on break at work

I'm only 6 weeks and it feels like I'm ready to pop. I'm sooo exhausted and dreading the last ten mins of my break lol. Who else is working during pregnancy and when do you plan on leaving?

I guess it depends on the work that you do. Personally I'm a front office assistant for a Dr office so my work isnt as bad as these ladys although I do work 4 10 hr days.

I'm 34+3 and still working. My back has started to hurt and just recently noticed my feet swelling up. I plan on working til she decides to come. My job is starting to take a toll on me tho. I'm a dog groomer, and some days bending over to pick a dog up (even if its a small one) is starting to become a challenge.lol just taking it day by day.

I'm 22w tomorrow and I'm still working. I work verypart time with shifts no longer than 6 hours cause I'm on my feet. I take more breaks to eat and rest but I work in a salon with a bunch of women who are all mommies so they know what's up. :)
