I agree with dental assisting. Good god bending over for the damn patient and than not being able to sit kills your back. When I did sit (my legs & feet would swell like no other!)

People think being a swimming instructor is great while pregnant, therapeutic for the baby. It's horrible lol. It's with kids so you always have to be alert and so sitting on the bench in the water in case they jump in and omg
