5 Weeks And 2Days Preg

[phleb]

Would you tell the boss so soon due to job risk as phlebotomist?

[pixie373]

Congratulations. Yes, i would, to be safe.

[craft1948]

No I'd wait until 12 weeks..............

[phleb]

Thank you I have waited for this too long and now am very anxious about miscarriage

[ummmm]

No.

What risk is there?

[sunny-dave]

What's the specific risk?

[ummmm]

Risk from the job I meant.

Congrats btw....

[Peter Pedant]

erm what risk ?

Do phlebz die early from disgusting diseases they catch from their clients ?

[pixie373]

Maybe a needlestick injury, which could pass on many different diseases. I would be extra-careful too.

[ummmm]

And what difference would telling them make? That's her job...

[Mamyalynne]

Congratulations Phleb.

Would the same not apply to many who work in the medical profession ? Can they all be relocated to a role which is devoid of sharps?

[pixie373]

It depends what vaccinations she has had/may need. She may be moved to,another department. She needs to speak to her boss to find out

[Mamyalynne]

Ah with you , in case the vaccinations are not up to date - in that case tell the boss.

[pixie373]

Yes, mamya. That is exactly what they've done in Nursing homes I've worked in. (scared of being sued)

[phleb]

I work on wards so worried about chicken pox shingles etc I think ur right I should wait

[Peter Pedant]

If you have not had chickenpox...... I would ring occy - health tomorrow

[sherrardk]

If someone has got chicken pox, etc, wouldn't they be isolated from the other patients? Congratulations though, x

[pixie373]

That's why her boss needs to know...

[phleb]

They are isolated but I have to go in to take their blood thats my job. Im just being daft I think

[phleb]

[ummmm]
