Am I selfish?

Question

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....

Answer

No you're not wrong because you're experiencing a temporary problem. Adoption doesn't make sense to me to resolve a temporary problem. Once baby is here, you can go back to work. Or if it's an issue like placenta previa, once the placenta moves up, you may be able to lift again. Is there something you can do in the meanwhile to make money? Maybe be an in home companion for an elderly person  (not heavy lifting but help him or her with chores, errands, meals etc), nanny, housecleaning etc. It sounds like you have good skills, you just need a different work environment right now.

Answer

it is not selfish to want to raise your own child. I don't know what to do in ur situation but for one thing I do know is that if I was in ur situation I will still keep my child.

Answer

You’re just going through a hard time right now, I don’t think you’re being selfish by wanting your baby ❤️

Answer

I was a CNA for 10 yrs before I became a nurse and there’s no reason why you couldn’t do 2 people lifts, or take care of the people that need only minimal help transferring. Not sure it’s ok that she’s telling you you can’t work I’d really look into that

Answer

I used to work in a nursing home as a CNA and was on light duty for a whole year so I do know that there is light work that you can do. I used to stock briefs, clean closets, help with the laundry, help with schedules, help with charting, clipping nails, cleaning dentures, going with the residents to doctors appointments, cleaning wheelchairs. There is TON of light work that you can do don't let your boss tell you that there's no light work.

Answer

they don't have light work I guess because pregnancy isn't a disability,  which I feel is completely crap. however you can get a two person assist to help.  or maybe ask can u work in the kitchen or laundry. trust me their is light duty they just don't wanna consider it.  I'd speak to HR. they can accommodate you even if light duty is available.

Answer

you can do your job without lifting. a Pt. needs more than only lifting. I work in a lab and I have to do be delivering specimens and doing lifting. my doctor sent a letter saying no more than 20 pounds and no long walking. my boss just put me to do my job without being walking and lifting. in your job they have to follow the doctors instruccions. you can do others thing without lifting.
