Taken off work... Mixed feelings

in October 2013 Moms
My doctor pulled the plug on working today... He doesn't want me gone from my house for 13 hours at a time without the being able to rest and such. My blood pressure isn't going up and he doesn't like that I lose my sight/ hearing periodically. So that's it... I am feeling guilty right now about being home now.. I know I can take better care of myself from home I just feel wierd about not going to work on Monday. Anyone else in similar shoes?

    I am on bed rest for bleeding caused by a complete previa. I know what you mean though. The bleeding was scary, but sitting at home now I feel fine. I know it's for the best, but it doesn't make it any easier.

    Are you on bed rest, or just not able to work? Good luck to you either way!

    Just remember that this is for the health of your baby AND you!! I was put on modified rest with both previous pregnancies for different reasons and it was HARD but Soo worth it in the end. Your time will fly by!!

    I was taken off work during my last pregnancy. I felt terribly guilty, but I knew that for the baby's health and my own it had to be done.

    I asked my employers if working from home was an option, but it wasn't something they allowed. Is your job something you could do at home?
    I used to be a big deal.  Now I'm just old.

    Do you work on site? That's so rough - I couldn't even imagine. The heat's probably killing you too. Try not to feel too bad about staying home at this point; it's definitely for the best!

    I'm done with my job on July 10th but it is not doctor ordered! I just have decided since I am hi-risk and I can tell the pregnancy is making working on my feet that much harder that it is time, to stay at home. You are doing what is best for you and your baby! and remember your doctor at least was the one that said to stay home, in my case I'm the only one I can blame for any boredom I incur!

    I do work on site.. I know it's for the best but I feel bad about not going to work on Monday. I worked at site when I was pg with dd till I was 38 weeks but it was a completely different pregnancy last time. I am certainly not short on things to do at home just feeling bad I guess... Probably sounds stupid but I do atm

    I was pulled from work last week due to PTL. At first I was a mess and felt insanely guilty but after a few days at home and seeing how much it has calmed my symptoms and my worry I know every second is worth it. Take advantage of the time and know that everything at work will be there when you return.

    If your doctor allows see if you can work a modified schedule at home. I'm allowed to do minimal support and knowing that I can has eased my guilt a bit.

    I have worked maybe 4 weeks in this entire pregnancy. :( It was really difficult at first - especially since I am family's main breadwinner - but now I've come to peace with it. I think seeing in writing for the first time "life of mother and child are in danger" helped me some.

    How does this impact your income? Will you be okay?
