K well like I said my doc gave me a note to stop working cuz of the blood pressure and all and that was on tues and ive still gone to work but im irritated (what else is new) but should I continue since I only have a lil time left or what? Im due 8-24 I am scared to stop for financial reasons but ill survive. Its 950 and I have to be to work at noon and dread it. I like my job its ok I guess but I dont get to sit down for caca! They had me workin my tail off lifting 18 gallon bins n crap with another girl while my boss the princess sells stuff on ebay and the other girl stands at the register doing crossword puzzles waiting to ring up customers Shocked

you'd think they'd have me do that but nooooo. I feel like im over doing it and I am physically exausted all I wanna do is sit around or sleep I even hate getting in the shower lol. Well I dunno im thinkin of makin today my last day what do u think? Sorry so long but once I get started I dont stop lol ~ erica.

With you doing all that lifting it really aint good for you so I think if you can then yeah let this be your last day.But isnt it by law when you are pregnant then they have to give you lite duty?You have to do alot of lifting at my job but when I told them I e=was pregnant they gave me lite duty and I didnt ask for it.

Well they're understandable. They aint too hard on me and all but they dont act like im pregnant lol it's like they expect me to do everything. If I dont say hey this is too heavy for me to lift or I cant do this then they'll do it but i'd rather have them be like hey I dont want you lifting that ya know? Cuz then with me always saying I cant this, I cant that it makes me look incompident and I hate that. I feel like a big whiner when im there. Grrr its 1120 and I have to get dressed and go omg I dont want to !!! Thanks for the reply though. ~ erica.

Hey

Girl! Don't be lifting anything too heavy! Tell those slave drivers you are for that you are expecting and you cannot do all this!

Girl you need to take it easy and don't be lifting heavy things even if it's not as heavy but you always have to listen to your body that's so important.

If you have to tell you can't lift this or that it's not your fault, you're looking out for yourself.

Dont lift anything heavy please! Its not good for you. I know my boss doesnt like me lifting anything at all. Like when we get new boxes and stuff for new associations and they are like 10 pounds, hes like I got it, dont lift anything. Thats because its looking at a workers comp case if your back goes out. Have you done your paperwork for maternity leave? So you can get paid? You should fill that out so you can have some money coming back to you.
