I had to leave work four and half hours into my shift tonight. I was supposed to have 11 shifts left after tonight. I couldn't even make it through this shift. I don't know if baby girl's head has moved down more into my pelvis or what, but I got up from charting to go to a patient's room and I could not walk it hurt so bad. I could not put any pressure on my left leg the pain was so bad and felt like my leg would give out if I tried to walk on it. Baby girl has her back to my left side so the back of her skull... the occipital bone... is putting pressure on the left side of my pelvis. If I am sitting in crappy chairs that are low then it constantly puts more pressure on that area with her skull. When I try to get up and move from sitting at work I usually am in pain, but can still move. Not tonight. I couldn't barely move and it didn't matter what I did. I was in so much pain. I guess I am going to see my OB(of family doc...who ever will see me first) tomorrow and get a sick leave or short term disability note and be written off work. I am not exactly sure how it works, but I really don't want to start mat leave until the end of July if I don't have to. There is no way I can work like this. Now if baby girl would just switch her position over night... then I'd be fine, but she has been in this position, head down with her back to my left since 30 weeks... maybe even 28 weeks. I don't think she is moving any time soon. I just hope she gets into a better position before labour starts.

I'm sorry you're out of work. We all try to think we're super woman and the fact is because we're so super, our bodies have to tell us "ok that's enough, you need to rest now." It really stinks, I know. But you lasted a long time! We both did really well working and handling home life until the last month. I think that's pretty good :) I hope that your pain goes away. It sounds really painful.

It must be really difficult for you right now but you are right, you and baby need to come first. It will all be over before you know it, but in the mean time I will cross my fingers that your little one moves into a more comfortable position. Keep us ladies posted because you will certainly be in my thoughts:)

oh but we are super mom u know that girl no matter where were at, at work or at home it don't matter its just our title! dont worry u need the rest anyways and heck u spend your time taking care of others now just chill and put ur self first and baby and kick back enjoy the rest of the summer and wait for her to come. Life is to short to stress much (easier said then done i know) But I got put on bedrest in May and it did suck money wise cuz i make the most money in the fam so were making it off my hubbys checks he gets paid every friday so its not a lot but its not to bad either i do stress over bills but then again what can i do i got doc notes up the wazoo that say no work for me til she comes. So all we can do is chill and try not to stress right?? I feel like my hips are going to fall off ha ha I was counting today and i was only not pregnant for 6 months then i got pregnant again uggg! I cant believe my little man is only 15 months old and in another mo he will be a big brother! My oldest Noah is 6 he told me he loves his family all the way to heaven and back down brought tears to me I swear. I took the kids to Chucky Cheese wow being 8 mo preg and chacing a 1 yr old wow not good for the body i tell ya! Bedrest isnt really an option when i have 2 kids to care for but at least im home and i chill when my body tells me too. That Procardia is for the birds tho man gives me headaches and makes me feel dizzy a lot. Next doc apt is next week she said the head is down and she is almost 4 lbs so if she does come early then at least maybe she will be 6 lbs at least. Both of my boys were the same 6 lbs 7 oz i was 6 even weird. Well hun take care and chill chill chill haha hit me back if u have time since were both stuck at home :(

I left work as of last week. I am working from home now and overall feeling better. (I had a really LONG commute to work) Hope the pain subsides some so you can get some relief...I wish I had an entire year to spend with my little guy once he arrives. I am just happy I am getting 8 weeks.

That sucks. :( My sister had to leave work early - like 24 weeks or something like that... and she went on medical leave that doesn't affect maternity leave. Don't know if you can still do that so close to EDD, but hopefully you can.
BabyNateZMama - Tuesday, 7 Jul
Oh man sorry to hear you so upset thats how it is sometimes can't plan everything but w.e is best for you is best for baby. Hope it all works out in your benefit and that the pain subsides..TAKE CARE!!!
RainbowRach - Tuesday, 7 Jul
((hugs)) sorry to hear this. I am sure you will get signed off. Not sure how it works for you but if I am signed off any time within 11 weeks before my due date I am put on maternity automatically :( hope its different for you.
Hope you feel better soon x x

Sorry to hear bubs has other ideas for you and work. Hope you are feeling better soon and adjust to the idea and are able to enjoy your extra time.

I don't think she is moving any time soon. I just hope she gets into a better position before labour starts.
Anyhow, I was very emotional that tonight may be my last night. I cried. I cried the whole way home. I even called my mom cuz I needed to cry to my mommy about the pain. I hate it when things do not go as planned, but I need to take care of myself and baby right now and know that it is important that I remain as least stressed as possible right now. So here I sit at home trying to accept that I am not super woman and am probably done work for a year. *sigh*
I hope every one else is doing well!
