Whiny Wednesday: Work Pregnancies

September 26, 2018

It’s Whiny Wednesday, your chance to gripe about the issues you’re dealing with this week. This week’s suggested topic is one we’ve all had to deal with:

 An over-abundance of work pregnancies

 I can relate to this one. When I was trying to conceive, I managed a small department of about eight people. One year we had three simultaneous pregnancies…and none of them was mine.

Whine away!

    And looks like they all agree on getting pregnant at the same time…
    It’s unfair.

    Yep, currently one person pregnant in my team who has, basically since conception, gone on interminably about her pregnancy, scan, ante natal etc etc. She’s not even due til March next year. Even all these years on it still hurts. I’d have given anything to even get pregnant.

    I’ve had an explosion of babies and pregnancies just in my family. In one year there has been 5, 2 sisters and two sister in laws. I’m still here not pregnant and feeling completely irrelevant.

    When there are several at the same time, all the comments of “must be something in the water” make me want to rage.
