Did Anyone Work Full Time While Pregnant?

[ep1713]

Hi Kristen,

I can't imagine working full time right now being pregnant! Hats off to you for making it this long. I work around 20-25 hours a week and I still think it's hard to keep up with everything health wise and deal with all the stress at work.

I completely understand the whole wanting to work as long and as much as possible before the baby because I too am quiting after the baby arrives. I'm also not very good at admitting when I'm doing too much (yet I can see when other people are doing too much, go figure).

I definitely think you need to cut back. You don't want to have yourself worn down already before your baby arrives. I agree with Julie though, that 32 hours still seems like a lot. I'd recommend 20-25 hours.

I hope this helps you know you aren't alone in feeling overwhelmed by work and being pregnant!

I worked full time from home starting around 20 weeks until I delivered at 32 wks. My OB wrote a letter stating that I was able to continue working but I was on restricted travel. I was able to log in remotely from home in the comfort of my PJ's. It gave me flexibility to eat, nap, and just do everday things without rushing. I don't know if you could arrange something like this with your job. As an added bonus my workload decreased significantly during this time I assume because it was a hassle for everyone in the office to send me work. Which at that point I knew I wasn't returning once the boys were born so It was fine by me. But I agree with everyone else. If you are unable to arrange something with your job your first priority is your health and the baby.
