Hey guys,
I work in nursing and end of life in a care home. I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant and really struggling. I've been put on "light duties" although if your job is similar to mine you'll know there's not really such a thing as light duties in a care home. I'm meant to do 3 residents a day max which I've been coping with recently quite well but today someone called in sick so it was me and one other lady to do 15 residents. It's really heavy work.. and I've been in so much pain in my lower stomach going into the top of my thighs and lower back, I've taken two doses of paracetamol but still feeling it. My manager has said she will be doing my risk assessment for weeks, but still hasn't. I'm just wondering if anyone else has worked in the same job role or similar whilst pregnant and what helped you?
