Just had to turn down a promotion
I want a baby so much and was over the moon when I got BFP! But typical of my luck I have just been offered a job promotion to start in January.
It was the area of teaching that I always wanted to get into and very difficult to get into. I have had complications so far and don't even know if this pregnancy is going to last but felt I couldn't mislead my headteacher so told him my situation. As I thought it basically means I won't be able to do it as if this PG works out I'd be due end of Jan. they can't hold job for me as school closing and reopening which will mean new staff structure in 2 years.
Am so fed up but just have to hold on to thought could have baby by then instead.

If they have offered you the post, dont they have to stick by it regardless of you being pregnant?? Isnt it discrimination if they take it off you because you are pregnant?
I knew as soon as I was asked that I wouldn't be able to do it !
The worst thing was that I hadn't told anyone about the pregnancy as very early days and have had complications and was kinda forced to do so. I asked for it to be confidential but I know how things get round this place. i did tell the head about my situation and the fact that had mc earlier in year (was very hard as other colleague pregnant too!) -I just hope he sticks to this!
