I'm quite similar to Lucy in that I'm an engineer on a production facility.
I had hungover morning sickness - ie I felt like i had a hangover until about week 14-15?? I had alot of trouble eating, and after a few weeks of trying to sneak out to get food when I could eat it, I told my boss. So it was about 10 weeks I guess.
I am very active on the site - similarly to lucy steel caps, noisy environment, ladders, steps etc, and really your body will let you know when its had enough.
I wa able to play netball til 19 weeks too, and it was really only about 16 weeks that I was too slow to get the ball off the ground in a competitive game.
Be careful, but listen to your body. If you feel sick, sore or lightheaded, just sit down for a while and rest. If you have let work know, they should be pretty good making sure you are taking it a bit easier, and if you have problems, let them know and they'll understand.
We aren't disabled, but we are growing little babies, so thats number one job now! I'm working til 36 weeks, but I fin d now that I can probably only walk around the site 3 times in a day(about 1km per lap?) before I start getting BH contractions, and my belly has had enough.
