How many work a job while pregnant?

Question

I'm stressing about if I should get a job while I'm pregnant with my first child. Lots of people are telling me to and many also say I shouldn't need to. I have a husband that supports financially and I'm full with anxiety over this.

Answer

Having a job will make time go by faster. Also you will be earning a little extra money. I'd say go for it.

Answer

I had just moved to a new area and left my old job right before getting pregnant as well. I'm 25 weeks today and just had a promising job interview yesterday. My BF supports us financially but I wanna contribute as much as I can before the baby comes & also get out of the house and be more active :)

Answer

What were you doing before you got pregnant? I personally couldn't sit home all day and I love making my own money and contributing to our house.

Answer

Even just a part time job would be good! Just to keep you busy & help time fly!

Answer

I work part time and go to graduate school full time, while my husband works full time.  I think you should talk to your husband and figure out what works best for your family. 😉

Answer

I'm an ER veterinary technician I work around 75 hours a week! I love working and my job. My passion, although being pregnant and having fatigue without caffeine is making it hard to stay awake the whole day!

Answer

I actually babysit full time making $3000 a month within my apartment complex and it really helps out! My husband pays all the bills and after we put money in our tax savings from each of his paychecks its nice to have that extra money for family trips to the zoo or museum :)

Answer

Everyone is going to have opinions about this. My mother used to nag me constantly about the same thing and it is definitely super stressful. The best thing for you to do is whatever you want to do. You're in a great situation and there's no reason to stress yourself out with a job if you're not interested in having one. If you feel the need to keep yourself busy then you could always try volunteering. I volunteer at a women's pregnancy clinic and it works out perfectly because I can choose my hours and when I leave to have the baby I'm not really leaving an employer hanging.

Answer

I say if u don't have to go to work then don't. I was lucky enough to beable to quiet my job when I got pregnant because my husband could support us an I spent this first 3 years of my daughters life being a stay at home mom and it is awesome. Now I'm pregnant with my second an I can't quit my job because we have a new car with $450 car payment so it will be a lot harder this time

Answer

I'm a caregiver for developmental disabled individuals, super stressful! I work 40-50 hrs a week. They have modified my activity, so I work more on appointments and paperwork then moving bed ridden clients, but I still help bathe, clean and change individuals sometimes...haha, my doc keeps trying to convince me that I need to stop grocery shopping and moving clients, but hey you got the get stuff done
