happyjiokzai, I agree that it can be rather boring without something to do, especially the long afternoon hours! I've been on hospitalisation leave for 3 weeks and can't wait to try going back to work for a little while at a time. It's true that you need a supportive work environment and I agree that it's good to talk to the boss about lighter workloads and different arrangements. Perhaps some work from home would be good for you? Let us know how it goes!Hi there, hang in there. Depending on the culture of your work place and how open you are with your boss, it maybe good to talk to your boss about your situation. It will at least explain the mood swings and work absenses (touch wood!) and he/she maybe more sympathetic. They may also start reshuffling your work arrangements around to make way for your maternity leave etc. In my opinion it's always good to be open about your situation. If they are not sympathetic then you could then start to consider looking out or resting at home (which trust me can get pretty boring after awhile!)
