I work in a warehouse full time 10 hr shifts overnight. Were not allowed to sit down, and being 7 months pregnant it's really starting to take its toll. I've been cramping a lot lately and last week I carried about a 40 lb box and started spotting. I wanna quit so bad but my boyfriends kids mom just raised his child support $500 and we can't afford it. I don't know what to do :(

I've been at my job for 5 years too! And I'm also 29weeks and don't get maternity leave! It fckn ***** I've been having horrible back pain and started having swelling now. So my Dr told me when I'm ready to quit let her know so I can fill out the temporary disability! She says back pain is covered in that situation so I'm almost positive you can do it too. Just ask? I was completely unaware. I'm just stuck on the fact I will struggle with my bills n stuff. Since my hubby just got let go its completely on me ;( they way I'm trying to look at s I was going to quit a month before anyway? So at least this way I'll have someee type of income? Once again sorry to hear this bs seems like both of our jobs suck assss!!!!!

Youve worked there for 5yrs?! Thats so wrong that you dont get maternity leave!

Damn that really bums
Im so sorry to hear
But I thought they aren't suppose to let you carry any weight
especially 40 lbs
thats dangerous!
Sorry Im no help, I really wish I knew more about working and pregnancy

I'm not eligible for disability. I don't even get maternity leave when I have her and I've worked there for 5 years

Talk to your Dr and they may put you on sone restrictions at work.

I'm really scared I'm gonna go into labor early. I'm only 29 weeks. I try not to stress but it's almost impossible. Its so hard to decide whether or not to quit and keep her safe. Or to keep food on the table and a roof over her head when she comes home :(

Maybe get on temporary disability?? I know it won't be close to ur actual paychecks but at least youll be able to rest an still get some income . I'm in the same boat. I'll be going on it in June exactly one month before I pop. I'm trying to stick it out for now ;/ sorry to hear this I know its so not cool!! Hope things get better!!
