don't want to work.

i'm 30 weeks pregnant this thursday, and i start my first day of work that day. i just got the call, and i regret accepting the job. i applied back when i was 3months pregnant and now i'm 7months and they hired me. my husband and i are both unemployed and this is the only job opportunity we have, other than baby sitting my nephew. it's only part time (8-1) but my body's been aching a lot lately and i don't know how i'm going to handle it.

i really don't want to start working, but i feel like i have no choice.

@gsyoung - i'm due the same day! but i'm hoping he comes out a little sooner than that. i've never been this heavy before, so my body feels like it's just crumbling down slowly.

@clowe - i know how you feel! plus, whenever i'm on my feet for too long or uncomfortable i get grouchy. and it doesn't help that my mood swings have come back

I don't want to work either. I feel so tired and wore out all the time. I'm 33w4d. I'm not used of the weight in me. And I'm always busy.

i'm really dreading it because i'm going to be working as a teacher's assistant with kids ages 3-5. and lately, bending and walking has put me in such bad pain that i'm considering calling the guy back and turning it down.
