quitting your job?

Anybody have any advice or has anyone who had a good paying job had to quit or been fired from their job due to pregnancy. I'm currently the main bread winner of our family. His job helps but my job is what gets everything paid. I'm so close to losing my job because of sickness etc. (Don't get more fmla hours for a few months) i sincerely think i wouldn't feel so bad ALL THE TIME if i just quit but i can't bring myself to do it. I feel like I'm just waiting to get fired (which seems inevitable at this point)

Tell your OB to give young note saying you may need to take off. Then they can't fire you.

your ob can give you something for headaches and there is stuff you can take for a cold . I was getting sick a lot and I started drinking a lot of orange juice the vitamin c helps. & I'm tired too but I have no choice to stick it out even if I have to work till 10pm and be back at work at 6am

try keeping ginger ale and crackers with you to help you from being nauseated. I'd say he should probably start looking for a better job himself but for now do what you can to keep yourself from feeling sick. I've noticed if I have a small snack in my pocket and drink ginger ale I don't feel nauseated

I was forced on bed rest at week 20 and my job wouldn't hold my position so i was forced to resign. Although it was hard because I loved my job but i really didn't make much money.. my husband thankfully has been so supportive and he has a good job which helps me to not worry. I say you should let them fire you if they choose because at least then you should get unemployment.. in the meantime prepare for clipping coupons.  Lol.
