Back to work

Hello guys, just last month I decided to go back to work. Just for your information, I got pregnant last year and because of the increasing number of covid cases here in our country. I decided to resign and just stay at home with my eldest child. So basically, my husband is the only one working. Now that my second child is 4 months old (going 5 months) I decided to go back to work but only parttime with flexible working hours as long as arranged with my boss ahead of time. The company requires medical exam including swab test before I can physically report to duty. My swab schedule will be next week. I am not afraid on the result because I don't feel any symptoms, but I am more scared of the procedure itself. I just do not know how it feels like to get swabbed. Hope it will not be as painful as I expect it to be. Wish me luck guys.

I don't need to do the swap test yet and don't know when will I need to. I heard a lot of stories regarding the swap test, but it's best not to share with you. Your experience might going to be different from them, who knows. Best of luck at the swap test!

Good luck to your swab test, as well as on your new job. What will your new job be? You are fortunate to be able to secure a job in this difficult time.

It's an office work. Thank you. I agree, some people lost their jobs and lucky for someone like me, I got hired even if its just parttime.

I think you will be fine. The swab testing procedure is not that complicated.

I don't know about the other, but my husband got swab test once. He said it wasn't hurt as people said, just itchy. But maybe it's different for other people. Good luck on your job. Keep healthy and stay safe..

Getting Swabbed is no big deal. But you will feel the irritation and if you are sensitive you will probably sneeze right there. But your child is only 4 months , Why can't you postpone work until he is a little more grown up?
