Nature of work

Almost same situation as yours, but I am still in first trimester (11 weeks) and handling projects on renovation works. Need to go construction site and frequent walking ard campus. And construction site also got work risk, I am thinking to resign cos it’s a very stressful job plus we have shortage of manpower. I also had minor spotting during week 7-8 too. Before this I had a loss last year too. I even tot of taking sabbatical leave for one to two months to rest cos I got depression n anxiety issues. My Hr advise if I could apply for hospitalisation leave instead so I could still be paid for the period tt I need to rest. But even after tt I still have to go back and face the stressful work and plus a not so nice boss. Sometimes I also think tt our mental health is so impt den money. Need to let go and family is more impt now at this stage. It’s a hard decision, cos also need to consider finances.

hey mummy! i feel you! i was an educarer too. i only conceived th moment i quit my job. stress level is too high in that ctr (after a year trying) and my husband doesn't allow me to work ever since. you know your body better. if you cannot manage with th stress, the mental health from parents, RO, colleagues thn its good to leave.. dont want to affect your baby.. you can go back to work once youre done with maternity or whenever you are ready.. work from home is a good idea. but why night shift tho? (long term, after giving birth, you will be deprived of sleep.. what more when you gotta get up to feed your baby every 2 hourly? you will definitely wanna sleep too at night)

Hi I was also a preschool teacher and actually found out I was pregnant slightly before I resigned. Honestly my initial thoughts to resign was to take a one or two months break before going back. But after finding out about my pregnancy and discussing with my husband, we made the decision for me to just stop working for now. Reasons being the nature of the job and the stress it gave me even before resigning, its really not easy taking the playgroup class in our current situation cause of how the job nature is. And like what everyone here encouraged, ultimately do what's good for you, baby and family.

hi mummy i got my current job last 2021.i working in a fine dine restaurant and its really tiring.I having a miscarriage because of my stress coz my job not that simple.My husband and me really upset. I work for 1year again to move on and rest.last year we try again to conceive,Thank God for giving us a chance ,so that time my husband decided to stop me from working.He told me that he do want to go through again what happened in the past years.And i am happy to resign of my work thanks for my supporting husband.Now im currently on my 30weeks of pregnancy and can't wait to hold and see our baby🙂.

I think just do what you feel is best for your body, and your baby. I quit my high-stress accounting job to embark on fertility treatments (the hormone meds made my mental state quite haywire and it was really difficult to cope with high job stress as well, along with other physical side effects). Thankfully my husband was supportive. So I thought, if I need lower stress environment for fertility treatment, I guess it will be even more important to lower your stress when you are pregnant. All the best to you!

hello! im 9 weeks pregnant and am educarer myself. just had a massive breakdown last week because i was too stress. Im pg teacher too and managing 8 toddlers alone in class most of the time is really insane. now still deciding if i shuld continue working or quit for the safety and health of the baby. 😌

I left my job too after finding out I was pregnant. Hubby was supportive thankfully. Spent my days more relaxed and happy for sure. Will be going back to the workforce 2-3 mths I after deliver…

I quit my job at 22 weeks because the culture was toxic and stressful for me mentally. You have to do what is best for you and your baby.

do what is best for u coz ur emotional wellbeing matters a lot too! all the best 💕

the night shift may also affect how you feel throughout your pregnancy.
