ok or too risky?😩

Question

I'm 5 weeks 3 days, my job is really long hours from 6am till 10pm.. I only have like 1 hour and half break. I'm constantly standing and walking to patients houses as I'm a health care assistant in people's homes, so I'm not getting proper meals just like a sandwich or something, no rest and 5 hours sleep, do you think this is a big risk to mine and my baby's health? I would rather quit my job and find another rather than risk my pregnancy as I have weight problems anyway (under weight) what would you do?😔

Answer

I really can't speak for what it will do for your/baby's health, but there are probably going to be days when you feel like you are way too exhausted to work those hours. I'm assuming you only work a few days a week with those long hours? If so, at least you would be able to catch up on rest, but it's still going to suck.

Answer

Carry plenty of snacks and stay hydrated and all should be fine 😊. The long hours will become a struggle some days with the fatigue, I am 15 weeks pregnant and a team leader in the care industry and somedays I am like a walking zombie lol!

Answer

I would say eventually it would become a problem. I couldn't work like that, sorry. I work at a call center and it works just fine for me! Sitting on the phone for only 5-7 hours. Nice break time. I can prop my feet up if I want too. I can bring pillows for my back. I can get up and walk/walk to the bathroom, whenever. It's seriously the best! And I usually bring my own lunch or order. I am 24 weeks BUT you definitely should find something else before you get further along!
