I'm a VJ working at a festival and will be 24 weeks pregnant
Am I insane? Niche question for any female VJs if you're out there. I do live visuals for events and have done this festival in August twice before. I will be able to sit down the entire time. My shifts last year were.
- Thursday 16:00-00:00
- Friday 15:00-04:00
- Saturday 15:00-04:00
- Sunday 13:30-00:00
Obviously I'm thinking there's no chance I can/should work until 4am, and am looking to find cover on friday/saturday 11pm-4am. But is working outside in a field for 8 hours for 4 days in a row stupid? Its under shade, not in full sun.
and of course its a LOUD place... I mean we're at the back so not NEXT to the speakers but of course its a festival...
I will have to take steps to make sure I don't sleep in a tent: hotel or camper van for sure as I got cold last year, and I'm already peeing like 5 times a night at 10 weeks.
I hear you have lots of energy at 24 weeks.. I mean surely loads of women have to work intensely and manage it?
Thanks for any tips!
