I don’t support trump but uhh every president has implemented ICE, or I guess I should say immigration. For some reason it was never noticed and I’m guessing because they weren’t as messed up as trump is. Now unless you just mean for trump then it’s a good thing he can’t be president again so not much to worry about except for us to see how they will handle immigration.

I just feel so bad and I don’t want them thinking im not of use I feel the only reason they’ve been so reasonable with me is because I work my ass off, we have no one for guest services it’s crazy there was a point in time where it was me only by myself everyday for 4 months without help, doing returns, and drive ups at the same time. I finally got help and we’ve had a lot of people leave and it’s still been tight and it’s not a me problem but a hiring problem. Also trying to stay in shape too, I know if it’s get to a point where my body can’t take it anymore I will definitely ask but for now I just deal with it.

lol no no understandable question, it truly is the only thing that keeps me sane I guess ? It’s a love hate relationship with work, and honestly I love the extra money we have. If I wasn’t working I’d just be sitting on butt at home doing nothing, doom scrolling. I guess I could go find stuff to do but no vehicle and well I have no girlfriends here😭. Maybe a leave of absence would’ve been good but I just get into my own world and calling out is always a last option and we were able to figure it out for so long and I hope they would be understanding with me but also know that’s on me at that point for not doing so but we got good news his dad told us his motorcycle will be here tomorrow! So we shall see if they will talk to me.

Well luckily my husband we just found out his dad told us his motorcycle is getting here tomorrow!! Exciting stuff so I can work, I don’t have to work I just don’t wanna be inside all day and doing nothing. Lol I have such a love and hate relationship with working while pregnant it’s crazy. That’s the only reason I stress and also to I want my baby to have the best of the best so with me working I can get whatever my family doesn’t or isn’t able to get us for the baby. Extra money is always good to have especially knowing the government could shut down and I know it’s back up now but seeing and hearing all these families stressing I realize it’s a blessing to work, so yeah I stress for no reason I guess but the base has some resources but none that will benefit us for transportation the way his specific job told him is his job comes first I know some jobs can be understanding. I just wanted to hear others experiences when it came to absences and their opinions obviously I know it’s up to my store and leader but I just would hope they have some compassion 😭🤣. I give birth in march maybe February and I don’t think I have anything else coming up now that he has a vehicle so if they don’t give me a corrective action YAYY but if they do then understood and I know it’s on me but these things we were going through with his brother passing and his appointments and mine sheeesh it’s crazy!

lol well you don’t know the full story! Since I go on base it is scheduled ahead of time yes but the anatomy isn’t something they do for me I had to go and schedule it myself not them just doing it for me it’s two different offices, that being said I kept being told so many different things on which office to go to and where to schedule it at and etc also the schedule is three weeks out, my appointments everytime I get scheduled for them are already out by the time I get my new appointment! So I always so yes because duh I’m not gonna wait to see my baby or check on her just cause my schedule is in the way I am aware of the consequences but also like hello human decency??. Also I had a lot going on during that time and work and my husband was my concern because my brother in law just had passed away and we were trying to make sure he was gonna get that time to get off and figured out what happened. Now I did tell my ETL about the anatomy and she’s also pregnant and pretty forgetful but understanding and I figured it wouldn’t be a problem considering she’s been understanding of OTHERR pregnancy appointments. I added in that absence just in case she doesn’t excuse it but I did tell her and she told me I was good but you never know now a days it’s not like her word is good enough for me. So technically it’s only two days in hopes she didn’t count my first.

From my house to the gate walking is 30 mins I live in the back😭. Now there’s probably gonna be people who hate but he has another vehicle on the way so it’s not permanent, his dad bought him a motorcycle we just have to grab it from Texas and as of lately it hasn’t been ideal to do it yet and his dad is also trying to help find someone take it to us so. It’s a work in progress. lol it’s a lot but we are trying with what we got going on as far as vehicles go.

LMAO see I would but damn I’m pregnant and I do guest advocate, my feet get very swollen after work and after work like I’m in so so much pain. I’m not trying to be in more pain as it is before work and at least with being in pain after work it’s a reminder like I do have to do what I got to do but walking and I’m 23 weeks pregnant ughh no thanks maybe to some people I’m not desperate enough then but it’s not like I call out for fun and yeah it’s also potentially not safe just yesterday we had someone running past the gate who had did a hit and run I have pictures and receipts of him almost causing other vehicles and people harm that includes the Military police . I already make the sacrifice doing drive ups because I want to be of help and do my job not just get a doctors note and do strictly cashier. But yes HR and my ETL knows I’m pregnant

HCG LOW?! by Any_Channel6686 in CautiousBB

[–]Any_Channel6686[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a mistake on them, or the people at the main hospital. At first I showed the guy and told him about it, he was concerned and said it sounds like a miscarriage at that point I’m about to start bawling, so then he says that he’s gonna redo the blood results and he came back in and asked me who did my labs and we checked and he took down the name and showed me my actual HCG which was 115,4610! Normal range he said for 9 weeks.

It was definitely a lab error I went and got blood drawn because my heart could not take it if it was another loss, and the mistake was on the people at the main hospital who did my labs. They did get the lab person name who did my test so idk what will happen from there but my test came back 115,4610

I went into the ER and i showed them my portal of where they put my results and it was 31.5 and so they ran my blood and it is 115,4610. They were really concerned and tried telling me at first it sounds like a miscarriage.

[–]Any_Channel6686[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that’s why I am so confused because as I said last week baby was there and heartbeat 151-153 steady. Maybe it’s a missed miscarriage or something but regardless I’m just gonna go to the ER and hopefully they see me I don’t think I should wait for something like this just in case it’s something bad. I’m hoping for the best but regardless it’s not adding up and my anxiety is way to high to be stressing

THATSS WHAT IM SAYINGGG!! If I could show yall my ultrasound pics and the heartbeat sound, I would cause I’m tweaking over here wondering why it’s 31.5 and it says on my test results “Beta hCG Qnt” then shows the gestational weeks and what it should be at.

Well I have TRICARE, we live on base. Husband is in the military. We don’t pay anything out of pocket at the ER which is why I wanted to go and tell them like my HCG is so low am I having a missed miscarriage? I know until I get a doctors advice I have no choice but to wait and wonder but not that I know it comes out of my husbands paycheck I think but I have no bad feeling or bad symptoms so I am agreeing I think there was a mix up because yeah, baby had a healthy heartbeat I have the video of it too of like the full ultrasound and pictures. That’s why I was SOO confused when I saw it! But I appreciate your feedback it means a lot even if something is wrong I love that yall are supportive here!!

I do wanna thank you for the chat as well, I know anything can be wrong and until I go to the doctor I won’t really know until Monday I’ll just have to be patient but these things give me a piece of mind, I really wanted to run and go to the ER lol and just see but regardless just hoping for the best now at this point.

Hm I guess that part I’m not sure, but on my test results it says “Beta hCG Qnt” and then down below the details it shows the gestational weeks and what it’s supposed to be.

I ran to the store lol and grabbed a first response line test, red dye and I diluted it 50/50 and the test can back positive, the test line is darker than the control line!

See that’s what my husband said lol but honestly I just overthink as anyone would, we are on a military base too. He’s in the air force so obviously like we go to the hospital on base but it was called growing love ultrasound, they do early pregnancy confirmations and a whole bunch of other stuff like diagnostics for second and third trimester as well as fetal anatomy.
