working mommies

I am a ftm at 10 weeks and I am an esthetician.. I give facials and work 6 days a week which can be really tiring and exhausting. What do you guys do? And for mommies that have been pregnant before at what week did you stop working before birth?! I'm not sure how long I will be able to perform facials and am debating finding a job at a front desk for now and working only a couple days a week as an esthetician.

The first trimester was hardest for me. Always tired, felt like I couldn't get any energy no matter what I did. I'm a housekeeper on average I clean 20 rooms a day, I pull in about 60 hours every 2 weeks. It's very exhausting but I manage. I'm hoping to be switched to something easier and work up til my due date.

Just listen to your body...if you feel you need to cut back and do it because you don't want to end up with complications the further you get along. If I start getting aches and pains that are too much for me then I will defintely let them know that I need a break.

I'm 21w2d ftm as of yet my pregnancy has been great, hardly any symptoms. I work for a doctors office doing front desk stuff.  4 days 10 hrs. I'm planning to go as far as my body can handle. Here at work they are very family oriented and will understand if I'm not able to stay longer.
