Scared to work

[danielle123]

I had a m/c last year in August. I am now 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I work in a daycare. It's considered part-time but I am now working 830-5 everyday. It might not sound tough, but i'm constantly bending over to pick up toys, lift kids which are heavy. I'm just scared that all the stress from the kids and heavy lifting might cause me to lose this baby too. Whenever I lift a child or bend over to pick up toys I get mild cramps. I'm not sure if there from that or just my uterus stretching. Just curious if I should ask to take it easy or just continue on doing my job and not worry?

I wouldn't worry. Our bodies are a lot stronger than we think. Once you get to be 6 or 7 months I'd say it isn't a good idea to be bending and lifting. I'm in a similar situation but I don't really have a choice not to work so I'll hope for the best
