Anyone else struggling pregnancy and work?

[PeggyLee123]

I'm due in two months and I'm self employed and in the UK so maternity allowance is not great so I am trying to work whilst I can.

I am just struggling so badly, i had a surge bump wise and I commute in London on public transport and people are so awful, even with my travel "baby on board badge" people rarely give me a seat. I'm just so tired all the time and I have the guilt of working and not resting, worried that i might be damaging my baby.

Also, the hospital appointments, midwife keeping on top of cleaning etc. I just feel overwelmed.

Anyone else in a similar position?

Yup! I'm a self employed dog walker so on my feet all day. I won't get paid if I don't work and want the time off with baby after. So I'm working until I go into labour, 38 weeks tomorrow and hoping she doesn't keep me waiting much longer. House work, 5 year old son, dog walks all day, appointments more regular now. Completely get it!

You won't be damaging baby btw, it's yourself that'll be suffering. it's not fun being self employed sometimes!
