Feeling guilt/shame
I started my mat leave early because I work in a prison (literally, with prisoners lol) and they have no AC, so the classes I’d be teaching in were over 100 degrees and I was not going to continue subjecting myself to that in my third trimester. So here I am, 32 weeks, feeling guilty not going to a job. I’m of course making the time worth it, getting the babies stuff ready, errands, working out, making sure I am as ready as I can be. But the GUILT!!!! I’ve worked since I was 15 so it just feels so strange not “providing”!

I’ve worked since I could work and I’m still a bit upset about leaving work. But I’m high risk and 28 weeks tomorrow and plan to go on mat start of September. I think it’s a bit normal to feel guilty.
YESSSS IM PROUD OF YOU FOR USING YOUR BENEFITS TO SERVE YOU!
I cannot believe they don’t have AC how is that legal?! I don’t blame you one bit you did the right thing but wow that should be addressed I cannot imagine

Finances have been tight for me and my husband lately, so I'm feeling similarly. It's hard not being able to contribute to the finances, especially when we used to be more comfortable.
