Do you think I could be put on bedrest tomorrow if...

I'm a 5th grade teacher... one of my students told another teacher that he doesn't even know why I'm still teaching.  When she asked him why, he said that since I'm pregnant, I'm very hormonal and I should have a substitute.

 Oh wouldn't it be nice if that were enough!

LOL.....yeah I used to joke about wanting the doctor to put me on bed rest cuz I was soooo tired.  Then at 29 weeks, he DID put me on bed rest.

As appealing as it sounds right now to you, it sucks!!!!  Trust me!!!

But I understand the tired feeling crappy part of it!  Good luck!

Kids are crazy. If I was that other teacher I would have had a hard time not laughing at him. Oh and believe me, you don't want to be put on bedrest. I'm going on 7 weeks and it sucks. It sounds good in theory until you're on it.

I feel your pain...I am 30 weeks pregnant,and teach 2nd grade, and Spring Break could not have come soon enough! I already have cabin fever and I've only been home a couple of days! I get tired and hormonal all the time, and I do feel like I let alot of it out on my kids, but then I see them smile, and listen to what they ask me about the baby--How long is he? How much does he weigh? Are we going to see him? etc, and my heart melts! They understand that I can't walk around as quickly or as much, and they are very concious of making sure I sit in the shade when we go outside. You're pretty close, and you know your body. If you feel it is best for you, then ask your doctor. I promise you, though, those kids are going to miss you!!!
