work/bending

[clairebear]

hello are there any other pregnanct mummies who have job which require a lot of bending and crouching/ leaning over.

i work in a nursery in the 2-3's room and am still changing nappies which i am doing on the floor. this past week it has begun to feel uncomfortable and i was wondering if anyone eles did a similar job and if they were finding it hard to bend over on thier knees to change nappies. thinking of asking if i can stop doing nappies as it feels like im squising bump into me xx

I am on my feet all day and have to bend down and reach upto things all day, I keep get little shooting pains down there though when I do though so I have decided to stop

i'm a teacher and i posted something similiar to this a few days ago. i think that you get to a point where you feel you're doing too much? i don't think you should be one the floor doing nappies for too much longer?? although if you already had a little one in nappies and were pregnant again, what would you do? could you just not do them on the floor? maybe you have to though.

I work in IT and in the past has involved alot of bending over to check Pc cables etc but now I tend not to.
I tell people what cables they need to check/insert now & most of them do understand & offer to do it anyway!
