Feeling Guilty .. Advice pleaseee.
So this pregnancy hasn’t exactly been the smoothest but I’ve been roughing it out. I’ll be 39 weeks on Sunday and I’m exhaustedddddd. Everything is getting harder. Cooking, cleaning, taking care of my 6 yr old and DEFINITELY work !! I’m an RN on a Neuro floor (which is a tough floor by the way) and at this point it’s just tiring standing for long periods of time passing meds, helping patients to the bathroom, and staying awake from 7pm-7:30 am or really until 8:30 which is the time I get home. I don’t have much PTO time because when I was 4 months I ended up with the flu and then pneumonia and had to be out of work for 32 days. So I was trying to work until I deliver to maximize my time off and save what little pto that I could. But I just don’t feel up to it and it’s making me feel guilty. I’m suppose to work tomorrow night but I really want to call out. I’m scheduled to get a membrane sweep done Monday and I’m also scheduled to work that night as well. I doubt I’ll feel comfortable going after the sweep as well so I’m debating if I should just go out on my leave now. Either way my physician says they will induce me a day or two after my due date which is the 28th. I wanna be a trooper so bad and just keep working but I know my body is telling me to sit down and rest 😞. Plus being home relaxing and just enjoying this last week and a half with my fiancé and son before baby comes would be nice. Any advice on what I should do ?! Hubby thinks I should have been done working once I hit 38 weeks so he’s no help .
