Do you work?

I got a seasonal fulltime job around 16/17 weeks because I was bored out if mind sitting at home with nothing to do. Now I'm almost 30 weeks and I sometimes wish I would have stayed my butt at home relaxing. Now that we are fully in the holiday season my hours are crazy. Start work at 6am... and It's not consistent.  I can be here until 6pm or 1030 pm depending on when I come in. I'm glad to at least have this extra little money for when the babe comes but sheesh. I'm too tired for all of this now. I can't wait till it is over! Time is moving by So slow and I'm just getting bigger and bigger.

I work full time in a high stress fast paced environment, only six weeks but no intention of stopping until they make me.

Yes, I'm a CNA. I'm on my feet all day. With my first pregnancy I worked full time and worked up to the day before my daughter was born. With this pregnancy, I'm only 12 weeks, I'm still a CNA, but I work with homecare....full time. So I'm helping people take showers in their home all day and do light homemaker duties, cleaning, laundry, sweeping, mopping, cleaning bathrooms. I do a lot of bending, twisting, and moving.

27 weeks and a full time job as a manager in my coy. Stressed frm morning till night. Erratic hours, crazy boss, staff and clients etc all fall on my table. Sometumes im so exhausted I wonder if I can go on. I do break down frm time to time but I'll probably work till 2 weeks b4 delivery. And people say women are not strong? Kudos to all the pregnant working women in the house.

Yep, I have worked full time since day 1 and I am now 31 weeks.  Sometimes I am exhausted but I couldn't imagine not working.   I have had bleeding since day 1 and partial placenta abruption at 17 weeks. I am only able to do desk stuff because of this but I think work helps me get through the stress and keeps my mind busy.
