should i feel guilty?...

that i didnt go into the city for work today? i tend to feel guilty for not making it in....but i guess at 32 w. with all this crappy weather...better to be safe....

how is it outside??

Re: should i feel guilty?...

You shouldn't feel guilty because baby comes first!!!! But I totally get you I feel guilty every time I call in sick or out due to weather conditions!!! DH keeps yelling at me to F everything and stay home but I'm just not that kind of laid back employee...

Re: should i feel guilty?...

don't feel guilty at all! I live in the city, so I went to work, but I literally shuffled my way in across the ice, it was as if I was ice skating.

Re: should i feel guilty?...

i always feel guilty when i dont go into work, no matter what reason. but in the end, i know my safety and the baby's safety is way more important than work.

Re: should i feel guilty?...

Absolutely not! I'm 36 weeks, took off yesterday for a dr's appt and took off today too!

Re: should i feel guilty?...

No - if you have the time and you don't have a major deadline or something, I don't see the big deal -

Re: should i feel guilty?...

No way!!! The only reason I dragged myself in at 20 weeks is because I have a pretty big meeting this afternoon.

I did come in late though. The trains were running on a weekend schedule and when I tried to get on an 8am train, it was jammed pack. There was NO WAY I was squeezing in. DH and I went and had breakfast and I waited forthe morning rush to subside.

You are lucky and smart for staying home. It's such a gross mess here. I would never have bothered if it weren't for this meeting, and I'm also the type to feel guilty about not making it in.

Re: should i feel guilty?...

no worries, it was defiinitly icy, I only went in because I can work from our deer park office which is about 15 mins rather then 45 from home

Re: should i feel guilty?...

Don't feel guilty! If you take public transit, they are working on a weekend schedule, so it would have taken FOREVER to get in and to get home! I'm sure your boss understands!

Re: should i feel guilty?...

It's super slippery outside! I'm also 32 weeks.

Re: should i feel guilty?...

thanks ladies....i feel a lil better

Re: should i feel guilty?...

i didnt go in to the city today either. i tried around 10am and as soon as DH and i walked outside he was like "NOPE youre not going. you have a more important job, to take care of ." I argued him a little cause I'm usually not a puss when it comes to weather. I keep having to remind myself that comes first although I tend to think if i was to fall I would contort ANY possible way to not injur . But i suppose its better to not have to deal with that at all.. so I'm working from home.

Re: should i feel guilty?...

no, don't feel bad at all.

I'm only 14.5 weeks and I fell on the ice while holding my toddler this morning. I literally busted my *** in a bush to get here and some people didn't even show up.

Re: should i feel guilty?...

Don't feel guilty, I'm sure there are people who didn't go in today who aren't pregnant. Your safety comes first!!

Re: should i feel guilty?...

you made a good decision... i was walking to the subway and turned around b/c the sidewalks weren't shoveled and i didn't want to fall down.

Re: should i feel guilty?...

I feel slightly guilty when I stay home but at the same time I really dont want to risk slipping and getting hurt out there.

Re: should i feel guilty?...

I actually felt guilty for going in and putting and myself in danger. I'm trying to bank as many days as I could before maternity but some things are not worth it- luckily DH drove me and walked me all the way to my school building but still...
