Is work getting to be to much?

Question

I’m 27 weeks and I’m super exhausted. Is anyone else finding them selves overly tired at work? When should I start maternity leave?

Answer

Luckily I sit at a desk most of the day so it’s more relaxing than being home. And home I move a lot more...chores and a 2 year old 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Work is becoming harder for me but more so because of the hip and back pain. I have EDS so my high risk doctor said he will be putting me out early. Looking like I’ll be going out at 32 weeks.

Answer

Have you had your iron levels checked?

Answer

I'm 27 weeks, I've started the waddle and most tasks take around double the time they used to. I'm also starting to feel sleepier. My maternity leave starts mid August but I've got some holiday at work I'm gonna take so I'll be leaving at the beginning of August instead 🙌🏽 just gotta get through the next month and a half 😭🤞🏽

Answer

Yes! 27.5 weeks here and my job is physically and mentally exhausting. I drive all day and I am up and down off floors playing with toddlers. I have a high risk pregnancy too for multiple reasons. I am so over it. I tried reducing my hours but my boss isn't budging and one of the midwives at my OB practice said she couldn't write me out on disability - I'm not asking for that, I just want a reduced schedule! For these reasons, I am planning on going out at 36 weeks, but would love to go sooner if I could. I don't think there is any way I could go past 36 weeks with the issues I've been having and the nature of my job. GL to you!

Answer

I’m always exhausted but my iron levels are extremely low and I’m going thro iron infusions now, so hopefully my energy levels come up! But my last day of work will be August 15th, I’m due Sept 4th hopeful for an August baby.

Answer

Ima realtor but it’s getting difficult driving around showing people houses... I don’t even walk through the house with them. Most of my job is paperwork though so it’s not too bad but yes I would much like to sit home and just nest and figure out nursery and buy baby clothes (online) and eat cheeseburgers and ice cream 😃. 
I’m 26w 5d

Answer

I’m on my feet all day for at least 8 hours then come home to do chores and I also have a 4 year old so days off are not really relaxing. My iron levels are fine. My back kills though 😩
