Thank you girls for your advice. I’ve been through this before in 2017 and explained to my manager and I actually got sacked over it :( I received a letter the day before I was supposed to return to work saying that I’d gone “AWOL” and wasn’t allowed back. This time around I’ve gone into an absolute panic as I cannot afford to lose my job so I felt I needed to explain deeply. I feel as though I could talk to my manager about such thing but I decided to keep it plain & simple and straight to the point. I’m waiting on the call now to let me know when my appointment is to induce the labour and I’m so upset. I’m scared and worried and I don’t want to go through this all over again.

I’ve written this out. Does it sound okay? Im a nervous wreck

I still don’t feel great, I found out I was expecting last week but I had been getting really bad pains over the weekend and even still till now, TMI but I haven’t bled, but the tests are now showing negative but I got a scan and there is still something there (I was told it’s very early day’s, they “wouldn’t refer to it as a baby”). But it hasn’t left by itself so I’m waiting on a call today to let me know when my appointment will be as they’ve opted to give me something to induce it. Overall, about the whole situation I feel okay, they have made me feel okay about it all and it’s happened so quick. I’m not looking forward to the next stage but as soon as I know when the appointment will be I will let you know. I should be getting a phone call today between 3-4 to let me know what’s exactly going to be happening. I haven’t tried to be ignorant, I just have been processing everything. Of course I would rather nobody else know about this. I am still in pain, I can’t swallow tablets so I’ve got some dissolving ones but they aren’t helping much 😩 I need to work but I don’t know if at the moment I’ll be able to cope with the long shifts & standing the whole time, I feel ridiculous but my body is aching so much
