Any ladies working while pregnant

So I work at a dental office and iv been finding it pretty difficult working while pregnant. I just miscarried in April and I'm now 7wks, I'm so tired and the doctor I work for annoys me to the T!! I feel as if me being pregnant is a burden to her, yesterday we had a little dispute because she gave me an attitude about me being concerned about the nitrous "laughing gas" having a leak!  I feel as if she's so inconsiderate of me being cautious about my pregnancy. I don't know what to do? I don't want to quit because I want to provide for my baby but again I want to healthy pregnancy... Any advice ladies or stories you can share that's similar to mine?

When my husband and I took his niece to the dental office they noticed that I was pregnant and they asked me to wait out side. I think they took me out because of the gas. You should really ask your Dr if you can even work there while pregnant because that dentist got really concern when she knew I was pregnant.

I'm going to look into that! Thankyou! I go back to my doctor next Friday.

And a dental office is not as safe as you may think it is..we are exposed to a lot chemicals, radiation and biohazard which isn't good. And Thankyou for the support I'm looking forward to the second trimester (:

I've been working 50+ hours a week, on my feet as a co-mananger at a restaurant. Starting next week I'll be dropping my hours back, I'm 32 weeks, baby is just fine with zero complications. A dental office sounds a lot safer/easier than my job description. So i think you'll be just fine. But, you know yourself, and body better than I do,  only you can make that decision. Just remember, the 2nd trimester gets much easier. :)

Ask your Dr if you could get a note to not work until you're on the safe zone. Because you're still early in pregnancy and with stress/arguments could lead to miscarriage also with the work safety. That way you won't have to quit and return to work once you're in the 2nd tri.
