I can’t do it anymore...

That’s it. I’m waving the white flag. I’m done trying, I’m too exhausted now ... everyone warned me, but I thought I could do it . I went from working swing shift on night shift (7pm-7am) , to working 6 days a week now . I work in a factory, so it’s hotter than hell. I do heavy lifting, and I’m on my feet a lot of the time.

I thought that being on my feet and walking would help with delivery (what I was told) , but it’s not even worth it anymore . Im making around $800-$1,000 a week , but it’s definitely getting to be too much . One of our employees will be out until September 8th and I’m due in September 26th . She’s been out since early July . At first she said that she will be back in the beginning of August. Then she changed it and said she will be back in SEPTEMBER. I will only have about 2 weeks to try and get back to my regular night shift schedule if she comes back that late. Then she told another coworker that she doesn’t know if she will be back in time for me to take maternity leave .

I’m sorry but I can’t do this new schedule anymore . It’s draining me . I’m 32w4d. And I’m finally starting to feel like it . Everything is sore, and I’m always tired. I’m drained . I only get one off day per week, and this past week I couldn’t take it because another employee took vacation so I had to work on my only off day . I haven’t had an off day since 2 fridays ago. I’m used to working night shift on swing shift and having 2-3 off days per week but this is something I don’t think I can continue to do . Some days, I work day shift for 12 hours and some days I work night shift for 12 hours. Most days, I just work 8 hours from 3pm-11pm. But it’s hard having to get up at 2pm everyday when I’m used to getting up at 5pm.

Working 3pm-11pm takes up my ENTIRE day. And on my off days, I don’t get to relax because I’m having to catch up on stuff I couldn’t do throughout the week . Just the other day, I had to work 3pm-11pm, then turn around and work day shift from 7am-7pm. I have to get up at 5 if I wanna be there on time. I literally get ZERO rest now. I can’t even enjoy the rest of my pregnancy because I’m always at work. My sleep schedule is messed up because of the transition . I can’t do this anymore, I’m not even going to try and Impress the managers . I give up 😫
