More Pinuccia’s non work
On Friday Pinuccia had one of her regular check-ups with the gynaecologist. Everything is still going fine, but she was a bit surprised when the gynaecologist decided that she had an “at risk pregnancy”, partly because of an iron deficiency, partly because she is tired, and partly because she has an irregular work changing every few days. Personally, I think the gynaecologist was pretty generous: the pregnancy is going as well as it did with Stefania, and her lack of iron and tiredness is the same as that of almost all pregnant women I know. But we knew this gynaecologist is more personal and less ‘precise’ than the one Pinuccia had with Stefania, which was why Pinuccia changed gynaecologist. What all this means in theory is that Pinuccia will not have to work for the rest of the pregnancy, with her employer paying 80% of her normal salary. It is a bit more complicated than this however, because Pinuccia is a bit in limbo at the moment. First of all, the “at risk pregnancy” state still has to be approved by the government work inspectorate. Secondly, her current job actually finished last Friday, and she will not be offered another job if she is “at risk”. So in the next few days we’ll find out how it will actually work out.
