Any FTM 30 plus weeks still working?
Is it a struggle for you guys to get up and go ?Because due to being up all night from the uncomfortable sleeping positions to using the bathroom all night-its wearing me out!
Oh my gosh I know just what you mean! I am 25 weeks but I thought u had a UTI because I was going to the bathroom all day and night. Then sometimes it is hard to fall back to sleep. Ugh! I am trying to work until June 5th and I am due July 19 th but I just do not know if I can make it! Hang in there! If you feel awful and need a break, see if you can put in for disability or thr FMLA because you can get 6 or 8 weeks with FMLA and use some before and some after. My doctors were telling me that I have no condition and they would not give me a note. So I will put in for an unpaid leave because I just started in September and you have to work for one year to qualify for anything paid. Frustrated, but I have been saving so when I need to go I will go! Trying to buy what I need ahead of time while the paychecks are rolling in. I feel a lot of pressure and aching when I walk very low. ... but am fine to sit. Walking around in a school for nine hours a day as a t a is not easy!!! Good luck to you! A happy and healthy pregnancy! :) ♡☆♡☆♡
Yep, ftm 38 wks Thursday still working both jobs. It may kill me... Im hoping all the walking today will put me into labor, I'm ready to meet my little girl!!
34 weeks and still working. Hoping to work up until birth. Don't want to cut my time with the baby short
Uggghh I'm miserable. 39+5 and I have two 12 hour shifts left! Today and tomorrow!! Torturing myself now because I want 12 whole weeks off with my baby
33 weeks and still working!
Im 35 weeks..still working... so tired and all this extra pressure is killing my body
I'm 35+4 and still working, very part time at this point. Till the 25th of this month, due May 8th, unless my baby decides he wants to come before then
I'm due tomorrow and still working.. I just keep telling myself any day now!
I'm 32 weeks, have gestational diabetes, and still work 10 hr days. I sleep just fine at night other than the constant pee breaks; it's my husband who tosses and turns and can't get comfortable. I'll work until my doctors say I have to stop or I'm in labor.
37 weeks and 2 days still working but from home
37 weeks and still working 40 hrs a week. Its a struugle but I keep telling myself Its worth it to have 12 weeks with my baby boy.
32 weeks and plan on sticking it out unless doc says i cant anymore. Worked til noon the day my first was born!
33 weeks and work about 45 hrs a week!
Almost 32 weeks and still working full time, we're also short handed so Im working 9 hour days with no breaks and still only getting paid for 8 hours which is especially tiring and frustrating. I working in customer service so aside from the exhaustion and physical discomfort Im also crazy irritated and annoyed at everything and everyone. Blah, wish I could afford to stop working but I only get a 6 week unpaid leave and I plan to use my last 2 weeks of vacation time to extand that too but of course I dont want to waste any of that time if I can help it. Im SO not the best customer service person in this condition...
Still working 9_10 hour days and im due in 4 days!
I worked up until I was induced, which was at 42 weeks with my first. I finished the work week on a Friday as usual, then went in for induction that Sunday night :-) working helped me to keep my mind off of being so overdue!
34 weeks and still working as a full time nurse doing 12 hour shifts. I wake up 4+ times just to pee and more just to reposition. The way I see it, is pregnancy is not a disability. Unless the doctor tells me otherwise, I am scheduled to work up to and even on my due date.
Good to know that I am not alone. My dr. had me to cut my 8hrs in half because baby girl is trying to come early. My due date isn't until June 10th. Am gonna just take it one day at a time. Am completing the FMLA request now. Thanks ladies!
Im 25 weeks and will be working up until birth or until doctor tells me to stop
I'm 37w5d. Working until I hit 39 weeks, or maybe a touch sooner depending on how my Dr appts go. I hear you on being exhausted...I work 12.5 hour shifts and rotate day shift/night shift every 3 weeks. I feel so "done" with work!
37 weeks and working 3 12hr graves a week. Plan on doing so until I deliver!
I'm 38 weeks and 5days. My last day of work is tomorrow. And in having a c-section on Thursday. Every person is different. I don't want to waist any time without my baby boy and since he won't turn I'm going to need a c-section anyways
I'm a ftm, and 36 weeks along, I work full time 12 hour shifts overnight a hospital so I'm on my feet most of the night....it is very difficult, lately I come home from work and only sleep for 2 hours or so and then I'm up for the rest of the day till I have to go back to work...I definitely don't get enough rest and not to mention that being on my feet for that long makes them swollen and very painful! Right now I am on my 4th 12 hour shift in a row and I am in so much pain...but i have to work pretty much up till I deliver...I guess I shpuld be glad I work in the hospital and if I go into labor while I'm working then I won't have very far to go.
I am 38 weeks and work 60 hours a week. I work a lot of overtime to cover shifts when employees call in sick. Next monday is supposed to be my last day but i will suck it up and fill in shifts until the 20th. I'm due the 22nd.
