I'm a hair stylist and taking my maternity leave ..3 weeks before my due date. my coworker just shared w me today she worked a double on her due date. that seems insane to me....between my neck/back pain.. carpal tunnel/ swollen feet and constant headaches/ not being able sleep working at 40 weeks on my feet w an extra 30/40 lb weight on my belly just seems like torture. I understand sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. anyone else work long hours on feet and are taking off before due date or are you working until your water breaks??? or Im I just a huge wimp?
