When to stop work...

[worldofwisdom]

Okay, I'm only 15 weeks but my goodness! I work full time as a primary school teacher. I come home tired all the time. Exhuasted really... sore feet, sore gluteus Maximus, head aches ... and the list goes on. I'm blessed to have such a caring husband who looks after me very well, but surely he gets sick of it. When is a good time to stop working?

I'm already hurting. I will try and push it out and hopefully I make it until close to the end. Thanks for sharing your stories!

I'm in a similar boat
But I'm a veterinary technician, and my job demands a lot of physical activity. I have always been a hard worker, so taking it easy is difficult for me. Most women if they feel up to it work as long as they can. Talk to your superiors and husband and see if an early maternity leave is possible and doable. I personally for the sake of the baby am taking early leave in about a month or so and I'm only 15wk tomorrow.

Its all up to you. During my first pregnancy I worked until 6 months doing waitressing and housekeeping at a retirement home. Now your limits. Sit down as much as you can, your students will understand. Drinks lots of water during the day because dehydration happens very easily. And try to eat lots of snacks during the day. Congrats on the pregnancy, you can do it :)
