What do you do?  

post #1 of 55
Thread Starter 
As far as your days? Do you work? Do you stay at home? Do you go to school?


I am a full-time college student so no work for me! This baby will be due around the time I will be starting my LAST semester of my senior year. I'm really hoping I can pick up some summer classes to lighten my load, and then I'm probably going to take the baby to school with me for the first couple of weeks.

I'm a stay at home mom to one who is in school, so I'm going to relish my free time for the next eight months since it'll be my last for a few years.

After my DD was born I went from a full-time position working in a library to a part-time position. I was supposed to start back at 75% time in September but it looks like now I will be on maternity leave.

I own a baby product company, but have people that do most of the work for me. Although eight now we are closing on a big deal so things are busy for me. I am also a baby photographer, which I do anywhere from 2-5 days a week. I am a prenatal yoga teacher and a birth doula. So I am home a lot, but my life never gets boring

I was in my last semester of my master's in psychology when I had ds. I think that was a lot harder then what I will face this time. But I was able to take him to school, so that was good.

I'm a prosecutor. Generally, I love my job. It is a bit high stress, so I probably will go part time for awhile after my baby is born.

Right now, I am preparing for a trial that is set for Tuesday and also wondering how I will make it through the day without a million trips to the bathroom! I haven't told any of our judges yet about my pregnancy, but I may have to on Monday so I can beg for some extra recesses!

Any thoughts on how to curb my bladder? If I stop drinking water, I get terrible headaches, but if I drink water, I have to run to the bathroom every hour.

Aleatha, I think other than going a la astronaut with the depends, you'd be best to just drink your water and run to the potty. It should get better in a few weeks.

I SAH with my kid and work very part-time (mainly from home with the occasional meeting and whatnot around town) for a local non-profit that focuses in PPD support. I also do volunteer work on the days my kid is with my mom.

I'm currently a full-time metals student, but I'm going to switch to a part-time program so I can cut back on shop exposure while preggers and so I can work some more catering gigs to start bringing in extra income.

I work part time for my BIL as his secretary... next door and it's baby friendly! We are a seasonal company, so I'm off from December to April. I will make it through this season and then I am hoping to just be at home with my kids. We'll see.
