When did working become hard during pregnancy?

Question

I am a vet tech. I am on my feet 99% of my 10 hour shifts. I am constantly getting up and down off the floor. And I am STRUGGLING. I am currently 26 weeks and want to work until the bitter end so I can keep accruing PTO. My boss is very accommodating and plans to put me on the front desk in 2 weeks but I don’t even know if I can make it another 2 weeks. I have to hold onto things to get off the floor. I am BURNING UP constantly and have an ice pack nearby for my head. My belly is getting in the way of everything. When did work become hard for y’all?

Answer

I’m worried about this because I’m a cook and I’m on my feet all day every day. I’m only in my first trimester but the fatigue and morning sickness is already making it really difficult. I can’t imagine how it’s going to be when I’m huge.

Answer

I am also a Vet Tech. A bunch of techs worked until the end
 It became uncomfortable for them around 7 months. Some were only able to draw blood from cats and small dogs on the table. Some other could only do nails, ear cleanings, and anal sac expressions on the exam table. Please do not restrain!!!! Please hop on the opportunity to work up front. Some of the girls got really burnt towards the end of the day in the 3rd trimester. Good luck be blessed.

Answer

I’m a shift supervisor at Starbucks and I’ve been on light duty since about 25 weeks. I’m now to the point where I basically just stand there now at 33 weeks and hope I don’t drop anything because I can barely breath and anything that requires bending or reaching too far is about impossible. But I’m going to keep working until 37 or 38 weeks even though I’m exhausted
