That is a decision totally up to u. I will tell u that I worked 2 jobs my entire 2nd pregnancy and my water actually broke right after I left the second job that night. My daughter was healthy! I could say my body was use to working like that since I had done it for 5 years already. If u don't feel to overwhelmed or stressed then I don't see any issue with it. But make sure u are resting whenevr u get the chance and that u can take breaks often.

Yeah be careful, you are a very brave woman for doing that, but you know your body, but when it tells you to rest, you rest.

I worked 2 full time jobs also, but I gave one up at week 29. My body just couldn't handle it anymore. Be careful this can be very stressful and your baby needs all the rest he/she can get.

I'm 21 weeks and work 2 jobs. It depends on what your doing. Your body will let you know when enough is enough.
