Please Need Advice! Switching Jobs while Preg!

[russian_dancer44]

Ok I need some serious advice from all the pregnant moms on here. I am SERIOUSLY considering changing jobs because well for some reasons:
1. I am a receptionist for an animal hospital and they make us fill meds, help with procedures, and knowcrazy amounts of info that nobody would know unless you when to school to become a tech!
2. they stress me out and have been ever since I was pregnant
3. They force us to stay 4-5 hours after closing if there are procedures
4. once they found out i was pregnant they cut my hours down'
5. I am a month shy of my one year when the baby is due and they arent giving me by benefits
6. They claim ive become "careless" and "forgetful" ever since I became pregnant (HELLOOO you make me do a million things)
7. They call me on my days off and ***** about what I messed up on

They basically have me so stressed I dread work everyday and afraid it will hurt the baby. Not to mention they call me to come to the back all he time and they have anesthesia going!! I cant be around that!
Anyways Im just wondering what jobs did you all have when pregnant and what was less stressful?
Please no negative comments.

I think you should switch or tell them that you arent their monkey to boss and treat as they wish

Im currently working at churches chicken and im always getting stressed. I do have another job offering and im thinking of switching its maybe a bit less hours and less pay but im safer and stress free

I was working at a prison when I found out I was pregnant, and I had just started there. And it is literally the easiest job in the world, your basically an overpaid baby sitter. but when I started working 12 hour nights, I was staying tired, not getting enough sleep, wasn't eating much, and the inmates would get my blood pressure super high. I got so stressed I wanted to cry everyday I had to work. SoI quit, went back to the grocery store I was at before. now I feel so much better. on my feet a lot. more but they understand and work with me. So if you can find something that will understand and work with you  I say go for it.Its hard to work and be pregnant in certain places.

I have been trying to switch jobs and not to discourage you but at every interview they look at me and my belly like I am crazy.But at my current job for some reason the are under the impression that I can work for 10 hours with no type of break or meal. They get upset when I bring up the doctors note I gave them telling them I must eat every 4 hours I just know this is not something I can continue especially the further I get along. So I definitely understand your struggle. I would try getting employed through a temp agency because they have no reason to discriminate its already understood that you will be there temporarily.

It sounds very stressfull and not good for you. I'm 16 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I've been employed by walmart for a year. I'm a deli associate and cake decorator so I'm constantly on my feet 9-11 hours a day. Its stressfull with all the customers and I end up getting left alone a lot which is harder on me now that I'm pregnant. I'm always tired which ***** because I have a 2 year old. But its a really good paying job.
