Work!!

So today at work I got called a "lazy beeotch" because I am working a little slower than normal and didn't do someone else's work. I am a nursing assistant and my job isn't the easiest to do especially being 8 1/2 months pregnant. I am also on restrictions (which my work hasn't honored AT ALL!!) and with that I have a hard time doing things that they want me to do. Has anyone ha issues with their jobs since they've been pregnant or is it just the company I work for? They wanted me to go on maternity leave last week because and I quote "we can't honor light duty because you didn't get hurt at work." My DH, mom, sisters, dad, MIL and SIL all think they (work) are going to make me go into labor early and want me to call the doctor and get on more "strict" restrictions.

Has this person ever experienced pregnancy? Pregnancy is so different for everyone! I'm a FTM and I'm ready to go in about a week now. I'm a hairstylist and after talking to several stylists, they all had different experiences and mine was very difficult. I had a lot of dizziness and a lot of headaches/hard time standing in general. 

I ended up taking early maternity leave because I knew it was right for me. 

You have to do what is right for you, you know what is going on with you, and how you feel. Don't let anyone else tell you how you should be feeling! That isn't fair.

The person that said it has two kids and is pregnant with her third now. She isn't due until September. I've had a great pregnancy until this last month. I popped a rib out last week while working and then Thursday evening I popped it back into place. DH has to put my shoes on, I waddle like crazy, I'm on my feet from 5a-230p everyday, push, pull, bend and lift people/things I shouldn't. My body and baby tells me when I've over done it but my work tells me otherwise. I guess I'm just getting frustrated, nervous, anxious, excited, tired and any other pregnancy emotions there are right now.
