Hi! I'm an ECA (I think that's the same thing as a PCA) in a high care nursing home. I have two more 6 hour shifts to go and I am off of maternity leave. Actually I think I'll be lucky to last out that far. I have constant lower back pain and sciatic pain through my hip and down my thigh. The pain turns my leg numb!!

I think our job is just not good for pregnant women!!!

Good luck and I agree with the other ladies. It just may be time to stop.
