Feeling so emotional today thinking about going to work. I'm getting so big and uncomfortable and I'm a bartender/waitress in a fast paced environment... it's just getting hard to keep up and I feel like everyone hates me for not being as fast as I used to be. I don't even want to show my face tonight. ugh.

Completely understand. I had to stop bartending completely and strictly serve because it was too demanding and the hours were LONG. And the way my jobs bar is set up isn't ideal. I found myself constantly crushing my belly on the coolers trying to give customers their drinks and food.

It's very upsetting because I'm the bar lead and have always been kind of a bad ass working the volume shifts.... it's not that I can't keep up its that I'm not as fast as I once was(still probably quicker than most non pregnant bartenders) and I feel nobody understands or wants to be patient. I don't want to switch to just serving because I've personally built up my bar crowd and would be taking a huge pay cut. I just feel kind of stuck.

I feel that. I am in the same boat. But a few extra weeks ahead. You'll adapt and if they see your pregnant they should understand. I've had customers tell me to slow down. Lol. And make more money now! They laugh when my belly can't reach by the bar. Try not to let it get to you, it'll only hurt you more. Try your hardest and you'll be fine!

Thanks @shai think it's more me being hard on myself than everyone else. I'm sure you right I just need to adjust!

You will, it takes time. I went through the same thing a few weeks ago too, but then the other bartender who was pregnant a few years snapped me out of it. Haha. It is definitely an adjustment and you aren't used to it. Just try your best and do you and you'll be okay :) they will be okay and if not too bad!
