Pregnant after a Loss

XP: Today is a bad day

I woke up today, like every day, and went to work. I don't love my job, but I simply can't live without the clients I work with. They're mentally retarded/developmentally disabled adults. I have worked with this group over a year. I adore them all.

I got laid off today. Medicaid is making cuts, so she can't keep me on. So suddenly I'm pregnant and jobless. WTF! 

I've applied now for unemployment, and will look more into new places to work. Once I calm down. Pregnancy hormones do NOT make this any easier.

  • Gosh I'm sorry!  That must be sad and terrifying all at the same time.

    I feel fo rthe struggling economy down in the states (I'm in Canada).  We live quite close to the North Dakota border and we are down there all the time shopping.  I know us (and most of Western Canada) and North Dakota are booming right now with oil (That's the industry I work in-Environmental Consultant) but that there are large parts of the US that are still struggling.

    Hope things turn around quickly for you!

     PS: Did you try your doppler last night?  I'm debating on getting one as my Dr said he won't try the doppler until after 20 weeks (Wht?!?!  that freaks me out!!!)

     I did try it, but haven't been able to find baby yet. I found the maternal artery and have read that baby usually is close to there. So I think I've got the right spot, it's just too early. Hopefully by next week I'll be able to find it.

    ((((OCN)))) I'm so sorry! I hate this economy!! I was jobless when I got pregnant and it is very stressful. I'm glad that you have already applied for unemployment - are you on YH's insurance?

    Good luck with everything, T&P!

    Yes, luckily, DH's job covers our insurance. What sucks is that I bring home most of our money. So we're going to be hurting.

  • I'm so sorry. I'm glad your insurance is still covered, though. It sucks that you won't get to work with your clients anymore, though :(

    I am so sorry! It really sucks to get laid off. I hope you find work to make you happy soon.Your comment about not being able to live without your clients makes me smile. I love that there are caring dedicated people out there who don't look at the mentally disabled and cringe.nbsp;Total aside, there is a theater up here that plays second run movies. Seating is set up with tables, and they bring your meals to you during the movie. It's a brew pub, but they are very kidfriendly when children's movies are playing, and no one ever complains about noisy kids during those movies. I was there with DH for our date night last week. There was a couple who brought their older son, who apparently was autistic and certainly had sensory processing issues. He was incredibly vocal throughout the movie, and it was so cool that not one person gave him the stink eye. The movie was in 3D WreckIt Ralph, so it was a big night for the young man.


    That totally got me, that is so great. Now I am all teary eyed haha.

    Sorry you lost your job, I hope you have luck finding something soon.
