Has anyone gotten their dr/midwife to sign off on early disability? I’m 30 weeks with GD and honestly haven’t slept more than 2 hours at a time in easily 4 months (between heartburn, back/hip pain, and peeing all the time) and I am TIRED. My immune system is taking a hit too, with a lingering cold I can’t seem to kick.

I’m supposed to stop working at 36 weeks, but I’d like to stop at 33 weeks, when my boss goes out for 6 weeks leave (I’m an executive assistant). No one at work would have any objections (hr/boss/other EAs) it’s just a matter of getting my midwife to ok it since the state (ca) manages disability leave.

Has anyone asked their provider to sign off on something like this? How did it go?
