I was wondering if anyone knew how many
weeks I can work up to when pregnant with
twins I am 14 weeks and already had to go
to part time cause standing on my feet for
10 hours kills me

What do you do? Just curious.
Regardless, I don't think any of us can
really tell you that. You should talk to
your doctor/midwife. He/she knows best
how your body can handle things.

i think you can work as much as you want
up to your th month,providing there is no
complications or orders from the doctor
for you not to be working.If you are at a
register I would ask if you can sit down
and have someone run for you so you don't
have to be running around all the time.
(i use to work at arby's and we did this
for a girl)

I am going to work until I deliver if at
all possible. I may go out at 36 weeks
because I am having an amnio done at this
time to make sure she is fully developed
and I will deliver at 38 weeks. The amnio
may cause leaking. If it does I can't
do a lot of strenuous activities and will
have to stay in bed until I do deliver
because the hole will seal it's self up if
I stay still and in bed.
I have a seditary job but I could go out
of work and someone working on their feet
my work the whole time. It depends on
the person and the pregnancy

gen, seriously, if you don't have to don't
do it. It's absolutely miserable when
you get this far. Doing the most basic
things feels like running in a marathon.
Plus everyone keeps telling me to walk but
if I walk I cramp then I have
contractions. Totally sucks.

Yeah I see what you mean. It's hard for
me just to get to work now and I only have
10 more weeks to go. I am very large,
everyone keeps telling me that I am going
to go earlier than 38 weeks. But knowing
my luck I won't, but because of health
reasons the doctor doesnt' want me to go
into labor. We will have to see.
I am having hubby problems again. I have
lost like6 lbs over the weekend because
the stress that all of this is causing me
to throw up everything I eat. I have
called my doctor and she said that since I
am going in tomorrow for a visit...She
said to eat and try not to throw up my
food if I can help it. And we will see
what we need to do.

I'm sorry you guys are having problems
again. It's stressful enough just being
pregnant and working but it's even worse
when you have relationship issues. I
hope everything gets better for you on
that front. Having a day or two of
vomiting won't hurt the baby as long as
you keep enough fluid in you to keep from
being dehydrated. Keep trying to eat and
try to at least keep your prenatal down.
Take a girl night tonight and try to relax
(easier said than done, trust me I know).
Bubble bath and warm milk with honey.
I am soo sick of my job right now it's
driving me insane especially the return to
work after four weeks thing. That is
really making me want to cry. I don't
know what to do about it. I want to have
time to rest and recuperate and to
actually get to know my son. Four weeks
isn't enough time, I won't even be able to
put him in a day care. Babies can't go
into daycare until six weeks.... I'm
trying really hard not to stress about
this but it's hard so I know where you're
coming from with the being stressed thing.
I'm starting to get depressed. I'm
gonna take my own girl's night advice...

That sounds wonderful.....I want to take a
girls night but it won't be taking a bath.
We only have 2 standup showers. (isnt'
that weird????) I didn't realize it until
like 6 weeks after we bought the house.
Maybe i'll try to give my feet the well
deserved clip and polish and maybe put
some highlights in my hair. Something.
Or maybe i'll sit on the toilet and shave
my legs. They need it greatly. I am
beginning to look like the shaggy dog.
Ack.
Work is ok....It's just the days that I
get major harassing phone calls that bug
the hell out of me. I just want to yell
at these wemon who have back pain and want
to be out of work....I just want to tell
them to try being preggers but the doc
won't write us out of work because we have
back pain because it isn't a warrented
disability because of the pregnancy. But
these wemon want to be out of work because
of some little back pain. I know that
they are out for like a slipped disc or
ddd or something but I feel like I have it
all sometimes.
Ok....Venting over. Taking a few deep
breaths to regain my sinces.
Innnnnnnnnn/ooooouuuuuuuttttt. Better
now

lol that's how I feel when ppl come into
my office and whine about their light
bulbs. It's like they want to sue bcuz I
didn't have the maintenance team upstairs
two minutes after they called with a new
light bulb. I want to start screaming at
them. That's not a real problem!! Try
being 9 mos pregnant, coming to work every
single day and listening to bull crap like
yours!!! Aaaahhhhh!! Venting is
soooo cleansing. Good idea .Gen. I
actually feel a smidgeon better. The
in/out thing had me smiling, tho...
:lol: breathe from your chakras!!!
Ooooohhhhhmmmmm!!! :lol:

Why can't you work past 24-26 weeks?
That's just over halfway.
