I need opinions. I'm 32 weeks today, with an extremely difficult (although not technically complicated) pregnancy. I have to time my contractions several times a week, because my Braxton hicks tend to be intense and regular. I also have low back pain daily, that comes and goes. My son is on a nerve (or something) that causes extreme pain and pressure whenever I'm standing/moving. I'm currently in the process of switching doctors, because my last was just a nightmare. I am a caregiver for adults with disabilities, and my job is physically and mentally exhausting. I've already cut down to part time, but its still so hard! Should I start my leave early? what would you all do? my HR department is very flexible and understanding, so allotted time is not an issue. thank you in advance for your thoughts!
