Dee, I do exactly what I used to do in-house, only on a consultancy basis (I work in corporate affairs/communications). I branch out by doing a lot of writing and some marketing for smaller businesses as well. The hard thing is keeping the clients coming, although it is getting easier as time goes on (as long as I don't get caught napping in someone's office ).
Now!!! LOL So over work...and I'm only 7 weeks...long way to go yet! Good news (or bad news) is, that my traineeship finishes in December, but I will have a temporary position where I am now until February, so after Feb who knows, maybe I could just stay at home After all, who's going to want to employ a 4 month old pregnant woman
I think it was around 34 weeks for me with DS. I worked up until 38 weeks and definately DO NOT recommend working for that long. It was absolute agony. I dont know how i made it through.
Just make sure you have some time for you and some time to rest and take it easy.. its a very long road ahead .. but a very rewarding one
Work is killing me now. I'm a nurse so on my feet alot, last time finished at 34 weeks this time gonna be 35 weeks but as I have plenty of sick leave if I am finding I'm struggling more and more will just have to have time off. I find being on my feet all day it starts to feel like all my insides are gonna drop out and the exhaustion well that starts as soon as I wake up!
Ack, don't know how you girls can do it, on your feet all day!
I have a desk job and I am STILL exhausted by the time I get home each night!!!
I'm thinking the couch in the tea room is looking mighty good for some "feet up" time. I'm also thinking about negotiating one full day a week at home... maybe Wednesdays, to break up the week a bit and have some rest.
At home I can work remotely from the comfort of my couch... sleep in more, rest up more.
Dee, I hope you can find some sort of compromises with your work...
It's a little different this time bcos I am working from home but with Jake it was by about 25 weeks I had reached my capacity. I had a job tho where I was (supposed) to be on my feet most of the day but was able to modify it pretty easily.
