Fit/unfit to work

I have been feeling very tired and exhausted this past few weeks due to being on a graveyard shift.. Kulang sa tulog at kain, stress sa paghabol ng stats and so on. Then galing ako sa doctor ko sabi ko hindi ko na kaya magwork sa graveyard.. Sabi nya hindi ka pa pwede magfile ng maternity leave kasi october pa due mo, agad kang babalik sa work if ever. Tiisin mo nalang, ganyan talaga, ang response nya. I am thinking, tama ba na i-sacrifice ang health nating preggy moms para lang pumasok sa work at hintayin ang effective date ng ML? I mean, alam ko naman capacity ko, at hindi ko na talaga kaya ang 1 hour and a half hours na pag-commute at 9 hrs na duty.. I need your advise po.. 27 weeks preggy here..

Ideally, priority dapat ang health nyo, mommy and baby. But the doctor has a point din na di agad pwedeng gamitin ang maternity leave this early kasi once naconsume mo yun, you have to report back to work. Eh crucial din ang makapagpahinga ka nang mabuti after giving birth. So one option would be leave w/o pay (if that is allowed in your company) kung may other sources of income naman. Ayun. So weigh the situation and decide. Good luck, momsh!
