Working mamas how many hours are you working?

Question

Currently working 8.5-9 hours 5 days a week with only 20 minute breaks at chick Fil a everyday but I’m 26+4 and my feet are so swollen and after each shift my bump hurts. Should I be cutting down hours ?

Answer

I’m an Emergency room nurse and always on my feet. I highly suggest compression socks. Prevent swelling and your feet aren’t as tired after a long day!

Answer

Have you tried a belly support band? I don’t have to be on my feet for work so for me when I was doing 50 hrs/week it wasn’t terrible, but my dr let me know that she’s highly recommend one if my back pain/belly pain didn’t get better

Answer

Try a belly band it will definitely help

Answer

I work on my feet all day delivering packages. at 30 weeks now. I invested in good shoes and insoles and socks to help with swelling. Some days a belly band. So far feeling pretty good other then bending over is really not fun. I work between 40 to 35 hours a week.

Answer

I work 40 hours a week — I’ll be working right up to my scheduled c-section and have to go back right after 6 weeks postpartum bc of crap maternity leave. I’m pretty salty about it!

Answer

I was working 64 hours a week for the first and second trimester 😳. I just dropped down to working 56 hours a week a couple week ago. 
I run a daycare out of my home 8 hours a day Monday- Thursday and work two 12 hour shifts at the hospital on Friday and Saturday. The daycare is a new adventure I put into place for when my 2nd baby comes so I can quit the hospital job and stay home with my two babies. But I’m pushing the limits right now of exhaustion that’s for sure.

Answer

I’m 29+3 and work 28 hours total with the three days I work. Granted the dental office is closed on Monday’s, Saturday’s, and Sunday’s so the only day left is Friday.
