Need Advice! I work night shift (11pm - 7am) as a correctional officer in a prison. I was struggling before I got pregnant with the odd hours and lots of mandatory overtime, but now it's nearly impossible to make it to work! I've missed this entire week and several days in the last few months. I can get FMLA but it only counts for dr. appointments and maternity leave. I have a 3 year old so i only get a few hours of sleep during the days and when i wake up to get ready I have morning sickness so bad that I can't do anything. Then the panic sets in and i start shaking and worrying about how I'm going to pull through an entire night surrounded by criminals who could all try to hurt me and the baby at any second, all while trying not to throw up! I've been applying for other jobs but no luck so far. (It's only been a week.) At my ultrasound yesterday, the baby's heartrate was a little high and my Dr. said I need to relax and try to keep the stress to a minimum. So I guess my question would be, should I go ahead and put my two weeks in now and wait for a less stressful job (my husband has a good income so we would more than likely be fine,) or should I keep trying to tough it out? Any thoughts, suggestions, advice, etc. is greatly appreciated as I've exhausted all of my resources! Thank you!
If you and your husband have talked about it, and you are more then okay with putting in your two weeks. Then I would say do it. Leave on a good note ya know?! It's difficult in that kinda job and it's very important to not stress so much and if the doctor advised it go by it :) hope that helps
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
You should put in your 2 weeks . You have to put your health and the baby's first ! I would put in my 2 weeks and just relax . Pregnancy is no joke & if your stressing that bad that the baby heart beat was a concern to the doctor then yea it's not gonna get better .
