[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1863174, member: 451727"] Hi Soapy, well I would begin with a meeting with your Occ Health dept. I know being type 1 in itself is not necessarily an 'illness' that means you can't work shifts, but when you add a troublesome pregnancy into the mix it become s a serious health issue for you and the baby when shifts of 14 hours are contributing to your erratic glucose levels! You can bet that they would be moaning about other nurses having to take up the flack and lack of staff etc in order to accommodate you but that is THEIR problem, not yours. I think you need to be very firm and you could probably back it up with a letter from your Doctor advising you to do fewer hours or a different shift pattern on a temporary basis until things improve. I can assure you that nothing will happen and you will get fobbed off if you are not proactive in this, get it all written down, get that meeting booked in, get your Doctor on board. It is hard enough coping with work and pregnancies at the best of times never mind when you have a SERIOUS health condition that affects you AND your baby. x [/QUOTE]
