hiya, where i work they want me to attend a confrence where i will have to stay over night in a hotel sharing room with other girls who are going from over england for training ect this will be a 3 hour train journey too and il be 7 and half months pregnant i really dont want to go cos its going to be so much stress and lugging my luggage around on a train journey to london and meeting all the big managers and having to be 100% on form with the business sounds really stressfull couple of days, i dont know what to do, would anyone else go or should i just tell them ??? im getting so stressed about it allready xxxx

I wouldn't go, especially since it is already causing you so much stress. If they say anything just tell them that your doctor advised you not to do much traveling.

yh i just feel like i cant deal with it but my area manager said it would be really good if i could go cos ive not been to there training b4 and its only once a year, i just think there not very understanding xxx

Don't go. I used to do a 1-2 hour journey to my boyfriends on a bus, 2 trains then a car/taxi and that was bad enough. I did that up to 8 months pregnant.. it was too much. They'd be silly to expect that of you!

Just tell them your doctor prefer you not travel at the time because they want you close by in case anything happens. Maybe go next year? You don't deserve to be stressed out hun.

Are you having the 39 weeks of maternity? Any training you receive will be forgotton by the time you go back from maternity leave, so suggest they send you on next years! plus it may change by the time you get back to work.

I wouldn't go, i was supposed to be doing a course but i have said no now that i am pregnant, dont think they saw me going in there interest anyway when i will be off for 9 months

yh im having the 9 months off leaving about 6 weeks b4 and this training is about 2 weeks b4 i go on mat leave ,never thought of it in that way its going to be about what new beauty products ect will be coming out this year and some training in selling no doubt so really if im off for 9 months i wont even be there when ther new range comes in it is a bit pointless but my manager wont see it like that im gonna have to tell her

the other thing that really p*ssed me off was that i have to pay for my own train ticket and she said id get a check back after , i dont even have the spare money at the end of this month to save

You could always pull a sicky hehe

was thinking that but shel expect me to get train ticket ect and start arranging everything so i think it will be easier if i just tell her from the start, my midwife appontiment is monday and i have to phone my area manager every monday so il tell her then
