Chicken Pox

by ckellyComment Published at 17:3517:350 comments0 comments23 Visits23 VisitsReport

My poor little boy has chicken pox and is covered head to toe in yucky spots.
the ironic things is the doctors appointment i had made for last saturday (where we were told he had chicken pox) was actually made to get his vacination against them.
Along with the chicken pox, my poor little boy also has tonsilitis so he is not a happy little camper.

Hospital Appointments

by ckellyComment Published at 21:3321:330 comments0 comments40 Visits40 VisitsReport

I am trying to schedule a hospital appointment for my first doctor checkup (at the hospital - i have been seeing my local GP). Because i work full time, i weant to try to get an appointment that will outside of work hours, however the hospital only does appointments from 9am to 3pm. I have asked to have a first thing in the morning appointment and the first they can offer me is 10am, they only offer morning appointments on tow days a week and even though they take appointments from 9am, the doctors dont usually arrive untilll 9.30am.
I have been having regular appointments with my doctor, and ultrasounds and i know my baby is in good health, but i really do feel as though the hospital dont give a rats **** for working mothers. They are trying to make me take the antinatal classes (even though this is my second child and i never took them with my first) which they only offer during the week (or i can pay for them on Saturday mornings - which i cant afford).
My work is not overly happy I am pregnant and is making my life a little hard at the moment (i am not allowed time off for doctors appointment, if i do it has to be unpaid or i have to take annual leave - there isnt anything worng with that except I cant afford not to be paid and i have not annual leave.
The hospital staff was quite rude to me when i told them that i couldnt make a particular mrning because of a work commitment and coulnt understand why i would take unpaid time off.  Once this baby is born we are going to struggle even more financially, and i cant afford to loss my job (which is on the cards if i take any more time off).
Just wanted to have a winge.
