High risk pregnancy

Let me tell you it *****. I hate not doing anything all day. Im the type of person who cant stay still. I get up in the morning and start cleaning and my moms gets very angry at me and tells me to kn oc k it off. I need to go back to work but my doctor told me thats not an.option right now. So i was wondering if baby sitting was an.ok job to do. Its not a little money but it some. What do you guys think? I just need to do something. I not use to sitting at home all day and its driving me nuts!

If your going to babysit please get CPR certified and how to properly execute the Heimlich Maneuver. Also please consult your doctor with your decision high risk is to be taken seriously.

I agree with liz_zoey, they give you rules so you don't potentially harm you or the baby. I'd look at it as "I'm not gonna be sleeping when the baby gets here (or resting barely for that matter) so might as well get it out of my system" you have to do what's best for your baby, as my parents say "its not about you anymore"

I don't know if baby sitting is a good idea.  Perhaps you should consider tutoring instead.  At least you know tutoring is something you would just need to sit down for without any physical strain.

If the dr says no, then it generally means no. If you're high risk then any type of work or physical activity isn't recommended. They're just trying to do whats best for you and baby. I'd ask your dr first.

I did it my first pregnancy and loved it. I only got 4 bucks an hour and was like once or twice a week but I truly enjoyed it.
