work work work. ugh!

Im 29 weeks along today and everything is getting so hard! Just everyday things like getting dressed and sleeping is my worst enemy! I run a pizzeria and it requires me to be on my feet alot. I sit down as much as possible but it seems as though everytime i do, im getting right back up. Its getting to the point i cant take it, its making me literally miserable. From getting up and down and working i have such severe back pain that it puts me in tears. I dont know what to do! Help

Have you tried a belly support? You can find them at babies r us for fairly cheap. I loooove mine. It helps tremendously for me...  I work at Starbucks and I am.the.same as you... Miserable... And in tears... It goes in waves for me. I have a few good days and then some.horrible days.

I feel bad for you ladies. I mean I was a mechanic in the military and am used to hard work, now I'm a stay at home wife thankfully. I can't even imagine how you ladies that work go through all of this?! I am miserable! I cook, and clean every day and take care of 3 dogs and if I had to work I don't know how I would handle it. I think they should allow pregnant women to take leave at least at 30 weeks and pay for it. After all there are women that dont work at all and get Help from welfare so I think hard working women should be able to take a paid leave of absence because making a baby is a hard process.
