I'm a Cardiac Intensive Care Nurse. Pumping will be challenging for me as well. I often don't get a lunch break let alone pumping breaks every 4 hours. I know it's mandatory by law, but these patients are dang sick and it will be interesting that's for sure!

I work at a psychiatric treatment facility for girls ages 13-17! I usually love it, but it can be a pretty physical job (Sometimes have to put girls in restraints) and that kind of scares me now that I'm expecting!
I'm a SAHM now, but I had a career in wine, spirits and beer sales and more recently spent time in the non-profit sector working at a therapeutic riding center for adults and children with special needs. I miss that a lot. For now, I'm volunteering at a center instead. It's not the same, but I'm getting my fix.
I'm a full-time nanny. I plan to quit when the baby arrives and start nursing school in October. Not sure how it will work completing nursing school with a baby (will be 6-8 weeks when I start) but I recently completed my pre-req's working full time plus doing school full time in evenings and online. This should be interesting.

@Kalidawn523 I've pumped for 3 babies working in a very busy level 4 NICU! It can be done. So thankful for a close knit group of coworkers covering for me when the bewbs were ready to explode. Get a double electric pump and you just get good at pumping quickly!

I quit my public relations tech-startup job in July seeking a new adventure...and boy, did I get one!! My pregnancy was unplanned...and we're thrilled. I've been working since then as a full-time public relations/writing freelancer with a few fantastic regular clients and feel so lucky to have flexibility and to work from home. Makes taking pee breaks 50 times a day much easier!

I work for Verizon Wireless. I'm currently in a call center, I help our small to medium business customers manage their accounts. I worked on the consumer side for 8 years before starting this about 2 months ago. I honestly think it's a big reason why I was finally able to get pregnant. This job is SO much less stressful.
I'm an emergency RN at a large Level 1 Trauma Center. The place is always ridiculous. I'm very nervous about being pregnant in such a busy and fast paced environment. 3 nurses (me included) have had a recent MC and the ones that make it through usually go early and have tiny babies (biggest is 6 that I'm aware of). My dream would be to be a SAHM since this is my first, but there's no way it can happen so I'm starting to apply to less stressful positions.
@Sunshinelady15@jerzegirl201@ckoenig87 DS has been seeing a speech pathologist at school for 4 years now. She has helped him so much! Thank you for doing what you do!
I want to take mucho time off after delivery. Like, 6 months. My job is too damn stressful, and we have enough saved to take the pay hit. Afterwards I would like to return to 80% capacity. No more working 50-60 hour weeks!
I am a photographer. Hoping to go back to school after baby gets here for a business management degree, so maybe, just maybe I can own my own studio one of these days.
