I’m 21 wks pregnant and was just put on restriction not to lift more than 30 lbs. Since this happened I was informed by my boss she can’t allow me to work with a weight restriction because there isn’t “light work”.

I work in a nursing home as a CNA so there’s absolutely no way I can work since 95% of my job is lifting/transferring/turning full grown people.

Now I’m not sure how I’m gonna make money because this kind of work is all I’ve done for the past 3 years. I’m already struggling financially and feel hopeless.

I’ve even considered finding my baby a family because I feel like I won’t be good enough but I just can’t bring myself to actually do it. I already am attached/in love and eager to meet my baby.

Is this selfish of me? Am I doing the wrong thing by keeping my baby?

No bashing please 😞

Update for those saying I should still be able to work this was her response....
