re: Working while pregnant?

my mom told me she worked all 9 months when she was pregnant with me;; but everyone's pregnancy is different. i had to go on independent study around 17 weeks because i had a lot of aches and pains. it all just depends.

Quoting TabithaLove:“ Dude, I was soooooo tired with George! I couldn't sleep enough. I would feel so guilty when I would ... [snip!] ... just like lay on the couch & let him come to me to play...if he were playing on the floor, I'd doze in & out haha!”

lol
ya i feel bad going to bed before him so i have been making myself stay up but i know time will come i cant stay up anymore lol
right now i hate working getting up at 430 is killing me lol

It would kill me too! I think I go to sleep around then haha! My boys sleep in until 10-11 every morning. They go to bed late too though; we're on a whacky schedule because James works nights, so we try to maximize family time & sleeping time!

ya i understand that
we go to bed like 7;30 if im lucky most of the time 8:30
Jr wakes up at 5 he hatesgetting up at 1st, he yells at us but oncehe is 100% uphe loves playing with daddy before we leave

i only called out of work a few times. and thats if i was really bad. i would get sent home some times for puking at work. but im not going to take maternity leave until i have my daughter.

Quoting TabithaLove:“ I took off one day when I was pregnant with Charlie &resigned at 38 weeks. The one day off was not ... [snip!] ... worse. Does that make sense? With my 2nd pregnancy, I took zero days off....because SAHM is more than a full-time job lol!”

I agree w/ you're statement! I was home the entire time w/ my son while I was pregnant w/ my daughter, and in someways it was harder than working while I was pregnant with my son!!

I can't imagine if I had been working when I was pregnant w/ my daughter. I saw my Dr's bi-weekly from 12 weeks until about 28 weeks when I started going every week. Dealing w/ that, plus my son was enough to cope with...

i work 6 to 2:30 so i make all my dr app after 3. My dr is only 10 min from my work so it works out great. Just little hard but i tell myself only 6 months left i can do this

Yeah, that would have been nice for me. I worked 8-5 one hour for lunch, and there was no way my lunch would have been enough time to get to my Dr's office and back. I worked like 40 minutes north of my Midwife's office that I had with my son. If I had been working when I was pregnant with my daughter I would have been traveling over an hour south to the Dr's, because I had to go to a Perinatologist in a bigger hospital.

Six months will go fast. Once you hit 8-8 1/2 months it might seem like forever, but try to enjoy it as best as you can. I so miss being pregnant and my daughter is only 6 months old. And once we do have our 3rd baby, we're going to be done having them, and that thought really depresses me...
