I'm 9.5 months pregnant and working a physical job still
I work as a housekeeper. I bend over a billion times a shift, make beds, clean showers, push around a heavy cart, walk a bunch, etc. It's a lot even when not pregnant. I worked normal without asking for accommodations up until 7 months pregnant. This is when I was bursting out of my size small uniform and I had to actually yell my frustrations to my boss for not ordering me a maternity shirt. That's when I asked to stop cleaning the giant jacuzzi tubs because I had slipped in one. 2 months later I asked to stop cleaning the party rooms because they were too much for me. All the while being told I'm asking for too much and that my team is mad at me for not taking on more (bs). I'm just about 38 weeks pregnant now and I had just as many rooms as everyone else today and worked a 9 hour shift without breaks or lunch. I've advocated for myself over and over only to be guilt tripped so I just stopped trying. I'm sore, exhausted, and hurt that I thought a department full of women would be more kind to me.
Gosh I wish I could just quit or go on maternity leave right now but I want those 12 weeks with baby so I persevere.
