Nature of work

Hello Mummies! I am a childcare teacher and currently looking playgroup (18-24months) .. I have realised that Im easily stressed due to their crying and sudden changes in their behaviour. There will be times that we need to carry the kids as well because some are new kids and need comfort from us. During my 1st trimester, my pregnancy was quite sensitive and I often had spotting. That’s when I decided I needed to resign. I felt like the routine and stuff in my current job won’t be healthy for me and my baby. I just want to ask if there some of you who also decided to stop working due to the nature of their work? I’m still like having a second thoughts about what I did because some people say you’ll feel better once you passed 1st trimester. Now Im 17 weeks but the routine in my current job makes me really tired. Need to bend down most of the times to play with kids, wash poop, carry when they’re crying, emotional stress and other things. Im planning to work from home job but it is going be night shift. Are there anyone who also work during night time? How are u and ur baby? #firstbaby #firsttimemom

Almost same situation as yours, but I am still in first trimester (11 weeks) and handling projects on renovation works. Need to go construction site and frequent walking ard campus. And construction site also got work risk, I am thinking to resign cos it’s a very stressful job plus we have shortage of manpower. I also had minor spotting during week 7-8 too. Before this I had a loss last year too. I even tot of taking sabbatical leave for one to two months to rest cos I got depression n anxiety issues. My Hr advise if I could apply for hospitalisation leave instead so I could still be paid for the period tt I need to rest. But even after tt I still have to go back and face the stressful work and plus a not so nice boss. Sometimes I also think tt our mental health is so impt den money. Need to let go and family is more impt now at this stage. It’s a hard decision, cos also need to consider finances.

That’s right. The reason why I still would like to find another WFH job is to at least have some benefits during my maternity leave.
