[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Temp care is not hard to hard to find at all.  It can be expensive, but it is quite easy to do.

And I think the ill will directed at OP is completely inappropriate.  It is not her fault that her employee is no longer able to do the job and OP is not wanting to have to fire her.

But the nanny can't do this work - it would put her at risk.  It would also be potentially dangerous and harmful to OP's kids.

It is entirely possible to have a tough situation that is no one's fault.[/quote]

Agree with this completely.  It's a really unfortunate situation but if OPs nanny can't pick up the children she can't possibly do the job.  For those of you condemning OP, maybe you could try giving her some actual advice.  She came here looking for a solution because she wants to be fair to the nanny.

I really think your nanny should have thought of some ideas for how to make this work before coming to you, it isn't fair for her to put it all on you.

I know this isn't what you asked but on a slightly related note I just had my 3rd DC and had TONS of Braxton-Hicks throughout the pregnancy (starting around 20 weeks) and was even admitted to the hospital briefly for IV fluids when they got more intense.  I have 2 other children under 3 and there was no way I could avoid picking them up etc and my OB told me I absolutely didn't need to avoid it.  He said some people just have a more sensitive uterus and that's why I had so many contractions but it wasn't going to put me into early labor.  I continued to have a lot of contractions but didn't go into actual labor until after my due date.  Since I know I may get attacked for this I want to be clear, I'm not saying OPs nanny shouldn't listen to her OB and OP should respect what the OB says.[/quote]
