Hi all.

Well have had two months off with morning sickness, and tonight will be my first shift back at the childrens hospital,

I work for agency so i can take time off when i please which is nice, last time i worked i was not even showing, so tonight will be a challenge, hope all the kiddies are asleep.

What jobs do you ladies do and when are you going to go on maternity leave and how are you coping.

Hope your first day back goes well!!

I do temp work (reception stuff mostly). Will simply stop taking jobs when I no longer feel like working and won't be coming back to the job!

im a student nurse in my last year. Im due to qualify on 3rd aug but bubs due on 10th - really want to finish but its hard going!

I'm a support nurse. I work with a 10 year old girl on a ventilator.

im a legal secretary. i'm finding it tough i have to say cos its a busy office with loads of work. i am planning on working up to 2 weeks before i'm due but its going to be hard. i'm shattered from it already!! i took a good few days off at the start when i was really tired and sick. one of the girls in the office is going on maternity leave on friday so its going to be even more busy with her gone

i'm a teacher, i'm finding it hard because you can't just stop and take a rest when you feel a bit over whelmed, it's non stop. i haven't taken any time off yet, which has led other workers to forget that i'm pregnant or think that i'm super woman. i have had to learn to say no to certain things... i quite like saying it now!

Good luck back at work!

I go to college,finishing up my fresman year,it will finish in june,than for my sophmore year I won't attend classes,only take exams and then normally go back to my 3rd year...

I also work in a bookshop 4 days a week and I go on my maternity leave in September,my baby is due in October...

Good luck back to work!!!!

I work 12 hour day and *night* shifts at a coal mine. I am on my feet walking, lifting and climbing ~10 hours out of the day. Anyway I have worked my *last night shift this weekend (doc took me off because I was only sleeping 3-4 hours) and will work on my feet till I can't anymore until safety and/or health reasons become an issue. Hoping I can go to 6 or 7 months and the get accomidated to a front office job Monday-Friday till the day my precious baby is ready to meet to world ~August 21st!

Hi I'm a nurse too in a emergency department planning to go on mat leave 5 weeks before baby is due xx
