It's hard doing 12 hour shifts whilst pregnant! Feel so rubbish!! :/

I know the feeling I did 16 hour shifts until I went on mat leave at 29 weeks!

Everyone's telling me to reduce my hours but I simply can't afford it! I'll be working right until the end I bet 😓

The first trimester is quite tiring. You'll start to feel more like yourself soon. I always found the first trimester hardest when working lol.

I'm in my second trimester now lol I'm further ahead than I thought, 13 weeks today xxx

Im 17 weeks tomorrow. And i do 12 hour shifts !! They are soo tiring and feet kill afterwards. But i cant just stop xause i need the money and cant change the days to do shorted hours because i work two jobs. So impossible. Hope your pregnancy is going well so far ?x

Yeah or it's either do shorter shift and more days! Which I'm not bothered about lol I feel much better in my self, the sickness has pretty much gone!! But I still feel tired and not that much energy at the minute haha I'm still waiting for that bit! 😂 Xx

I no the feeling I use do 11-12 hour shifts with hardly no sleep bad sickness and got depression through it... I went on maternity leave early I had go doctors and everything x take care of ur self x

@19steph89 I'm sorry to hear that hun :( did you work in a hospital by any chance? My manager knows I'm pregnant too and keeps putting me with violent patients, I feel like I'm complaining all the time at the minute lol! Xx

No I didn't work in a hospital duck... it was a desk job constantly on the phone even eat ur lunch at ur desk and my back was in hurrendous pain also having spd was just a nightmare but was all worth it... just don't do too much u need rest couldn't u cut ur hours down a bit? X

I might cut my make up shifts out. Yeah can imagine, when I sit down for a while my back aches too! Couldn't imagine being pregnant and doing it 😔 it's crap when management don't really support you either! Xxx
