Should I consider not working?.

I'm 28 weeks and I've worked my entire pregnacy, my job involves a lot of movement and fast pace so I'm always on my feet and on the go!. and I started having contractions a few nights ago. Plus my legs and feet are always so swollen. Any comment helps(:

I'm in culinary school and on my feet a lot my last day of the semester is may 22nd I'm due the fourth of July I recommend taking the last 6-8 weeks off just so you can get baby stuff done and relax a bit before baby comes

I am due mid July and taking off June from work!  I am planning on May 22.  I don't carry our benefits or the big breadwinner salary though.  Check with your Human Resources department and payroll to see what type of leave to request and who gets the request.   I am probably taking an unpaid leave because I am going to be a stay at home mom afterwards!   :)  My job would pay for daycare and one cart of groceries.   Lol.  Take good care of yourself!   A happy and healthy pregnancy for all! !!  ♡☆♡☆♡☆

I over worked myself into early labor my last pregnancy. If your body says take a break listen to it.

I started having contractions at 16 weeks. It will be ok... just count them and make sure it's not more than 6 an hour and drink plenty of water

I am taking off starting May. I am due in June. That way not only can I rest more and relax, but I can fully enjoy being pregnant. Just listen to.your body. U can start maternity leavr any time. With my job it is gonna be considered a "personal leave" until I have the baby.
