Has anyone been signed off work by doctor for stress while pregnant x
Hey I was for a few weeks whilst pregnant. It wasn't a pregnancy related issue though x
No, but I have been ‘demoted'/stopped my further advancement to avoid getting over stressed and other risks. At the time I thought I was being overly careful, but looking back am glad I did.
Hope you're ok? X
Hi missklt, I was signed off with stress, anxiety & low mood for 5 weeks with my last pregnancy around 28 weeks. It was hell! The GP even talked about antidepressants but a bit off time out from work and extra support from DH and close friends was enough to make me feel a bit better. I'm normally pretty placid and calm but everything stressed me out, from DH parking in the wrong place to thinking I was having a heart attack in the middle of the night! The hardest part was admitting I wasnt coping! Funnly enough I wasnt stressed about baby/birth! Im now nearly 28 weeks with baby no.2 and have feels of the stress and anxiety returning, my moods not been great either (some days I find myself crying for no reason or because I feel im not coping with my 15month old). I went to yoga and aquanatal classes last time round which I think also helped. Hope you feel better with a bit of time out. X x
Iv been signed off for 3 weeks because of the stress im under at work. X
How far along are you now? Enjoy the 3 weeks stress free and relax. Good for you and for baby x
Im 26 weeks I would love to but im already getting hassled by work x
Yh my work tried to hassle me and I threatened to cause them trouble for doing so and told them I need to protect my baby from the situation and if anything, God forbid, happened to me or the baby's health I would make it hell for them. There is nothing they can do about you being signed off and I'd say to them if they keep calling that it constitutes harassment. Scare them hun. They need to be told x
Ohh thanks hun. I only handed my note in thursday and friday morning I got a strongly worded letter in the post that reduced me to tears xx
That's ridiculous. They have no right to moan at you for it. Be strong and upfront towards them if they contact you further in a negative way. Tell them that you will be back on the date stated on the certificate and that's all they need xx
A strongly worded letter? That's a bullying tactic! Remember, they cannot fire you or bully you into leaving because you're under stress or pregnant (Actually, I think it can be classed as a hate crime, not 100% sure though).
Keep the letter (or a copy of it) as well as any notes about incidents or comments, in case you need to challenge their behaviour. Do you work for a small company, or one with lots of branches (I hope that makes sense?)
I work for a small company. Iv spoken to my other half about it and he is furious with them. I was thinking about goin to citizens advice. Do u think I should xx
If it's caused you more stress and upset you, then absolutely. Make a record of anything else (i.e has anybody said anything to you, etc) and take that along with the letter. Impartial advice won't do you any harm, you can decide whether to act on the advice when you're back at work. It's good that you've spoken to your OH and he's supporting you, too 
Good luck, and try not to let it get to you whilst you're off work X
I am a bit intrigue about strong worded letter. Now I only wish I was in your position now, when I was pregnant I had my employer sent me an email and it was very later in the night I did read my mails, instant I became so stressed out, I could not wait for the next day to reply, I was fuming, I sent an extremely strong email back to them. I was classified as high risk hence I had was to go off from three months on bed rest, it didn't sit pretty well with them. They are not suppose to bully you or put you under any stress, they know that but they are only trying to see who is going fall under their spell. I did have a miscarriage and back to work now. A few weeks ago I was ask if I was thinking of trying again, my respond was of course indeed I am, hence don't be surprise when it happen. I am not afraid of anyone whatsoever, I will take then to court and to the cleaners also. Having a family is far more important than any job, so you better stand your grounds.
Has anyone fallen pregnant naturally at 40? I’m struggling :-(. 
Has anyone used Detinox for Colic?
Has anyone got any tips that will help us get pregnant? 
can anyone recommend any maternity wear for work?
Anyone else having problems with their other halves taking time off work?
