Questions & Answers

Just ignore her, You'll be off on maternity leave soon, all you can do is smile sweetly & complete the work to the best of your ability within the time given, if she knows that her attitdue is bothering you, she'll continue to keep trying to weigh you down with more work. If you cant manage what your given, let her know. and she'll soon stop xx

@Gymnast36 Nope...I doubt it...there are other incidences that say otherwise...you'd imagine she'd want me to take on less work during this time...considering she has two kids (so she's been pregnant before...twice).

@Darladybug Well...I just think she's on my case for some reason. Could be I told her that the kind of work I get is not challenging and that after my maternity leave I would love to have key performance indicators so that I can increase my skills...she's on my case with the telephone bill...which I always make sure I pay if I've spent over my limit for the month...
I'm even on the verge of just booking leave for two weeks of February (just before my maternity leave starts) and simply ask my GP to book me off work the previous week and a half of Feb...I'm just afraid that I will be stressing and bring on high blood pressure to myself and develop pre-eclampsia.

Thanks for the response ladies!!!!

It might be a little of both lol. When I was pregnant with my son, I was 8 1/2 months pregnant, during Christmas time in retail. I was the manager of the stockroom and I was having issues with my team not completing tasks as needed. I was always on their case, I was always so stressed and my boss was ALWAYS on my case. It was the day after my brother attempted suicide and she had yelled at me to get my team's act together or I would face consequences. I went in the bathroom and cried for like 10 minutes. When I got myself together and went back to work, it was obvious I had been crying. She asked if I was ok, I told her yes and she never laid into me like that again. She was normally never like that so I just assume she was having a hard time with something and forgot that I was a crazy pregnant woman. Hopefully she will get it soon enough, but maybe think of a way to "tell" her you feel this way? Good luck!

Maybe she's just trying to be helpful, make sure you're coping ok but it's not quite translating the way she means it to? Otherwise you know that you're on top of your work and that's all that matters :)
