You'll start to feel better in a few weeks mama. Tough it out. I actually quit for three weeks and then went back because I was bored out of my mind. But now I regret going back lol. I only like and need the money or else I'd be done now.

I'm only 14 weeks and it's getting rough. Not to mention I have "morning sickness" at night and I work a lot of night shifts /: ugh!

I'm 20+6 and I'm a server. I know exactly how you feel. It's so tiring to be on my feet all night and day. The arches of my feet are always throbbing during my shift. And I have had back pain since the beginning of my pregnancy as well. I see a prenatal masseuse and that seems to help a bit. I'm probably gonna quit by 30 weeks.

Food industry is by far the worst job for pregnant women. It's a challenge for me. :(

I am 10 weeks and work at a daycare center. I would be fine right now if it wasn't for the morning sickness. Any weird smells or yucky looking things make me want to vomit. So I dry heave or throw up at work constantly. I'm waiting for this part of pregnancy to be over so I can start feeling better...

I'm 33 weeks, and I go to school full time and work part time. The only hard thing is walking to class. My campus is really large, and my book bag is so heavy. I probably am carrying an extra 60 pounds between my bookbag and my belly. I make sure to put my feet up in a chair in front of me during class. Luckily I work a desk job though, so I only have to worry about swelling. You might want to look into getting a belly band or belt to support your back if you stand all day

I'm 21 ftm I work at a grocery store.as a supervisor and I'm all day long on my feet. I'm constantly walking or running throughout the store and it's getting to the point where I'm getting fatigued. I'm taking a one week vacation soon so I can do and fix somethings and after that I will be working two more weeks and then I will be done with my job.
