Feeling Bad

Im 17 weeks pregnant at sobrang selan ko din tulad mo. Until now may morning sickness parin ako and i cant work anymore because of this. Lagi narin kasi akong nagkakasakit sa office kaya napagpasyahan ko at ng pamilya ko na mag immediate resignation nalang ako for me to take care of myself and my baby. Payo ko lang ,kung di na kaya tigil na muna kesa magtake ng risk.

Hang in there sis. I am currently on bed rest for two months now (and may be extended as I am having contractions). When I informed my boss that I was advised to be on bed rest due to threatened abortion, she told me to report to work atleast once a week because I don't have a replacement and for transition purposes. She also mentioned that my case is non-ICU. She is also a mother and a lawyer by the way.

Hi mummy please dont think too much abt what other people say and always prioritise your baby and your well being first... its your right to take mc and the company dont have the right to stop u as well cause i dont think they want to be responsible if something happen to you. Can try talking to your boss/gynae. Maybe gynae can give u HL for the time being.. or if not can opt for non pay leave if u have used up your benefits.

I feel u too... everyday i am forcing myself to work eventhough im not feeling well due to morning sickness. Feel vry tired to travel far from home to office everyday 1hr+. Sometimes in mrt ppl dont even offer me seat and pretend sleeping esp during morning peak hour. My direct mgr not understanding at all, giving me alot of pressure at work, keep complaining i didnt deliver the work on time coz im taking leave + mc.

i am sorry to hear about your situation and the lack of understanding and stigma they put on you for being pregnant! Luckily, as I've been working from home i was able to lay down when needed during my first trimester and was able to work through without taking sick leave. Your health (mentally,emotionally and physically) are the most important thing during this time, both for your sake and baby's. Take care, dear

Don’t worry, I think you are not the only one and many women may face the same issues as you. I believed as you enter towards the late 2nd trimester and 3rd, you will feel better. I know it may not be easy because your body is supporting for 2 person now that’s why you will require extra energy for that. Hope that things will getter better for you and your baby. Stay strong and be healthy!

Same here momshies.. 17 weeks pregnant I dont know what to do. Pag nkaupo sumasakit ung balakang ko. Same din pag nkatau while cooking.. Pag nglalakad nmn ang bilis ko hingalin. Ang bilis ko din magutom. Lower abdomen maskit din lalo na pag nagmomove n si baby. Bubble pop up inside my tummy. Its baby movement. Unting tiis mga momshie. Mkkaaraos din tau.. 5 months more.

hugss.. reading this knowing that I am not alone and we are not alone. I am 18 months now working in a pre school and I am so depressed to go to work bc Im feeling all the things youve mentioned. worst, ive used up most of my mc/leave too. 5 more months! we can do this although its not easy mentally and physically. but if u really need to take mc and rest just do it dont care baby and mommy first 💪

Im 17weeks pregnant, I work from home since 2014, online digital buy and sell, many people suffer from traditional work especially us pregnant. we need be extra careful kasi baka makunan tayo, bawal din mastress may effect sa behavior ni baby pag lumalaki. Im hoping na lahat ng mga babaeng buntis makaaccess sa work from home... para d nila mafeel na burden sila if nag stay sila sa bahay...

Hey momma, I was in the same boat as you during my 17th week. But let me tell you something. I am totally recovered from all the nausea and stuff. You are doing great. Just keep taking mc and PCL and oml. Don't care what your colleagues say. This is the period where ur mood affects ur baby's wellbeing. So focus on that. It's gonna be a new year and ur mc will refresh hahaha. Hang in there.
