Working while 19.5 weeks with pain

I work as a CNA(Certified Nursing Assistant) at a nursing home. The place I work at now requires a lot more lifting than any other place I have worked at before. I have been having some back and stomach pain that doesn't feel normal to me. I also get out of breath really easily to the point where sometimes my ears start ringing, sounds muffle and I get dizzy as though I'm going to pass out. I'm not sure if I should continue working... I'm only 19.5 weeks. Help?

Your work should make adjustments to job to accommodate your pregnancy. Try to talk to your supervisor about what you're experiencing, you may need a note from your doctor stating you can't do XYZ. Don't continue to strain yourself!

Yeah, I just had my doctor put me on light duty so hopefully my job will have something I can do. Thank you!
