How many women are working pregnant?

I know my limit but I'm a workaholic. I am to afraid not to work and even more afraid to quit my part time job. So much foolishness is going on at my full time job I feel like I have to keep a back up. I'm just to tired to keep working both. I'm exhausted and my feet are killing me. I work part time at target and a claims examiner full time monday through friday. Lately I've been working OT about 15-20hr over to train the girl taking my place while I'm on leave and catching up on with.

I worked about 48 hours a week at a casino and on my feet  for 8 hours with only one 30 minute break until I was 37 weeks. I felt perfectly fine with it.

My phone went crazy and I didn't even know that this was posted. I want even finished. Well I decided to let hr know at my part time job nit to schedule me anymore. I have a desk job during the day but sitting there is starting to become less comfortable now. So I'm counting down my days cause I can't take pain or how quickly I give out of breath. I've only gained 16 lbs so I don't know why its such a struggle.

I am working and I'm 23+3 with twins.  It's hard but for me I have no choice.   I am going to try to work up till my birth but my dr may have to take me off for good :(

Sorry to hear that. I work full time but I'v got a desk job so it makes things easier. I have those days when I wish I were at home instead of at work but working helps me kill time and focus less on the worries and discomforts of pregnancy. Also I get bored easily so work is a good way to constantly keep my mind occupied.
Good luck to you; hope it gets better. ):
