Do any of you expecting mommies not work?
I don't work and I'm at home pretty much all day everyday!!

I keep everything clean so there is never anything to do but lay around and watch movies.

I'm.so.bored!!
Anyone currently share this with me?

Oh and I work 12 hour night shift that my boss told me "I can't promise you will get off of".. I have been trying to find a job since I started this one. Still here over a year later!

This subject breaks my heart. I want so badly to be able to stay at home. I feel like the economy restricts me from that. Really regretting having bought a new car last year but I also wasn't expecting to get pregnant either! I just remember my mom staying home with me until I went to school. I just wish I could give the memories to my baby that I share with my own mom.

I'm the same way! I get everything done within the first 2 hours I'm alone, then I have another 7 hours to waste! It's pretty awful. I can't wait for my baby boy to be here so I have some more to do & also someone to keep me company(:

I don't work mostly because pregnancy has been too hard on me to work :( I clean and cook but half the time need help. I just try and do as much as I can, usually being stubborn and exhausting myself lol

Im only getting 2 days a week anymore. Id love to be a stay at home mom but with the bills we have its not possible :( And there are some days I hate being at home just going to school - until now that is... Im doing online classes til Summer Quarter due to the pregnancy but I have to attend full time starting in July and that means what isnt covered by government loans I have to pay out of pocket so I desperately need another job. Im 28 so scholarships for me are very limited :(

I dont work anymore, unfortunately. My job drastically cut my hours down before eventually giving me none, so I had no choice but to quit. All I do is my classes online, clean, and cook. It gets boring but at the same time I'm glad I dont have a job anymore because once she arrives I'm gonna have no time to do anything!

I consider being a mom work. Yes i stay at home all day but i dare someone to tell me its not hard. Its the hardest work out their. No days or nights off. And no pay.
Been doing it five years and wouldn't trade it for the world.
I have had people ask how i deal with doing nothing all day. Im like really? I wish.
