I'm Currently Feeling:  | So far I've been lucky and only had one afternoon off because I had a stinking cold and couldn't take anything.
Saying that though, by this time in my last pregnancy, I'd had loads of time off because of exhaustion.
I get bad SPD though, so my sick time is coming up soon.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hi girls
I havn't had any time off yet, my boss [whos wife suffered really badly with ms with all 3 of her kids] keep saying to me if you need to go or take time out then just do it [bless him] but i feel fine, will use his advice if I need to have a day of rest in the later stages though :-)

It actually makes me quite mad when people take the piss in regards to sick leave. We have a pregnant girl in my ward and she was literally on 'sick leave' during her whole pregnancy. She has diabetes and found it too tiring but really, every pregnant woman feels tired but you just need to get on with it unless you really are ill. |
