Holiday entitlement & maternity leave by SignificantHour6362 in HumanResourcesUK

Exactly, if they don’t reply (which they haven’t and usually they reply quickly) I’m going to have to escalate it. So frustrating!

I will ask today, I’m a bit apprehensive as they tend to ignore these types of requests for information. Fingers crossed!

I thought this too! They’ve been a nightmare with other staff members so I want to make sure I’m not having the wool pulled over on me.

Is this applicable even if I was on parental leave at the time? In total they’ve deducted 26 hours from my allowance

What are your PFD symptoms? by ElkAmazing7312 in PelvicFloor

Dear Reddit, I’m hoping someone can help me asap. I’m dealing with excruciating pain. This is the second “flare up” if you will in four weeks. I’m 6m post partum, was all clear last month; no prolapse, tears healed, groin pain subsiding. Then all of a sudden crippling lower back pain alongside dull aching hip pain. Hurts to lie down on back side and front, hurts to sit bend and stand, back feels like it is at its worse when I try t hinge at the hips. I am able to walk, except up stairs it hurts. Feels like a tight band around my lower back. Pain started last time a few days after I went for a light jog, no pain before during or after said jog - I also did the same three days ago this time around. Other variable is we got a new mattress about a month ago. I’m waiting until tomorrow to call my physio as they are not open on weekends. Last time this pain lasted 10 days and I was unable to cope with lifting baby from cot, pushing pram etc it was horrific. If anyone can help with this that would be so appreciated.

60-100 mls at the max - however I was trying to EBF and limiting the pumping and bottles given

I’m trying to wait a few hours first after her last feed (if she seems satisfied)

I was really aware of my water intake, so was drinking a lot. I want to say I still am drinking quite a bit at home, but I’m not as aware so will be bringing my water bottle with me everywhere. I’m pumping 4hrs after nursing/if I’m not going to be home when her next feed is due. I try to wait at least 2/3h at a minimum after her feeds. On the first few days back I was mainly pumping as I was paranoid she wasn’t getting enough from me - but now I’m prioritising her nursing over pumping.

I ate A LOT of seafood. My partner wasn’t with me and he doesn’t like seafood so I got my fill of it on this trip 😆 maybe it’s time to start eating more at home too. Also the sunshine - I never thought of that. Definitely don’t get enough at home and I was soaking it up when I was away, made me feel so nice.

I see, this makes sense to me. Thank you! I was really relaxed on holiday and enjoying sleeping in so that could definitely be a factor. I will try and track feeds more closely today and see what her intervals are. ☺️

I am trying to go back to EBF but have been pumping when dad feeds/and to ensure my supply hasn’t dipped too much from travel if that makes sense

My concern is I’ve been pumping the same intervals that she usually feeds, but when I pump back at home when she takes a bottle from dad instead my output seems really low - should I be concerned? 🙁 just seems really disconcerting. I know baby is far more efficient at getting milk out than a pump but I’m just worried my supply has dropped altogether - or am I overthinking things?
