OB won’t put me on work leave

Roze • Got my 🌈 baby! FTM July 2017. 2nd baby due July 2019

In California women don’t go on pregnancy disability till 36 weeks unless your doctor makes you medically exempt. I’m 31 weeks, work night shift as a nurse and I asked my OB if I could please get off at 36 weeks and his response is “I usually don’t put women on leave unless they’re bleeding or contracting.” Uhhhh that sounds like in labor dude. Waaaaaaah
