Bad to be on my feet for 8-12 hours? My back, hips and legs are already killing me but my fiance thinks that i will be okay(he is super insensitive) since i am only going to be 5 months is he right?

    We ll all the girls at work had done it til they had the baby and i plan to do it too. It think its a matter on how much ppl can take. If your boss lets you fo home half days jump on it. It is good to be off your feet still

    If your sore or tired...take a break...you shouldn't exhaust yourself just because someone else says you'll be ok...noone knows your body better than you...

    Yes its ok. For me it made my second labor and delivery so much easier

    Well my fiance is my boss and he wants me to stay working as long as i can because all he is worried about right now is saving money not about my health....idk i guess i will just stick it out ladies thanks :)

    Make sure u have good support in ur shoes ...my sister got varacose veins in her VA Jay Jay from being on her feet on a cement floor... she said they hurt pretty bad

    I'd invest in a pair if skechers work shoes and super feet inserts. Feels like walking on marshmallows :) That's what saved me at my last two jobs!

    Ugh @mommy2audrey and @VictoriaB i cant wear comfy shoes...where i work is really wet so i have to wear these big ugly black boots that almost go up to my knees..and they are way to big because they only come in mens sizes. I tryed inserts but they NEVER stay in place i have probably spent like over $150 on damn inserts!
  • mommy2audreymommy2audrey
    Ahh I know how u feel! I work in a shop nd I have to wear men's steel toe boots ... I guess try to put ur feet up on ur breaks maybe go down to half time soon then see if that helps... I had my ob write a note saying I should stop working. That was at 33 weeks tho, I didn't want my water breaking at work!

    I want my water to break at work! O have carpeting in my apartment. Besides, I don't want to clean it up :p

    Put your feet up when you can. Keep a pillow to sit on, too.

    I waited tables with my first and had a friend who was about a month ahead of me who was preggers too. I told my doc that I was on my feet all the time lifting trays etc. He wrote a letter requiring that I get a mandatory 15 min break every four hours. I made sure to take my break and worked til my due date. My friend didn't insist and went into early labor they put her on bed rest from about 6 months on. If I were in ur shoes I would see what ur doc says and follow it regardless of ur BD manager

    I work at a hospital and work 12 hour shifts and am 5 months it's starting to get uncomfortable but I'm going to work up until I go into labor unless the dr says different. I can't afford to not.
