taking off of work

[chasnicole42]

I'm almost 31 weeks pregnant and work is being harder and harder every shift. I am a server that is constantly on my feet for 7-8 hours per shift. My feet constantly swell up and I'm always extremly tired during work. When is a good time to stop working?

with my son, my doc put me on disability at 30 weeks due to preeclampsia. I gave birth via c-section at 31 weeks. Tell your dr everything your experiencing - doesnt hurt to ask.

I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with baby girl and the same dr that delivered my son put me on disability at 26 weeks due to high risk pregnancy. Dr couldnt guarantee disability would pay me, but thankfully they are. Congrats and just take it easy.

With my second daughter I worked as a teachers assistant until to days before I had my daughter and I had bad swollen feet and rods in my back:( it was hard work but I did it

I just quit today because I wouldn't handle it. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow. Thank god for my husband and we are fine with finances. my personal opinion if you can I would stop now and just relax and enjoy as much as you can till your baby is born. You can ask your doctor for the paper work you need to take off early. Idk how long work gives you for maternity leave but you should be covered

I had to stop work at 24 weeks because my feet would get swollen after 20 mins. I am a Cna and the work was getting more and more difficult to do. But I know girls that went all the way to 38 weeks... it's all depending on how much can ur body take and if yr doc takes u out of work. Good luck with everything
