Being pregnant is NOT a disability!

I am very aware that not all pregnancies are the same, but thanks for clearing that up anyway. Yes, my parents still fucked while pregnant and I still fuck, but when someone tells you they don't wanna be with you, then you get pregnant, he tells you he don't want it and you still fuck the dude?!?! This isn't ME making it up, I am posting what I was told. OH and my POINT??? She's worried about a little bit of work, yet risks her unborn childs health by fuckin a guy who's already given her STD's. If nobody can see that point, then people here are high and mighter than I thought.

Its not about getting screwed at work, its about actually doing what your supposed to do and not acting like your disabled when your not. If she can't do this work while 2 month pregnant, then quit, because we don't have many people at a time that require heavy lifting.

The part I underlined above is a stretch, but whatever.

The bottom line is that you don't know her situation, you shouldn't judge (or act "high & mighty"), and her personal life and medical issues are none of your business.

If this girl didn't want people to be in her buisness, she shoulda kept her her buisness to herself. I am not acting high and mighty, I'm sick of people playing the system.

whatever. get over it. sounds like she's pregnant and worried about miscarrying. and btw. for the record. all this misplaced anger (i.e ranting that she got std's from her boyfriend) cant be good for your unborn baby...

Hey, guess what? I worry about miscarriage from time to time, but I'm not gonna let that stop me from living life and providing for my son.

i guess everyone is different. mentally and physically. she doesnt want her fear of miscarriage to stop her from providing for her child either... hence the fact that she is going to speak to her doctor about getting put on light duty. :shock:

I have three kids and I have learned 1 thing.....don't argue with a pregnant chick. You won't win that fight.

So with both of you being pregnant...I say you are both right and let me know if you need ice cream.

Mmmmmmmmm ice cream!

Does nobody listen? She was a lazy shit to begin with and now its "I can't answer a call bell". If she were having a rough time, she would let everyone know....I guess no one can fathom that a woman would use a pregnancy as an excuse to not do their job. There is also no medical reason to be on light duty especially at 8 weeks....I asked my OB about it because I wasn't sure months ago. The human body is an amazing thing.

I'm not surprised by reactions on here....not in the least.

Some people really never cease to amaze me. :(

yeah... possibly... but it also sounds like she really dislikes and judges this woman for other reasons...

Hell, maybe they're both knocked up & have herpes. We'll never know.

Purple_chick, since you are 6 months pregnant perhaps you need to take more consideration for yourself? :geek:

Instead of being angry that she is asking to do less, maybe you should be caring for your own pregnancy too?!

Right now you almost seem like the angry old person who says "Well, I had to walk twenty miles in a snow storm (with holes in my shoes!) to get to school...so why shouldn't everyone have to?"

(I'm joking of course. It sounds better if you say it with a comical tone of voice and face. )

Look at this fact-->

From the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology's Committee Opinion on Exercise During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period (Number 267, January 2002):

"It has been reported that pregnant women whose occupations require standing or repetitive, strenuous, physical work (eg, lifting) have a tendency to deliver earlier and have small-for-gestational-age infants."

Soooo, this new girl started where I work (geriactric psych unit in a hospital) and not long after she found out she's pregnant. Well, now she can't do anything, telling people she's gonna get the doc to write her a "light duty" note. Unfuckinreal. There is nothing wrong with her, she's just lazy. Wrong place to be a slacker. I worked with someone like this in a nursing home once, the second she found out, she couldn't do any lifting. Fuckin idiots.

I understand your frustration, but pregnant ladies really do have to watch how much they lift. the ones that try to be f@#king super-pregos are only setting themselves up for a harder pregnancy in the end.

It sucks that you have to pick up the slack - I feel for you. It think the main frustration is Lazy People. Pregnancy didn't change this person, it just gave her a convenient excuse, and once that Doctor writes her a note, there is nothing that you or the Management can do about it. That's going to happen. There are lazy people everywhere and we just have to deal with them.

Really??? The doc told my wife not to lift more than the weight of our child(20lbs or so), for her pregnancy. And that was b/c he realized it's pretty unavoidable to pick up a child that age.

Agreed....
I know purp - and from what I know of her? this is the issue she has with this co-worker. The co-worker is already lazy, add pregnancy and she's got the perfect "excuse" to get out of work. I get the lawsuits, taking care of yourself and your unborn child. But lazy people suck....and it sucks having to pick up their slack, not matter what the reason. If this co-worker busted her ass as a teammate but her doctor wanted her on light duty because of pregnancy? I'm willing to bet purp's opinion would be different.

Opinions (medical and personal) vary just like pregnancies. I know of too many women who legitimately were bed-ridden because of a high risk pregnancy and just as many who milked their "disability". Opposite of that, I know plenty who worked out until the day before their child was born....one in a spinning class, no less. I'm an equestrian and know women who rode their horse through 8 months of pregnancy, others who stopped riding earlier than that of their own decision. Almost all of them still shoveled their horses' stalls and cared for their animals until delivery.

Fuckin A! This is what I've been trying to say the whole time!
