Yep I also have a pretty demanding job in pharmacy and on my feet all day. I’ve recently been getting quite severe pelvic pain, so having to Sit down a lot and adjusting a few other things, but still working very hard. It has not gone down well with one particular colleague who has been saying some very mean things about me milking being pregnant etc when it could not be further from the truth. It’s horrible working with her and her negative/toxic energy I literally dread it, trying to block it out though as it’s stress I do not need at the minute. Unfortunately not a very supportive manager either who avoids all confrontation. 😂 Bad combo. So I do feel your pain. At the same time I refuse to do things that I know will compromise my or baby’s safety or I’ll be in so much pain after work I can barely walk. So block out the haters and prioritise you (two!) xxx
Do things even slower to annoy them more 😂
I feel you.. rant away. It’s good to get it out there and you feel better after. Is there anyone at work you are particularly close to that you could talk to about it all? Do you have a good manager/team leader? I’m 22 weeks also and feel like I’m more 35 with the size of this bump. I have the same with a particular colleague at work, but she’s like 60 something and has zero sympathy because she had four girls all within a 6 year gap. My other colleagues are great, and some of them love to ask about baby or I’m doing etc.. this week ive felt really achey and I’ve not had great sleep, and the older colleague’s response was “oh you wait until baby is here, you won’t know what’s hit you” and constantly likes to remind me that it’s going to get so much worse 🙄👊🏽🤡 like, why? It feels so negative all the time and I feel like I don’t even want to talk about it or be around her when she’s in the room.
