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

hey mummy! i feel you! i was an educarer too. i only conceived th moment i quit my job. stress level is too high in that ctr (after a year trying) and my husband doesn't allow me to work ever since. you know your body better. if you cannot manage with th stress, the mental health from parents, RO, colleagues thn its good to leave.. dont want to affect your baby.. you can go back to work once youre done with maternity or whenever you are ready.. work from home is a good idea. but why night shift tho? (long term, after giving birth, you will be deprived of sleep.. what more when you gotta get up to feed your baby every 2 hourly? you will definitely wanna sleep too at night)
