Is ur boss understanding or accommodating?

Hi, i am wondering if your boss is understanding and accommodating with regards to you being pregnant. I can't help but feel that the workforce here is nt exactly supportive to us mummies/pregnant mummies. Its my 2nd time pregnant and this time I'm in a different company. Both times, i feel the bosses are not that understanding. After annoucing I'm pregnant, im still being micro managed, given tons of work with tight deadlines. Im not asking for no work but with the not feeling well on n off, mc for check up, i really can't finish the tasks in such a tight time and i am trying to avoid working OT. Im not sure how to let my boss understand without making my performance looks bad. Sometimes i also wonder, Govt wants us to give birth but it's just so hard. Do they know how hard it is and have they provided enough info, educate or help employers so they can prehaps treat pregnant mummies with more understanding? Curious to know if your bosses are like that too.

I used to have bosses that are micro managing & even asking me to be fair to the rest of my team mates by not taking too much HL/MC. But I stood firm by telling him that I’m really not feeling well. It was my first trimester. So was quite bad and depressing. Thankfully now, I’ve changed to a new job. Though scope also doesn’t allow me to wfh but my lady boss is still very understanding. I guess we need to have bosses that have experiences with childbirth so that they’ll be more understanding towards you when preggy. Not easy to be a working mum. Remember that you’re not alone, and stay positive always! 😊
