How much work is too much work?

Question

Just curious what you all think. I've sent an inquiry to my doctor too. 
I have a super demanding job and for the past month have been working anywhere from 55 - 85 hrs a week 😕 
I'm a screen printer and this is the height of our busy season with all kinds of folks wanting their shirts for memorial day, summer fun and now the 4th of July.
This is what my body is used to but my fiancé is kind of mad that i've been working so much. I'm 6 weeks 5 days along and he says that's way to much.
Other than being tired I feel fine and haven't had any problems. I'm not trying to work until something goes wrong by any means. I was just wondering if I can  keep working like I usually do. It'll only be about another week of this craziness then it'll go back to around a normalish 40 hr work week.

Answer

Doctors work pregnant 80-100 hours a week on their feet 🤷🏻‍♀️ just listen to your body if you’re not in pain you should be fine.

Answer

It's not too much in terms of the baby's safety, more what you can tolerate. If you're feeling fine, you should be fine if you're hydrated and eating okay. My concern is that most women's morning sickness and first trimester  fatigue starts around 8 weeks, so you'll have to see how you're doing in a couple of weeks. Also, are you okay with your marriage with working so much? I wouldn't be okay with my husband working so much. So if it bothers you, you may need to set boundaries after the holiday for your well being.

Answer

I worked 45+ hours all the way up until 7 months pregnant. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable. As long as you’re not lifting too much weight or pushing yourself too hard then you’re fine. You go girl! ❤️
