I've had... a LOT of issues while pregnant. nothing high risk or scary, just a lot of awfulness. A partial list includes -

--Very painful round ligament pain (makes me gasp)
--BH contractions so strong I sweat and get dizzy (they are BH, I had 2 NSTs..)
--Moderate edema in knees and downward thru feet, also mild in hands. The skin in these areas feels 'bruised' from it.
--Knee pain from a preexisting condition, exasperated by extra weight (very painful/hard to get up from sitting or climb stairs)
--Strained shoulder (probably from pulling myself up instead of using my knees)
--Dizzy/vertigo
--Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea that comes on suddenly, night or day regardless of what or when I eat or what I'm doing

(Probably 10 more things I could list here).

I'm 35 weeks, almost 36.

Today my Dr. wrote me a note saying it would be better for me to work from home. Mainly due to the mobility issues but also the nausea and dizziness.

I was thrilled to get it. It means not having to shower, dress professionally, or make the drive in. (God, i was so sick on my drive home tonight. It is so SUDDEN!) But since I have like a month left before baby, I'd like to keep on doing my job, and I have the kind of job that could be done remotely pretty easily. I even have all the equipment I need, including a company laptop.

But... when I went back to work and showed my supervisor... I got a feeling that the request might be denied. Hopefully that's just me being negative, but I was told we can meet about it in a few days after others are consulted.

So I don't know what to think. I mean it doesn't say I 'have' to work from home. Just says it'd be better for me due to complications. Argh.
