Who's still working & pregnant?

Question

So today was my first day back as a teacher we only had a month off from the children and in the course of that month we had distance training and after that we had to get the rooms together so not really a break! So today was so horrible for me and frustrating because my body can't handle it no more and I got upset because I'm not use to not helping my co-teacher and not doing my part I think I pushed myself to far. I'm exhausted 😩 I think leave is in my future sooner than I thought.

Answer

I am so sorry to hear you are struggling!
I am a special education teacher and I worked until I went into labor with my first. I'm now 13w with my second. I'll work up to birth again because the time home with baby is so precious.
My advice is to take it easy. Obviously don't shirk your duties-- but sit with you feet up when you can (my students would literally bring me a chair if they thought I needed it haha). Drink lots of water and get some help at home with your housework. Feel better! You're almost there.

Answer

I'm 29 weeks and am a personal carer.  At the start of my pregnancy I knew I'd have issues with lifting and moving clients etc but had no idea it'd be THIS hard.  I begged my doctor to give me a medical certificate to be put on light duties and have cut my hours right down.  My leave starts at 36 weeks. Most days I cry over the thought of having to go to work because I am so damn exhausted!

Answer

I was a nanny for four children 12 hours a day five days a week and had to leave because I was so exhausted and it was just hard on my pregnant body. Now I walk dogs on rover and still make good money and am sooo much happier and way less stressed.

Answer

I don't have the support to work up until I go into labor. My athletic coordinator knows I'm pregnant & knew last school year, yet has me coaching 3 sports. I'm sorta stressed about it because basketball is so demanding. I am really considering taking 2 weeks before my due date. If it wasn't for that I'd work up to my due date.

Answer

I'm a teacher at 33+2 and have been back a few weeks. First two days were brutal, then it got better. Now it's normal!

Answer

I am a teacher too.  I teach college.  Today was the first day back.  I was absolutely miserable the last few weeks prepping for my courses while having a sinus infectionI and being 7 weeks and 5 days.  Not sure how I am going to do it.

Answer

I am a paraeducator, and we just got back to school, too. I am 22 weeks, and bathroom trips are much more frequent, and sometimes almost have to happen immediately, due to the baby shifting or kicking the bladder. Also, my feet are killing me, and I can't put insole in my dress shoes, so I guess it is time to go shoe shopping. 😣
