Is ur boss understanding or accommodating?

Hi, i am wondering if your boss is understanding and accommodating with regards to you being pregnant. I can't help but feel that the workforce here is nt exactly supportive to us mummies/pregnant mummies. Its my 2nd time pregnant and this time I'm in a different company. Both times, i feel the bosses are not that understanding. After annoucing I'm pregnant, im still being micro managed, given tons of work with tight deadlines. Im not asking for no work but with the not feeling well on n off, mc for check up, i really can't finish the tasks in such a tight time and i am trying to avoid working OT. Im not sure how to let my boss understand without making my performance looks bad. Sometimes i also wonder, Govt wants us to give birth but it's just so hard. Do they know how hard it is and have they provided enough info, educate or help employers so they can prehaps treat pregnant mummies with more understanding? Curious to know if your bosses are like that too.

It must has been tough on u 😔 My situation is slightly different. my bosses and colleagues are still understanding when I need to take off for check up etc. but it is the job nature that requires me to do quite a bit of traveling, and days are filled with long and unproductive meetings, so I have to either wake up early or stay up late to clear the backend workload. The stress has affected my sleep and I always get anxiety when Mondays come. Unfortunately both my pregnancy ended in miscarriage, 6 months apart. As much as I know good colleagues are hard to find, I want to focus on my mental well being next and I am mentally prepared to take a pay cut in exchange for a less stressful/demanding job. I hope U will slowly find ways to cope with issues at work too. Take care!
