Started a part time job...

I wanted to get out of the house and feel productive so I got a part ttime job at a local store, well today's the first day I'm 5 hours into my shift and my feet hurt so bad I can't believe I have to do this again tomorrow! All I want to do is sit but I don' want to ask bbecause I feel like it would just be wrong to ask that on my first day!

I've been there (but not in such a pregnant state!!) it was hard enough adjusting to a retail position standing all the time never mind being pregnant. The pain went away after a week for me, try to sit a little in the first few days just explain you're not used to being on your feet for so long and you're sure it'll get better! If it doesn't, maybe a call center job or sit down job might be better for you. Good luck!!

I'm sure it will go away, I used to work there about a year ago and I texted my old manager and asked if I could work part time because I wanted out of the house. He knows I'm pregnant and I let him know that it hurts to stand for too long but since it was my first day back I didn't want the other employees wondering why I got special treatment.

Good luck with the next shift and good on you for getting out of the house!
