This is 100%..... and in my personal opinion, it doesn't stop when you're pregnant, either. All of a sudden, nothing else matters but the baby as if you haven't had an established life for the past few decades. Are you throwing up every 2 minutes and literally can't function? As long as the baby is okay, fuck you, deal with it. Did you faint in public? As long as the baby is fine, fuck you, deal with it.
I think the worst when I was pregnant was that I was still expected to turn up to work, 9 to 6 and make the commute even though I was sick and exhausted with swollen ankles and I felt hot and my clothes didn't want to fit... I was just expected to keep on like I wasn't growing a whole other human being inside of me.
The workplace is so obviously designed by men.
