Ladies, I need to get this out

It is a ridiculous petty vent....

I am having such a rough time...as I've posted before. Today I just really don't want to go to work. I am exhausted, dizzy and feel weak. I know I need to rest to protect my little babe.

I called work to tell them I wasn't coming in tonight. Luckily the person I talked to knows I am pregnant and knows I am having a rough first tri.  He said that my CW had already called out so I felt bad and said I'd come in.

My petty vent? This CW has called out three weeks in a row (he called out on Saturday too and I had to stay late to cover) and it's driving everyone crazy. There have been other days where I have really wanted to all in sick but haven't because I don't want to be associated with him for constantly calling in sick.  I know he isn't sick, he always uses his newborn son as an excuse- no childcare.

I am just mad that I can't stay home today and I really have no basis to be upset...but here I am sitting on my couch crying.

Today I feel like having a pity party. Crying

Re: Ladies, I need to get this out

  • :::with snarky tone of voice::: O.M.G. Why can't you just be happy you're pg. There are so many women who would deal with all that m/s just so they could have a baby. Ugh.

     

    But really....I am so sorry you're having such a rough first tri. I am sorry you have to go in to work tonight and I think you are well entitled to having a pity party for yourself. It's emotional enough without the m/s. :(

    Have you called your doc yet?

  • No. Embarrassed

    I had a really really good two days (well, until midnight last night) so I thought maybe it was going to start getting better.  I need to call them though I guess. It seems like every time I have a bad day and decide to call, the next day isn't so bad.

  • That's frustrating. It's like your body is just teasing you. Like when your car is making a noise all day everyday but the second you take it to the mechanic and they say "what noise?".

    Exactly. 

    I think I'm more just mad that I didn't call in first. Which is incredibly petty of me.

    No, it's not. Because if you do it first then that guy is the bad guy. If you call in knowing it would screw everybody over, you're the bad guy. I understand completely.

  • Sad I sorry honey. I would be ppissedand upset too.

    Have you talked to your doc, see if you can get a week off of work or so? Something to help you get some rest and get some strength back?

  • Oooh, I remember once being guilted into going to work when I tried to call off. It sucks. Get to your doctor's asap so you can do something about that sickness, and then you won't have to have this added stress.
  • I'm sorry you're having such a rough 1st tri! : ( Everyone needs a pity party sometimes, so vent away. I really hope your doc can subscribe something (I think it's called zofran or something?) to help with the m/s.
  • I'm sorry to hear that Mrs.R. I would have said, "I am still not coming in." but that's why you are a great person! :) Feel better soon!
  • Uggh I'm sorry you have to deal with that.. I would definitely call your dr.

    That sucks about that guy calling in all the time. But I think even if you had called in first he wouldn't of care and would of still called in. 

  • I'm sorry to hear this....i know it can be rough...hang in there...and have a pity party its fine.  We'll listen!
  • Aw you poor thing. MS is bad enough, the pg hormones can't be helping at all. Don't feel guilty about it at all. You could use some time off just as much as anyone.
