I am annoyed with those that say that a pregnancy shouldn’t slow you down and to continue as normal. 23 weeks with my first after a early loss at 6 weeks. I’ve had to slow down due to pain and cramping caused by prolonged standing and I am also high risk for preterm labor. Everybody experience pregnancies different and I’ve had someone (a coworker) tell me that I am exaggerating that she had 3 kids and they carried on through their pregnancy as normal. I’ve had to make changes and I have restrictions at work because I am scared of losing my baby and the doctor agreed that I shouldn’t be standing too long. Just because some people are able to have pregnancies with no problems it doesn’t mean everyone is the same I am not going to put my baby’s health at risk because they think I am exaggerating. To me week and day that goes by it’s a blessing I just want to protect my baby any way possible.
