Teachers who are pregnant?

Question

Hi, this is my second time pregnant, suffered a miscarriage over the summer. School just started up and I am so nervous something is going to happen while I'm teaching and alone with the kids. 
Also looking for tips from other teachers  who teach all day with limited access to the bathroom. 
And maternity leave sub plans! Ahhhhhhhh! I have a little while to go before I need to worry about that, but it's already on my mind.

Answer

I teach high school Sp Ed and I don't have a para with me.  I'm also the sp Ed only teacher on campus! I can't leave the kids alone! Yesterday I got sick and couldn't leave the room in time, I had to throw up in the trash can in class. Luckily the kids just thought it was hilarious but still.... 😑

I'm due in April - right around state testing time 😑 I'm hoping I go overdue like I did with my first so I don't have to deal with trying to get certified subs who have had the test training to cover state testing! Testings happen 2 weeks before I'm due so ... Stay in there bubs!

I like to have my lesson plans done ahead of time so I'm hoping to have my sub plans done around spring break.  I already know I'll have the same sub the entire time so it'll be helpful!

Answer

I'm a Preschool Teacher at a private school. I'm currently 30 weeks as of today. I think things might be a bit easier in my case because my family owns the school. I have two 10 minute breaks and an hour lunch break. If I need to go to the bathroom other than that. I just call an assistant teacher to cover me for those few minutes. Since I go on my leave on October 6th, I already have a sub who will step in for me until I return in January. Our schools curriculum is developmental so I don't have anything set to leave for her but I know she's prepared otherwise. Try to talk to the administration so that you're better prepared. And they should be able to accommodate bathroom breaks because at this point it's a medical reason. Hope this helps.
