I know! Its impossible to quiet your mind sometimes. I take bubble baths every now and then as suggested by my doc but that doesnt really help either. I think work has a lot to do with it too, it has had me really stressed out. I am going to talk to my doc on tuesday and see if she will let me start working only 32 hours a week instead of 40 and see if that helps.

LOL at least you can take a bubble bath... I would be to afraid I would get a UTI . I went down to 32 hours last month. I think it's helped but I know the further along I get that I will have to cute my hours more =/

What do you do? Did your doc have to give you a note or did your work just let you? Im kinda scared to ask my doc for a note cause I dont want her to think Im a wussy and I cant work while prego, so many women I have talked to have worked up to their due date, but I know thats not going to be the case for me!

I just told my work theres just no way I can work that much. I had taken a few sick days just in December alone. They were understanding thank goodness. Probably because I work with all girls. I did have to get a doctors note to take my 12 weeks FMLA though. I guess the Washington state requires it though it's nice because you get some good time off and still are guaranteed your job back. I'm sure your doctor would be more then happy to write you a note to work less hours. Especially if you are standing~ the bigger you get the harder it is to be on your feet all day.

Im hoping she will be ok with it. For me its not only standing its bending over when I shampoo people, I take 10 or 11 a day sometimes and its about 5 min to shampoo each because I do a scalp massage so thats a lot of hunching, its starting to kill my back! I know I have to have the note for maternity leave but I wasnt sure if in WA it was required to change hours and what not either. I just have a strict job I guess!

What part of WA are you in?

We are from the Puyallup area but have recently moved to Kent. Are their any girls at your salon who have had babies?? You should see what they did to get off work because theres no way you will be able to work 40 hours a week when your not sitting. Thinking about it kills my feet LOL!
