3 year old preschool/day care teacher. When baby comes, I will SAH. I actually have my elementary ed degree and probably could have had a full time, better paying teaching job this year, but since I was always planning to quit after we had a baby, we decided it wasn't worth the stress.
I'm a voice actor. I do voiceovers for television and commercials. I used to do that full time before having my baby, but now I just pick up a job or two a week. I've pretty much transitioned to FT SAHM.
I am a pediatric physical therapist full time... Working with NICU graduates, at the children's hospital, and in homes with kids with special needs, delays, or injuries. Rehabbing little ones in their homes is great- I do my own schedule and can wear scrubs or yoga pants to play/treat
I am an allergy specialist in a primary care facility working towards becoming a physician assistant. I would love to eventually be a sahm, but it won't be in the cards for a few more years.
I am a cardiac RN. I would love to be a SAHM after baby arrives, but DH and I sat down and did the math and there is no way we can survive without at least a part of my income. (Stupid student loans!!) That being said, I work 12 hour shifts and will go part-time and probably work mostly nights so we can avoid the cost of daycare.
I work for a large beverage company in a marketing/sales role. It's ok, a bit stressful given that I'm not an extroverted personality. I'm really hoping to someday work part time, but it's not the right time. Also hoping we'll be able to arrange grandma daycare some of the time... Not sure how that'll go.
@AccioKittyCat I'm also an atty. This pregnancy, new as it is, has been an absolute disaster work-wise. I've been so so sick (24/7 nausea, no relief so far from two prescription trials) and can't take time off bc I maxed out my PTO doing fertility treatments. Do you have billable minimums? PM me if you like - trying to find a way through this that keeps my job intact! I can't bill for staring at the computer screen trying not to barf.

I'm a photographer. Since I own my own business I'll be taking off quite a bit of time, August - January...with the exception of 1 wedding and I'm sure a few sessions here and there. It'll be unpaid unfortunately, but totally worth it to be able to relax during the end of my 3rd trimester and spend lots of time with my LO!
I work as a Marketing Consultant for an international consulting company. I actually started only 2 weeks after I got the BFP, but luckily, I qualify for our maternity leave after 6 mos of employment.
I work full time as a warehouse clerk at a shipping warehouse. I planned on getting into teaching soon (my Bachelor's degree is in Elementary Education), but we got our BFP a few weeks after I received my teaching certificate in the mail.
I hope to be able to be a SAHM one our LO is here.

I work with Adults with Developmental Disabilities in their home. There are 8 adults living in a four plex with varying needs and I help them with everything from packing lunches and going on shopping trips to basic hygiene and med administration. It's a tough and sometimes gross job, but it's super rewarding and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I get to know that every day I work I make a difference in their lives.
I teach 8th grade Algebra. I love my job. Up to this point, my husband and my career have been the two most important things in my life. In about 30 weeks, that's all about to change :-)

Will most likely go part time once baby arrives
