bartender/waitress moms-to-be! I currently bartend & take tables at my work. my shifts are 7-8 hours long but very high pace. I am currently 25 weeks and due May 1st. I was wondering from experience or preference, should I bartend up until I deliver? should I go down to just serving April 1st? or should I just finish off saving the amount of money I need saved then stop working?
@swanson.jacquelyn Didnt need to prep anything. Plus i wanted more time with my baby once they are born. I dont want to go back to work when my baby is 3 weeks old because i took off too early before the baby was born. Just me though. I got to spend 2 plus months with each baby
@swanson.jacquelyn With my son, yes; with my daughter, no. I had plenty of time to prepare for her.
Go off of how you feel. My first pregnancy I worked up until the day I had her. Even worked two days in a row 12 hour shifts just a day before she came lol. Some momma need that break though. This pregnancy I honeestly don’t think I could do half of the stuff I did with my first My body hates me this time haha!
@sassymom @beemommyof3 y'all wish you would have taken time off to prep before the baby came or no?
It all depends on you and your pregnancy. I was a manager at a major theme park when I was pregnant with my son. Not only did I work right up until the end, but the last month we had a huge event going on all month. At nine months pregnant, I was still moving kegs and cases of beer. Fast forward to my pregnancy with my daughter, and it was hard. I had to drop down to minimal shifts every week by my second trimester and ended up on bed rest the last month (morning sickness and swelling were huge factors).
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...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
