Holy Guilt Trip Batman...

leahbrazil

So... by me going out at 36 weeks I'm basically screwing up people's schedules. But hey, what can I do, the Dr would have written me out today if I would have let her. And now I feel guilty because people will be having to pick up OT to cover my shifts.

Lerma, slap some sense into me!! Tell me it's not my problem and I gave them 7 months notice that I would be having a baby!!

Tell 'em to F-off!  Do your thang!

Tell them to give you bathroom breaks then or better yet tell them to have something pushing against your bladder and then drink 64+ oz of water a day and hold it for a full shift.?

This is not your problem!  Your OB wants you to be done!  I know how you feel, bc I am the same type of way, but you need to listen to your OB!  Try not to feel guilty... what did your boss say?

Dont feel guilty!, even tho easier said then done...

I pretty much quit at about 4-5 months in...

It was too much working with infant/toddlers at a preschool.. when i normaly teach pre-k anyways.... i was thrown aroudn where needed.... had alot of things to do that i couldnt... and with the owners it was highstress...

my dr. told me to follow what my body was telling me and i felt so guilty quiting... but once your out, your out, quiting or just maternity leave and there is relief on the other end.....

n sumtimes its for the best... i ended up with a kidney infection that was horendous and was hospitalized twice, woudlve been out of work for about 3 weeks anyways... better to have left when i did...

 

so dont feel guilt, be happy and excited, your times almost here to have your baby! )

I plan on telling him tomorrow. Walked into a cluster fvck today and didn't get a chance to. And I had a 7 hour stretch today with only one pee break in there.  Which makes it more obvious that I CAN"T work much longer.

You are so lucky you haven't ended up with an infection from not peeing.  I would not be able to do that.  I probably would have started wearing adult diapers if I had to do that!

I've had my close calls where my empty water bottle looks like a really tempting urinal. Thankfully I've made it in the nick of time on those occasions. Lerma suggested the diapers earlier... IDK if I can fit any more "cushion" into my pants!

Seriously! Is it even legal not to be able to take pee breaks?
