When did you stop working?

Question

I work in a factory pushing 200lb and lifting up to 50 in a 90+° factory. I don't want to be a baby about being pregnant I'm just worried.

Answer

Your work needs to put you on restricted duty. If you miscarry, they're liable for the life of your child. Make sure they know you're pregnant.

Answer

If that's how HR speaks to you, you might wanna have a witness in future meetings. At least doument date, time, and what was discussed/said.

Here's what EEOC says:

When you get bigger are you gonna be able to still lift 50 pounds? Could you fall? What about the 90 degree temp? I'd be concerned about that. The heat could take a toll on you. Surely there is someone else you can go to or file a formal grievance.

My job consists of desk work and field work. I have to drive to certain entities and when I'm there walk and stand. I get to sit but not always. I hope when i get too big that I'm uncomfortable able they start accommodating my work load and letting me do things at the office. My drive to these places vary. My office is 15-20 min from my home. An entity can be 15 min to 2 hours away.

Answer

If you've been doing it and you're body is used to it then you should be ok but if it were me I would be asked to be put on light duty (your doctor will gladly write you a note) so that you are not putting strain on your body and risking harm to the baby. Then I would just work up until you feel comfortable depending on your maternity leave situation. No matter what your health and baby's health and wellbeing are more important then you job and I'm sure your doctor will write you a note of you need it. Good luck and take care!
