Early disability help!!

in November 2014 Moms
Hi everyone,
I am in need of some advice! I currently am 29 weeks pregnant and am very tiny boned. I work as a nanny for a 20lb 7 month old who is very very needy and just wants me to hold her all the time and sit with her on the floor. My body hurts so bad while I'm holding her or sitting on the floor. Doctor says is round ligament pain and because I'm so tiny boned my body I having trouble supporting my child weight. Was rushed to labor and delivery the other day because they thought I was in premature labor but turns out just contractions for no reason. I am starting to realize that I'm hurting because of hold this 20lb child! Has anyone ever got accepted for disability for round ligament pain? To the point where I just don't know what to do! Thanks y'all!

    Disability qualification is determined by your doctor ... There's no getting accepted for anything. If your doctor sees it necessary that you can no longer work for the health and well being of your prefnsncy then they would be the ones to approve that paperwork once you file. I've never heard of anyone going out on leave early she to RLP specifically but certainly consult with your doctor if this is something you need to do.

    It would be different if these were my children and my body was use to it but I just recently started this job so my body is not use to it. Just trying to figure out the best solution.

    I am in the US. And I am paid as a normal household employee so I get taxes taken out of my checks and for the last year at previous job I paid into it also so I know I can qualify that way. See doctor tomorrow hopefully we can figure out a plan to make things easier for me. Thanks y'all!:)

    I am In California as well and have been on disability since 21 weeks due to preterm labor issues. It's just a matter of if your doctor sees it necessary to take you out from work due to your curent pregnancy conditions.
