Working...

When is the ideal time to stop working for me!?!
I'm 30 weeks pregnant and everytime I'm there I'm miserable and get super depressed and stressd out... Nothing at home is done for the baby, like the nursery, the clothes, nothing. I work at McDonald's and it's a super crappppy job to have while pregnant...
My baby's father isn't helping me around the house so I'm constantly workin full time coming home and cleaning and doing little things to prepare us...  
I also have really bad swelling in my feet.. And I have gallstones so being around McDonald's isn't good cause sometimes i crave it nd if I eat it I'll have an attack... While I'm working I don't even feel baby witch scares me I feel like my stress makes her not wanna move :(
Any advice on when I should be done working!?!
Thanks in advance

Well my doc will put me off whenever I want to go off she already told me because it's so stressful on me, she thinks I shoulda stopped along time ago because their so rude to me since I've been pregnant.

Idk where you live but in california they wont put you on leave until 36 weeks paid or not. I had to quit at 32 weeks since my doctor wouldn't put me off

I work at dollar general and have only 23 days left until my due date . I guess it all depends on your job situation . I really enjoy my job . Not hard work at all . Everyone has their own experience . I plan on working right on up until the baby comes

I feel it all depends on when you feel its two much i am 31+3  weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old  i just started working a 12 hour shifts at a warehouse about three weeks ago. Its hard on my feet but i quite my last job in may and felt depressed  being at home and feeling like i was helping my fiance finacially so i wanted a job. I usually dont feel my daughter move throughout the day i think it may be all the movement cus she is very active at night.! Your body will definatly tell you when its had enough i plan on working till the last day i can mentally but physically i may not be able too. I also have gullstones and worked at mcdonalds before so i know that would not be my ideal pregnancy job.! Good Luck

I quit providing childcare at 23 weeks this time. With my first I quit sooner due to the fact I was horribly sick and one of the children I watched had serious behavioral issues that caused him to be violent.
