Pregnant and caregiving.

Kasey

Hello! So I’m a Direct Care Aid at an Assisted Living and I do a lot of heavy lifting I’m also 8 wks and 4 days pregnant, everyone says I need to stop lifting by myself but I’m always on the floor by myself so I have no choice, my residents that I lift are no more than 130 pounds but I’m so scared of hurting my baby or myself. After lifting yesterday, my back started hurting so bad. Are any of you CNA’s/caregivers? Like what do y’all do to help you at work.
