Have any of you quit your job or reduced your hours since you found out you're pregnant? How do you balance your busy life and pregnancy?

I work as a Nursing Assistant at a nursing home, with my first pregnancy I had 20 patients to care for at night and I worked up until I was 36 weeks pregnant and delivered via c sectin at 39 weeks and 4 days. I am now on baby #2 and I am sill at the same job and hopefully I can work up until 38 weeks. I was on maternity leave for 12 weeks which was awesome.

I wish!! I shouldn't complain, I work part time but I'm a nurse which when you are sensitive to smells really *****!! I also work where I am exposed to cytotoxic drugs (chemotherapy) so trying to get a transfer to another ward that's safer for bub! Counting down until maternity leave!

I'm taking a break from my job. It isn't super stressful or high-impact, but I was just miserable and kept on missing days. I cut back on hours few weeks ago, but it wasn't helping as much as I thought it would. Luckily, I have the option to do some work from home for my family's business.

I'm In a factory full time and drive 45min to get there and another to get home. I leave at dark and come home at dark. I'd love to be able to quit but we simply can't afford it. It stinks I'm constantly exhausted and from being so tired I miss a lot of time with my family and if I make myself stay awake to spend time they say I'm grouchy. The work and drive never bothered me this bad before I was pregnant but its seasonal and will be over with in march. And my fiance said we will make it work so I can stay home after that plus not to many people where I am from are gunna hire someone that's 6/7 months preggo lol

after discussing it with my husband I quit my job as soon as I found out I was 6 weeks at the time, and it has been great. my job was high pace high stress and so it's great that I can be home now and I enjoy my time off and I'm blessed that my husband can take care of business.
