what hours should I be working while pregnant?

Question

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I'm working 44 hours a week at the moment. I've tried to get my work to put them down but they said they've done as much as they can (used to work 50+). I'm struggling at work I'm so tired. What do I do? 
Edit: forgot to mention I work in a very busy buffet restaurant, I have to stand the whole time.

Answer

I worked 40 hours a week until 40 weeks. Unless your dr says you shouldnt be for health reasons then you should be okay to continue your hours

Answer

I worked 60+ hours a week as a nanny for 2 year old triplets and a 5 year old, anyone who has 1 two year old let alone 3 knows I never had a chance to sit down 😂 I worked up until 10 weeks, but the morning sickness and fatigue got the best of me. Now I'm 35 weeks and I am a stay at home human incubator and will be a SAHM when baby is born.

Answer

I'm an ER nurse working 12 HR shifts still at 38+2. You should be fine working 44 hrs a week

Answer

When I was 6 weeks I still worked 60 hours in one week. I'm a teacher and it's difficult to just stop working. Especially when it's homecoming and you have to help with the after school events. I noticed that the less I worked the more tired I became. If I have time to lay down, that's all I will do and nothing will get done. It's a struggle to be tired all the time. I'm not sure if this helped at all. I think it just turned into babbling.

Answer

I work 40 hours in 4 days and have 3 days off. I'm getting to the point where I can't handle it and I'm so tired by halfway through my second shift. But, I can't afford to cut my hours right now if I want to be able to stay home with baby for any amount of time. Push through, unless you start having early labor or anything like that your fine to work.

Answer

oh gosh can you look for another job sounds extremely demanding and stressful

Answer

Unless your doctor says anything or you're really struggling, you can work any hours they give you

Answer

Also just to add this ask your doctor about starting b12 it will help you out with energy.

Answer

Every pregnancy is different. Work the hours that are most comfortable for you or talk to your dr if you have concerns. I worked full time up until 5 months then switched to part time because that's what my body needed. I'm 7.5 months now and still averaging 30-35 hours a week in retail.

Every person is different though. What work for me may not be the answer for you

Answer

I worked as a waitress when I was 6 weeks all the way to 22 weeks
