Working mothers. Hours, what's too much?

[KoriAnn]

I am about to be 25 weeks,  and I am a manager of Domino's.  
I currently work 55-60 hours a week,  which is killing me.  
Very stressed and lots of doubles.  

I was wondering when you guys went on leave and hope many hours you worked at 6 months?

I am finshing at 35 weeks and i am 29 weeks friday due 10th oct

[KoriAnn]

The thing is,  I asked for just 40 hours for 3 months and have just received more -__-

It is so frustrating. I am still constantly sick,  and fatigued.  And I feel like the reason is I haven't had time to catch up and recover.

I work 60 a week and I did more with my last 2 kids and never called in and I worked up till I had my kids. I guess it depends on you!!! Good luck

I'm a little lazy, I worked about 60 hours a week as a personal care assistance. Stop working around 25 weeks. I'm to sleepy. But after I give birth to my daughter I'll be back at work with in a week.

Yeah I had to cut down on my hours bc I was full time and then working overtime sometimes too ;( and my job requires me to be on my feet now I'm working about 20 hrs a week and I am not complaining bc I started gaining my weight and feeling less under stress. It was worth it

I worked 2 jobs ( full time and part time) and went school full time, up until 39 weeks. Really not fun, but I honestly think it kept me healthy and in good shape throughout my pregnancy. I have been home for the last week and going crazy with boredom and thinking about having a baby!

Do what's comfortable for you though. Your body will know  if you're overdoing or not. I was lucky and didn't have any major health concerns

I was a manager at a fast food restaurant with my 1st so I can def relate. Like u I worked 50-60 hrs but on rotating shifts. I stopped working at 36 weeks by then I just couldn't do the run around and stress level  anymore.

That's a lot...! I'm an accountant, working 40 hours a week and I'm sitting at my desk all day long pretty much... I couldn't imagine running around all day long. If I were you, I'd definitely ask for less hours at this point...

I manage a subway. I work 45 hours a week. I am 7 months and asked about dropping down to 40. They told me that they would pay me hourly if thats the case. Also, i asked about maternity leave, of course im pretty sure it will be unpaid leave. They said i could use a weeks vacation during my leave.

I worked 40 hrs through my pregnancy but did deliver at 34 weeks I think part of it was being on my feet and stress from working to much I'd cut back just to give your body rest.
