I'm so at odds right now on what to do! I'm an xray/CT tech at a hospital. We are really busy but its a small hospital so we have to do all the moving/transporting of pts on our own. When I'm sitting down doing the computer work I'm fine but if I get up to do the rest of my job my belly tightens all up and the pelvic pains start, etc. I watch my 2 year old during the day and have been trying my best to do housework and get the babys room compleated so by the time I even get to work at 3pm I'm exhausted. I get 12 weeks leave from work and I'm debating on going ahead and taking off so I can get more done at home and not work all night with a contracted belly. I'm due march 28th. What do ya'll think? Using some of my time before I deliver so I'm not as miserable or should I tough it out and risk going into early labor?

If your totaly wiped go out early. Try to make it another week or two if you can but its a lot harder with two. I get six weeks after and have the option of 6 befor, but only with a dr note saying I need to be out. So for me I would want as much time with my new baby as possible. But I also took off a couple weeks early so I could have some one on one with my son befor the baby. Also to try to get some stuff done, and get a lil more sleep!! So really depends on how bad your feeling. I would tak off closer to March unless you really feel its dangerous for you..

Thanks for the advice. Lite duty would be possible if we had more than just me but if I only did computer work no exams would get done.
