Yes. I work in a warehouse and normally lift, push, pull, climb stairs, etc...the further I got the less I could keep up so the doctor put me on restrictions and the job had to follow.

Yes i work at a fast food restaurant as an assistant/general manager. after being hospitalized for preterm contractions my doctor put me on light duty "sitting only" and my supervisor agreed to it.

Which is hard to do in such a busy place but i would rather not be put on bed rest the rest of my pregnancy so i try to stay in office...lol

I manage a very small school for the most extreme behaved teenagers in the county and don't feel particularly  safe around a few of them. One in particular. After an incident last week I asked if I could possibly work from home 2 mornings a week when this particular lad is in school. The head teacher has said no and won't amend my duties at all. I feel like he was pushing me to take early maternity now. I'm not!!!

Yes. I am a Social Worker and we are receiving numerous amounts of intakes which consist of about 40 cases a month, which is overwhelming. Since I further alone, my supervisor reduced my case load to 1/2. He thought that would be the best thing since I will be going on leave soon and does not want other Social workers taking on my work.
