Back story..

I have 5 kids. My husband was let go from his job 5 months ago for health issues.

I am the only one working. So I have the responsibility of paying the bills.. you know rent, lights, diapers, etc.

I am almost 30 weeks pregnant with our twins. I am super thankful for this miracle. Twins! Its been a journey so far. Such happiness when they move. When my husband d talks to them at night.

I wish I could have the option for maternity leave. Guilt free. But I used 3 weeks of my leave already around 10 weeks because growing the placenta for these two miracle babies was kicking my ass. So I have 3 left.

I already signed my papers for c section so we can do the tubal at the same time. Like I said we already have 5 wonderful children adding 2 more to the mix this time was certainly a surprise. All 5 were delivered natural.. I chose c section this time so I don't have to miss 6 weeks postpartum and additional 6 weeks for tubal after.

Now to my real questions (plus back story) I work alone. As a custodian. Totally alone - my boss is over

an hour away. I am responsible for 7 buildings near me and additional 3 buildings that are a half an hour away. Because I am huge now due to twins I am feeling miserable by the end of my day. I have no help at work. I know my standards at my job have started to fall short of my own goals (such as mopping every building everyday.)

Back pain, hip pain, shortness of breath, slight swelling by the end of the day.. I am really scared to get covid and everything started to get overwhelming a couple weeks ago. But now I feel like I can't do it all . Not all the time anymore . I just want healthy pregnancy and healthy family.

Should I try and continue working or ask my Dr for a note for work requesting no work til after the babies are safe and after postpartum.

If you took the time to read this long post thank you. I'm really feeling guilty . I don't know the right answer.
