I hate being pregnant and working 8 hour shifts on my feet

Back hurts, feet hurt, knees hurt. I get to do it tomorrow too.

It probably wasn't the best idea to have a child when your financial situation doesn't allow you to take maternity leave.

@TheGreatLeveler wasn't exactly expected or wanted

@seashells Up to a certain point there are ways to handle an unwanted pregnancy.

Why don't you take time out on maternity leave? Other pregnant women do.

@NankerPhelge I need money. I'm not even 5 months yet

@seashells Have a word with the manager in the next couple of weeks, and good luck with it.

I’m sorry it must be really uncomfortable. Is there no way they’ll let you sit for part of it?

Its F-up I used to see this young woman at this store that was really preggo and she had to work 8 hr shifts - I guess she had the kid BC she is thinner and still working. It sucks that your husband or BF can not provide enough $$ for you to be a stay at home mom when the kid arrives - I am assuming.
