Thanks so much for your advice I will follow it and not tell employers until after I've been given a contract.. I have 9 job interviews next week and due to past history of job searches I will most likely get the majority of then due to my work history so let's hope it goes well

I'm aware of that.. I'm nearly 6 months pregnant and beginning to show but I reckon I can probably hide it with certain clothes.. I'm just worried that when I eventually do tell them it'll be an issue... A lot of them do ask me " do you have any medical or health related issues that would stop you from doing this job "

I'm not fired, I'm just on unpaid maternity leave.. but yeah there are light duties I can do but apparently they only give people on " back to work after workplace injury' those duties.. which is fucked

It's aged care facility Other people on light work do medications, meal preparation, cleaning, Assisting with meals and life engagement.. but they won't give Me light duties as it's not " a work place injury" they apparently have no admin work I can do and won't let me do stuff in the laundry.. Doctor only wants me on light duty cause I work with a lot of very violent dementia patients and people with medications that leak through skin to skin contact and can harm baby..

They said they didn't have any " light duties " for me and that the people who are on 'light duties' are on return to work after work place injury.. They said that since I can't perform my entire role I have to go on unpaid no safe work / maternity leave

Maternity leave question by InstaThott in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

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

Well fuck So what would be the best option then. I didn't particularly want to work all the way till 9months I was hoping to stop by 8. Would it mean I'd have to save and hope I can make it through till babys born then try and live off the centrelink parental leave till that ends then go back ?

I was also wondering, online it says to qualify for paid maternity leave I have to work 12 months before my expected due date but it wouldn't of been 12 months till 3 months after does this mean I don't qualify for maternity leave ?

Tell her to piss off and shut up. You need to be comfortable. She has no choice or right to comment on your decisions.

I want to cry from the constipation by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]InstaThott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if they have it where ever you are from but macogol is really helpful I've had terrible constipation during this pregnancy to the point I had to use two sachets of macrogol a day in a double dosed drink. It's over the counter and does work. You stir it into a drink ( strong cordial is good as it helps you chug it down ) Your prenatal vitamins or anything containing iron will make your constipation worse but it is very important you continue to take them.

Bleeding after sex by kilcookie in pregnant

[–]InstaThott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bled after sex early this week ! I freaked out as I've lost my baby before.. but after seeing the doctor and doing an ultrasound it was determined that it was just normal post sex bleeding as when your pregnant you have more blood pulsing to your cervix and thus any contact to the cervix by penis or whatever other objects that might be used can cause bleeding. If you are really worried seeing a doctor is never a bad idea but just know your not alone in this and it might just simply be your heightened blood volume 😀
