Job not accommodating pregnancy

Your doctor should write a note, and it’s illegal for a job not to accommodate for pregnant women. Pregnancy is considered a short term disability. This could be considered discrimination. First step though is to get that note from the doc. If they don’t follow the doc’s orders, then I’d file a complaint.

Your doctor can and should absolutely write a note saying your standing restrictions. I’m 31 weeks and my doctor doesn’t want me on my feet more than a few hours per day especially without a back brace and compression stockings, and when I am up and about I’m I directed to take frequent rests to prevent muscle spasms and such strong Braxton hicks. You have to listen to your body to prevent preterm labor and it sounds like yours is telling you to stop all the time on your feet. Your doctor needs to help you out here. A time limit of how much you can stand without breaks should be the minimum they can do for you. I would call the doctor and let them know this is necessary and ask how you go about getting this from them.

I’m sorry your going through this pregnancy is hard enough ☹️ I’m a care assistant but work for an agency company so we provide care when places are short staffed so when I was working although I was supposed to be on lighter duties most places I was sent were very short staffed and I had to do a lot of heavy work that I was advised against but then I realised no amount of money is worth risking the safety of my baby and I stopped working at 30 weeks. I was the same as yourself I was in a lot of pain and after 1 shift I needed a couple of days to recover. Maybe it would be possible for you to do shorter hours? It’s very difficult financially I was lucky enough that my partner has a good job and was able to support me. I hope you get it sorted out just remember to put yourself first and look after you and baby that’s the most important thing 🤍

You gotta do what’s best for you mom. You know what you can do and what you can’t. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
