Working Mamas

When did you know that it was time to stop working and go on leave? I originally was going to go at 38 weeks (I’ll be 36 weeks on Friday!) but I am just absolutely exhausted. I work on my feet a whole 8 hours and sometimes over, constantly having to either bend and move around a lot or stand at the window and pay orders out. The standing alone kills my back, hips and legs and I’m often in a lot of pain whenever I come home. I’ve explained to them that I need to be moving and to keep me where I can move but that can’t and doesn’t always happen. I’ve tried cutting back my hours a tad but that doesn’t really help either.. but I’ll feel really guilty for not working as long as I can and toughing it out. I really want to go ahead and go now but I also don’t 😅
