Motherhood Maternity

Posts Tagged ‘job’

My job has declined my original maternity leave letter, please help me draft a better one for 10 POINTS.

So i would totally be intrested in working at either and orphange or maternity home. What do i study to get this kind of job? help>?

I am almost 15 weeks and my pre-pregnancy clothes do not fit at all. I was wearing them up until last week with the button and zipper open and a belly band but theya re just too uncomfortable. Now, my belly is not poking out but it is much bigger than before. Rather than having 3 or 4 different stages of clothes, I just want to start wearing maternity clothes. They are comfortable and it makes sense to me. I am proud to show off my belly.

A woman at my job came up and asked me today how far along I am so I told her 15 weeks. She looked at me like I was an idiot and asked why I was wearing maternity clothes already cause my belly is barely poking out. I told her it was more comfortable. She laughed and said "But you are barely pregnant". I snapped back that she "Barely had any class" and just walked away.

When did you start wearing maternity clothes and do you think I am strange for starting at 15 weeks if my belly is growing and my old clothes aren't fitting?
I could care less about her opinion but it really annoyed me. (Imagine that - a pregnant woman annoyed!)

I'm curious how long you have to work in a teaching position before you can take extended maternity leave and still have a job to return to when you decide to go back to work.

Thanks!

My friend and her husband have private insurance (he is self-employed) and they did not select the "maternity" option because they were done having children. Unfortunately they took a risk and now she's pregnant. They are actually not thrilled by the pregnancy and are pretty devastated in general, emotionally and financially. Her insurance won't cover anything and they are looking at ,000 out of pocket for the whole pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Are there any creative ways that she can get her policy to cover it? Or where could she work part-time to get coverage? Or are there any organizations she could join to get a new policy (Major organizations that would have an insurance buy-in option?)?

I feel lucky to be covered under my husband's job! What a terrible position to be in.

I used to love my job, but I just had my baby in June, and I feel awful going back to work (I have two more weeks of maternity leave left). My mom will be taking care of my baby boy while I am at work, so at least I don't need to worry about leaving him with a stranger. Unfortunatelly, staying at home longer is not an option for me. I feel guilty, sad, and I cry every day. How can I make it easier both for my baby and for myself?

Is there anything out there that would help me cover my bills while on maternity leave. My job doesnt offer any kind of benefits and im a little stressed out on how i will pay my expenses while recovery from giving birth.
