I am curious.. how many of you Moms are working? Are you planning on doing it right up until your due date? or how soon before are you taking a leave?
I am a supervisor in a restaurant so on my feet most of the day. Due September 8 and I wanted to go until baby arrived but honestly it's not worth it. You need your rest. I asked for a dr note at my appointment on Tuesday so I'm officially off work with only 3 weeks until d day
Thank you!! Thats a great idea. Are there any you would recommend? I am definitely in need of new shoes. ☺
Hope you can find some relief, shoes too make a big difference. Get yourself some good running shoes with support :)
Thank you! I am looking into both of those things as we speak. I need to do something.. because by the end of the day I can barely walk and am in so much pain I am having trouble sleeping. I have arthritis in my lower back and hip flexor issues, thinking it may be because of that. I am hoping it doesn't get worse as the baby gets bigger but figure it might.
Prenatal yoga and regular massages have been fabulous for keeping my body going.
I'm a massage therapist so I'm also on my feet all day. I have definitely had to make changes to my schedule by putting longer breaks between clients but I can't say that it's become unbearable. However I am very stubborn and just work through discomfort all the time, I was in denial for a long time that I developed carpal tunnel with the pregnancy until the dr confirmed it and made a couple suggestions but I just can't imagine having to stop working before I plan to.
Are you finding it difficult working this close to due date? I am having pain in my back and legs from being on my feet all day.. Curious, if that gets worse or stays about the same..
I am working until the middle of September which gives me about 4 weeks till babies due date.
Are you finding it difficult working? May I ask what you do? I am a hairstylist and my body is hurting badly!! Was curious if thats how it is for all of us.. I am due in December and am hoping to make it till the middle of October at the very least. But I just don't know if I can do it.
Congrats Mama! ❤ It must be exciting being so close. To me it still feels like I have forever. Lol
Rest, whats that? 😜 Enjoy your time getting the final preparations together. Do you feel prepared? or like there is still alot to do?
