. I have two angels, a 5yr old daughter, and 20 month old son. According to my dates I am due Dec 11, according to my dating scan I am measuring a week behind due Dec 18th. Guess we will see when I go back for my 12 wk the end of the month.
Look forward to getting to know you all!
Oh girlies.....My boss is trying to make me redundant! I've gone from having verbal assurances of a pay rise and a new position a couple of months ago, to telling her I'm pregnant on the 19th April to being declined for the new position and pay rise on 28th April to now being made redundant, she started the process last week on 6th May!
Isn't it funny that all this has come about following my disclosure of pregnancy! Of course its blamed on the economic crisis but there was no talk of any problems in the business up until the last couple of weeks!
I feel so let down, after being her only employee for 4 years and having a very good relationship! and putting in so much effort to help her business expand and grow she is now just leaving me in the lurch!!
My partner and I will really struggle now. If my work had continued I would have been eligible for TWO lots of SMP due to being paid from two of her different businesses, now to only one lot of Maternity Allowance, which means after really wanting to take a year off with the baby, I will now have to go back to work...I feel so depressed, finding hard to pick myself up!
Just thought it was important to pre-warn everyone, I've read alot on the internet about boss's using the economic downturn as an excuse to get rid of pregnant employees - blatently flouting the Sex Descrimination Act! but it seems there is little that can be done, Employment Tribunal....don't know if I can stomach it! and will this have an effect on my reference and future employment with other employers?
Sadness.....Han X
