Update to: Dr's stress leave

in December 2011 Moms

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know how my Dr's appointment went yesterday. Last week I posted that she wanted me to take meds (Ativan) before approving a stress leave for me. This, after I told her medication was not an option for me and I wasn't comfortable taking it.

After taking many of your advice, I had my follow up appointment with her yesterday and I told her that I didn't take the meds because I'm not comfortable with it while I'm pregnant. We discussed what's been going on at work and nothing has changed in a week (I didn't expect it to). So she approved Stress leave for me! She told me I looked awful (thanks a lot) and she thinks it would be really beneficial for me! 

I was so happy when I left, I cried. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders!

    I believe it's until delivery, then my mat leave starts after that (which in Canada is a year)

    I'm so glad you don't have to worry about this anymore. I'm also glad you were able to speak honestly and frankly with your doc. You have to be your own advocate! :)

    I was hoping for an update.  I'm glad you stuck with your gut feeling and spoke with your doctor again.  Hopefully you can relax now and focus on growing that beautiful baby Smile
