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

Hi I was also a preschool teacher and actually found out I was pregnant slightly before I resigned. Honestly my initial thoughts to resign was to take a one or two months break before going back. But after finding out about my pregnancy and discussing with my husband, we made the decision for me to just stop working for now. Reasons being the nature of the job and the stress it gave me even before resigning, its really not easy taking the playgroup class in our current situation cause of how the job nature is. And like what everyone here encouraged, ultimately do what's good for you, baby and family.
