should i be workong?

I'm 32+ weeks and not yesterday but the day before I was in the e.r. for preterm labor and yesterday I tried all day to get a hold of my doctor to ask her if I should still be working :( I never got a hold of anyone and it made me so mad so what do you guys think? Should I be working? I work at Wendys as a cashier and coordinator

Just prenatals they didn't put me on meds :/ I am attempting to find a new dr. But its really hard at this point :( I was so mad I couldn't get a hold of her either and to top it off I started having contractions at work again today :(

I don't think you should be working and you might like to consider a new dr. I went into preterm labour at 27wks and have been on strict bedrest since. They kept me in for 2wks because they had to stop it twice more and had to try a few different meds til they found one that managed my contractions. What meds are you on? If you're feeling the same way I would go back because they may need to adjust yours. Good luck!

I worked until 35 almost 36 weeks until my manager said I need to call my doc and make my start date as of the 19th of this month talk to your manager and you may have to go on maternity leave and talk to your HR

If I were you I would tell my job I don't feel comfortable working until I know for sure.

I don't know I'm a ftm I didn't know I was in labor and spent all night like that until almost 11 the next day and as soon as I walked in they put my on a bed and hooked me up to a bunch of different machines and kept asking if I could feel the contractions.... How am I supposed to know what that feels like? I just had an upset stomach and that was all.... And according to the Dr. I was pale too but they didn't say anything and my Dr. Hasn't returned any calls and the nurses just say talk to your Dr. :/ so I made an appointment and the earliest they can see me is December 3rd at 2:30 in the afternoon :( I worked yesterday and today and I feel like I have an upset stomach again.... Like its starting again but I have no way to a Dr. Until 5ish :(

I have been on bed rest for pre term labor since 23 weeks. So I don't think you should be working.

I went into preterm labor with my last pregnancy at 32 weeks and I was placed on strict bed rest! I don't think you should. Have you dilated any?
