Understanding co-workers

[3timescharmed]

I'm just wondering what every one's opinion is when they have a pregnant co worker?  I am a server right now and I am  30 weeks. .....I pull my own weight along with others who decide not to show up for shifts and I am happy working but there are just some things I physically cannot do.    Such as dumping 15 lb ice buckets from the floor to waist level and flipping tables to clean them I try to compensate by at least filling the buckets and prepping the tables to be flipped but it doesn't stop people from making comments about me being lazy.  Which doesn't in itself bother it's more so the lack of just simply helping someone because they need it.
Has any of you expectant mommies ran into this before?  How did you react?

It's a mix. It ranges from age 19-40 I have told them multiple times that I don't think they realise just how pregnant I am.  But I honestly just think the particular people I work with have never had the strongest work ethic.  I have two other kids that I have full time and I understand it's my choice to be working but it just troubles me people are so unwilling to help.  And a lot of times I am there double shifts because people don't show up or leave early so by time the night people come in I have been there for 6-7 hrs already and don't waddle the fastest so they are just rude with their words.  It's just frustrating.  I am a personal stylist by trade so this is just a temporary situation but where has the fellowship in team work gone? ?

Your coworkers are being inconsiderate. My coworkers are so helpful. They make sure I dont carry any boxes or anything. But I work in an office setting and had to start boxing things away and they are very helpful with lifting for me.

The people you work with sound super inconsiderate. Have you explained to them that you're very pregnant and not able to do everything? I work in an office, and everyone is very understanding. There are two of us pregnant right now. But I understand that mine is overall a less physically taxing job. Do you work with a lot of younger people who have never had kids? They just seem so rude to be saying that about you.

It doesn't bother me. Knowing the limitation pregnat woman have I am always ready to lead a helping hand. My co workers now are pretty good to they often help me carry things and save me trouble from even getting up.
