It’s official - off work for 2 months for bed rest

I saw my high risk doctor for the first time today. Brought over the paperwork from the hospital where I stayed for 4 days for monitoring. I have the beginning of preeclampsia (there is protein but not highly) but also have gestational diabetes and hypertension. I’m 29 weeks pregnant.

The doctor straight up told me I cannot work at all (my job is stressful). I’m exited because I hated my job so much but I’ll miss out on pay. Where I live, the government subsidizes your salary but only 70% of it. If they base it off of my last few months I’d pay I’m getting barely anything since I’ve had to call in sick soooo many times due to pain, headaches, dizziness, etc. My last pay was horrible! Missing a huge chunk.
