Hey working mamas! Balancing pregnancy fatigue with work and other responsibilities can be a real challenge. Let's discuss our strategies for managing fatigue while still fulfilling our commitments. Whether it's finding time for self-care, seeking support from colleagues, or adjusting work routines, let's help each other find that perfect balance!

Answer

I told my team leader and a store leader after five weeks. They were both very excited and extremely supportive. They said to let them know if I need any accommodations. My job requires me to be on my feet and lift objects. The heaviest being packs of water. I don’t work full time, and have been one of many shoppers having trouble getting enough shifts in our flexible scheduling system, so that will be to my advantage as the pregnancy progresses. I also don’t get maternity leave as a part time employee, but can take a medical leave of absence and the minimum requirement to keep my job is just one shift a week that is only four hours at minimum. I was at work yesterday and told my team leader that I would need to check my blood sugar at a certain time. As that time approached, she paged me on the walkie to tell me that another shopper would take over my task when I was ready. When I was done checking my sugar, I retrieved my cart and device from the shopper and resumed my task. My team leader is such a wonderful person.
