What is the name of your state? NY
I am currently 6 months pregnant. About 6 weeks ago I was admitted into the hospital with a pedunculated fibroid measuring 1/2 the size of my uterus. My doctor put me on bed rest until further notice. I have been going for ultrasounds every two weeks and the size of the fibroid has not changed. If I drive or sit for long periods of time my uterus starts contracting because of the pain and pressure of the fibroid. I commute 45 minutes one way to work...and then sit for 8 hours working...I work in a corporate environment. Cigna Short Term Disability just called me to tell me that they do not think they can approve my STD claim because they do not understand why I can't work. I explained to her that I am pregnant and responsible for the life of my child...and I will follow my dr's advice because he obviously told me to stop working for a reason. Is there anything I can do?
