I only worked during my second pregnancy not my other 2. I was working full time in a restaurant and it was tough. My lil man decided to come at 33 weeks 5 days with no warning. I wish you the best!

I work at a casino standing all my feet my entire shift and Im still working. I'm 36 weeks and will be induced on the 23rd. I think the more u walk and exercise the easier it will be during labor and the pushing part, your muscles should be more relaxed.
