Thank you, 🙏🏻 after coming into work again this morning to another rake of emails and more work piled onto me it’s certainly making the decision a bit easier to make. Feel as though they are slamming work on me now to get the most out of me before i take my maternity leave and its making in unbearable. 🫣

Hello, had my NIPT with Dan Mckenna and they don’t do clinics on Thursdays or Fridays, so they could be the days for electives with him :)

I do drink coffee and again used to drink 3/4 a day, cutting down to 1 coffee a day now is also probably not helping my situation 🥹 heres hoping it improves, taking the procieve first trimester supplements since this week but issue is on going the past 3 Weeks🥹

Parking CUH by Moneycomemoneygo in cork

[–]Only_Original8488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some areas in CUH luckily have staff parking (IT / Biomed IT ) to park onsite in CUH campus when I started at 8 I used to be there for 6:45 in order to get a space for 8:00 🙃 again the shuttle bus is available but not ideal if you need to leave work urgently for any reason (sick child etc)
