I want to put in the time now so that I can relax when LO gets here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-pregnant-ladies-or-moms-working-2-jobs#post-40449 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 07:25:36 +0000 sera_87 40449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work two full time jobs and I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant. I sleep WHENEVER I can - this means my social life is currently at zero, unfortunately. I also don't feel guilty about calling in sick, which I've had to do when I just feel too tired (usually when I have to work a double) and/or nauseated. And my husband has been a rockstar with doing stuff around the house - cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. I just don't have the energy right now.</p> <p>It's not impossible, but I'm not going to lie - it's pretty difficult. But every woman is different with how they experience pregnancy. I would just be gentle with yourself if you need to be. I feel that my first priority has to be the baby and making it through the first trimester, NOT how big (or small) my paycheque is.<br /> Hope that helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-pregnant-ladies-or-moms-working-2-jobs#post-39230 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:04:46 +0000 ecogirl 39230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations on your great work ethic! I think everyone is different so you probably will just have to wing it. Good luck to you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-pregnant-ladies-or-moms-working-2-jobs#post-39222 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:59:50 +0000 winniebee 39222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have 2 jobs, but pretty much work 60 hours a week at my one job (including some weekends) and I'm 17.5 weeks pregnant. It's been exhausting, but you find ways to manage. I plan to try to slow down after the new year and may come back to work 4 days (ie, 40 hours a week) after the baby arrives since my husband is a resident and works 80 hours a week. I have no idea how we'll do it when the baby arrives, but I'm sure we will figure out a way!</p> <p>Good luck TTC!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-pregnant-ladies-or-moms-working-2-jobs#post-39214 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:56:47 +0000 brownie 39214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked a 9 hour a day job and taught crossfit 3 times a week for about 2 hours each time. I also worked out 3 times a week myself. I played in the orchestra 3 hours a week. </p> <p>It is hard because you are tired. Make sure you take some time for yourself and get naps in when you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-pregnant-ladies-or-moms-working-2-jobs#post-39199 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:49:59 +0000 Miss Adia 39199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not impossible. I didn't work while pregnant because I was on bed rest, but I worked two jobs just recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-pregnant-ladies-or-moms-working-2-jobs#post-39191 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:46:02 +0000 Clementine 39191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't work 2 jobs, but I hope you're able to find a good support system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-pregnant-ladies-or-moms-working-2-jobs#post-31667 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:10:17 +0000 anonysquire 31667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I work 2 jobs, I work about 60-70 hours a week. I work at the hospital at night and will most likely be working some hospital day shifts when I start TTC. Is anyone else working 2 jobs pregnant or having kids? Is it impossible? Any help would be appreciated! </p>
