Not me, personally (I worked a desk job so I was sitting most of the day), but my mom was a stylist when she was pregnant w/my younger brother. She was on her feet for 8+ hours a day until the very end. She said it was super tiring and she has no idea how she survived, but she thinks it may have helped her with a quick labor because she stayed so active.

Not my everyday job luckily, but I am a part time photographer which is very physical. I canceled all the weddings I had booked around the time of my delivery, and didn't book any new weddings from 5 months on. I'm also not going to go back to shooting weddings for 2 months after because I'm worried about being on my feet for 8-10+ hrs and carrying all that stuff before I'm totally healed.

I have a desk job, so didn't have any problems, but my MW wrote me a note saying I had to work from home starting at 35 weeks. She thought my commute and office environment were too stressful.

Do you have a colleague you can trade services with? Getting a massage once a week would do so much for the pain you are having (as you very well know!).

I'm in sales and make appointments to show potential clients my products. Schlepping that stuff is heavy and taxing on the body. I gave myself a cut-off time of at 36 weeks to stop carrying the heavy stuff and trailing off appointments. I'm glad, because that week I noticed way more pressure in my pelvis and its hard to walk.
