Just laying in bed with some third trimester insomnia and cannot switch my brain off!
I'm laying here concerning myself over a shift at work I have next week which seems silly I know. I work with young people with severe and complex special needs and challenging behaviours and next week I am leading a large group into London to go to the science museum. When we go I will be just under 32 weeks pregnant - I am concerned that this is going to be a bit much on me! Considering I struggled to stand for around an hour in Mamas and papas earlier without my bump and back starting to ache.... Thing is I told my boss this and she said she didn't mind doing the shift for me (in a kind of if I have to manner) but has rota'd me in anyway.
Am I just being a bit over dramatic in thinking it will be a bit of a hard long day to do at 32 weeks pregnant or am I just being a bit of a wimp and should just suck it up and do it?
I don't want to appear moany or lazy/trying to get out of shifts when I there's no reason I shouldn't do them... I have heard the way my boss has spoken about another colleague at work who was pregnant and she felt she used it as an excuse for everything! I don't want her to think I'm doing this too, I just feel that I may struggle a bit!
Is my tired brain over thinking this way too much?
