Well, the fight with my job is over and they won. As of last week h/r had dropped everything but this Sat my boss told me that I had to report to a meeting on Today, so when I arrived my boss was there along with h/r and the company supervisor. Anyhow, I was forced to sign the excessive absence paper or I was going to be terminated ( even though I had drs excuses and also they counted the approved time 2 days I had in June against me) they said that It is all considered excessive absences to the company whether it was approved or not. Also, I was slammed with a insubordination paper, which will remain on my file forever. If I get 1 more insubordination I will be fired immediately. I received that for refusal to initially sign the paper. Anyhow, they got me and thats it. I felt like I was attacked and they had an excuse for everything that I said. I was so strong before but I broke down and started to cry and told them how I was good to the company for 8 years with a clean h/r file and I was being treated unfairly. Anyway, today I fell low and taken advantage of. They allso made me submit my maternity leave letter , which I plan on leaving the last week of Sept now if I last that long now. The whole thing sickens me; I just can't wait till my new baby comes and I will forget about that job forever. I guess I will stay till next month until I am either harrassed by my boss until I resign or they find a reason to terminate me. I know you all are probably sick of this story as I am also, but I wanted to thank everyone who has supported me and given me advice. I am just really upset. I feel even worse that I broke down today and the supervisor said that If I was not pregnant I would have already been fired because of my attitute and disrespect to my boss, but that she is cutting me slack because I am emotional. Anyway, maybe one of you can learn something from my rotten experience. I just don't know anymore! They even suuggested I take a leave earlier. Oh well, I guess there is nothing more to say.

Heres the work update: Alot of you are asking and it is so I thought I'd give a big update on it. Anyway, I reported to work on Sat and my boss was already there and the lady from human resources came shortly after. I was then called into the office for a meeting and I of course had a copy of the work handbook with me.haha. So, I once again stated my case and why I was refusing to sign the dicipline and h/r broke down the days that my boss was trying to count against me. The 2 Saturdays in June were thrown out by h/r becuase they were preapproved days off and not call offs( my boss tried to say that they were not pre approved) but I told her she better tell the truth because there is documentation to prove that they were( I filled out a personal leave paper 2 weeks in advance), so she admitted to h/r that they were indeed pre approved. That left 3 days in July 2, which were pregnancy related and 1, which was due to babysitter having an emergency. 1 ofm the drs excuse days was also thrown out but I am being held responsible for the (babysitter day). Anyway, h/r told my boss to hold off on the dicipline until I submit the zoo trip excuse, which I did yesterday, so we'll see what happens. I did point out that policy states that FMLA excuses cannot be held against an employee along with the fact that a dicipline cannot be issued unless the excessive absences are 2 consecutive months in a row, which does not apply to me since the June days were thrown out. H/R is supposed to be mailing me FMLA paperwork to fill out if I have any future pregnancy related call offs, which would count against my 12 weeks. Honestly I think they were both floored that I had a copy of the handbook and brought it with me to state my case. I guess I'll see what happens next. I think that evil boss of mine will try to find another way to get me out. I told them that I planned to stay until Oct 1st and my boss made a comment saying If you last that long, which I replied what do you mean by that? She said well... you don't know what can happen with your pergnancy and all. Whatever! That woman is NASTY! I ahve had problems with her ever since she became manager back in Oct. I can't wait to leave that place and never go back! I will soon have my new little boy. I am not going to let that crappy job bring me down. It is what it is. Thank you all for your concerns and I will give another update when I find out whats next. I hope I didn't ramble again.lol.

thanks! i think i am feeling better about it, i mean right now anyway. i have been searching, looking, and just trying to find something. i hqave found a few sites that have threads about this situation and i think its more common than i initially thought. I dont wanna think about it, but i do! i am just drained and am hopefull and know God has his plan and i just pray his plan is something I would like too

im just scared that i will be the one that falls into that small percentile, and more now so because its happened before. I feel her moving all the time and wonder if she will be ok and either way i cant do anything about it! plus i have to wait 4 weeks for another ultrasound to tell me if she is ok or worse off?! I beleive everything happens for a reason and thought i would not have to go through another time like this. i feel so lost and sad and then i tell myself what will be will be, but i cant help but be very sad. Thank you for replying, thank you for letting me vent, just thank you!

Hi, I wanted to give everyone an update on my work situation. I reported to work today at 8am my scheduled time and at 3pm 1 hr before my shift ends my boss came and called me into her office to sign the warning paperwork pertaining to the 3 days I called off in July 2 of which I had a medical excuse for. I told her that I refuse to sign the paperwork because I have medical documentation and 1 non medical excused call off is not considered excessive for 1 month. She told me I had to sign it anyway even if I did not agree and that I could write a comment on the paper and I said no, not without my legal councel rewiewing this document. I picked the paper off the table to look at It and she tried to snatch it from me stating that I was not allowed to have a copy unless I signed it. I still refused. She told me that I will be insubordinate but I still held my ground. I walked out of the office and resumed my duties until 4pm. I ultimately decided not to give in to this because I discussed this with my dad and sterpmother and they advised me that I do have rights even as a part time employee and that what they are trying to do is NOT legal. I also got alot of responses from all of you. So, I guess we'll find out what happens with me this week. Yes, I do need the money but I am not going to let anyone take my rights away, so thats why I decided to stand my ground. Oh yeah, they cancelled the zoo trip and she didn't even tell me to come to work and when I brought that up she got defensive and said she had already found coverage. Anyway, I hope everyones pregnancy is going well and I want to thank everyone who responded to my post needing advice.

Ladies, I have a big problem please check out the comment I wrote in the 21 weeks section today and give me your advice. I don't know what to do.

I just wanted to give everyone an update: I talked with alot of you abot my terrible appt with my midwife ( she was real nasty to me) last Tues and that the u/s report stated that they weren't able to get a good look at my babys entire head, so of course I worried that something was wrong with my babys head. I had my u/s this morning and everything is good (his head is completely normal) I was worrying myself for no reason. Also, my midwife wasn't so nasty to me today; I mentioned to her about the sharp pains in my cervix and she told me not to worry unless I was having strong contraction like pains. She offered to check me but said that checking sometimes causes more problems and irritates the cervix, so I did not get checked. I only worry about preterm labor because I was dilated 1 1/2 cm and contracting at 22 weeks with my first son; I was given medication and Iv fliuds and the labor did not progress. Anyhow, now that my u/s has proven my baby to be healthy I can finally quit stressing. I was just told to take it easy and not overdue myself as far as walking and activities are concerned. Thank you for listening to my complaints.lol. I was just stressing about the head issue way too much.

I'm doing great. I'm sorry that I haven't returned your message for so long. I've been SOOO busy. By the time I get on here to write people Chase wakes up and I have to go again. My labor wasn't bad at all. I had a slow leak in my fluids on Tuesday, so I called my doc Wednesday morning. They wanted to see me right away. They said I was having back labor all day Tuesday and was dilated to 5cam...which was AWESOME to hear after being stuck at 3cm for 6 weeks. They said it was amniotic fluid and they sent me over to the hospital to be induced to get him out faster (to reduce the risk of infection because I had a slow leak). They started the pitocin at 11:30am and I had my son at 7:59pm. I ended up getting an epidural because the pitocin made it unbearable after 6 hours. I'm posting pics today so everyone can see my handsome little man! :)

you still going to wait until birth to find out the sex of the baby?

erica78 - Monday, 7 July
Hey cutie pie! We will so be cardboard box neighbors... lol... that would be sweet. LOL

So, it turns out I'm having a girl! Wooh! Hooh! This is going to be so awesome.... I could not be happier. I've always wanted a little girl and she will be here before I know it.

Ahhhh... life is good!

How are you little momma? How's baby?

Thanks AliwithB3 umm... What is B3?

The husband does receive student loan $$ for school. He has to submit for the new semester by the end of this month... so I guess we'll find out shortly how much he will get.

We've talked a little about the work situation after the baby gets here. I mean, I've expressed that I'm not thrilled out putting my 3 month old child into the care of strangers and that it would be nice if I could go to part time hours at the most. He thinks it would be cool if I could work from home, and I agree.... but there's not much that you can just start out doing and still make decent money. With some jobs, you might eventually have a work at home option, but mine will never be one of those.

On an up note, the baby has been kicking me this week and I'm loving every minute of it. I never thought I'd be so happy to be kicked... lol. Sometimes I just look down at my belly and say,"Dance baby.... Dance!" hoping that will encourage some movement, but that has yet to work the way I want it to. hehehehe!

When you find that money tree that enables you to travel about Canada.... don't forget about the coolest chick you know on this website. (***Nudge, Nudge..... Wink, Wink***) LOL

So, how's life treating you? What's new in your world?
