Post Jobs on the ground while expecting...

So....

I have just recently got the good news that I will be a mommy - YAY!
By nature I would tend to keep the secret from the workplace for a while - until the risk of early complications is very low - but it's not possible as our Flying Crew Orders require me to tell BA straight away.
It's a whirlwind of emotions. Especially good, but the fact that I won't be flying for many months is not making me too happy!!!
I cannot imagine myself "working" (or pretending to) on the ground doing some silly admin task that doesn't use my brain and makes me bored!!!

I have an interview with BA crew service centre in a few days' time to see what's available and what kind of work routine they expect me to do. I am dreading it!!
Thank god we don't have the staff shop anymore...so that's off the table.

Anybody here found herself in a similar situation? Or maybe grounded for ear/other health problems? What did you do? Did you enjoy it? Any info?

It might be the hormones going crazy already but I am really dreading it more than the all-day sickness which has already started and the pain of labour!!

Any advice or previous experience will be happily received (I promise I won't burst into tears if I don't like what you're saying)

Thank you!

FBW
