Im pregnant and am having my baby in 2 to 3 weeks... I work the night shift at a print shop and have very long hours.. 12 hour shift. The one other night girl is in school so she had set the schedule around her school schedule, working her less than me... im the only backup.. but now I need the break that shes getting.. example is that I work 6 days 12 hours a night and I only have one day in the middle splitting it up.. Im trying to get everything together but Im always at work.. Should I ask for some slack or just deal with it?

wow that's icky I was in the military when I had my baby and I worked incredible hours but I felt healthy enough to do so I worked on the day I went into labor and I worked late the truth is only you know your body if you truly need a break then talk to your boss you are obviously pregnant if you need a break then you need a break. medically you are a priority and if you have a good boss they should see it that way as well people never questioned me because I always felt fine except in the beginning but that's a different story but they may not be giving you slack because they may be thinking you are doing OK they don't know what you don't tell them

Is this a print shop chain or individual business? Either way there are labor laws and you need to think about your health and the health of the baby. Consult the labor laws where you live and find out your rights.

If your boss is reasonable, you should just discuss it with him. You also have rights under the Family and Medical Leave act which you should be aware of.
Your boss needs to find a solution while you are away anyway, so he might as well start to find a temporary replacement now.

R U KIDDING ME?
Yes, yes, & yes. You are pregnant for crying out loud. That boss of yours should have given you a break a long time ago without you saying anything- its the decent thing to do. So my answer is YES!

My answer is " Bosses don't cut slack. They cut fa*ts." Now, if the toad is your boss's brat I have good news. Your days in the print shop is over.

You need to be assertive for your health and your baby. You must ask. you may even go to your Dr and have her write a note for you saying you need the bed rest, then he has to let you off and can NOT fire you for it good luck

I suggest you have your doctor write a note for your employer stating you NEED to rearrange your schedule to accomodate your pregnancy for your HEALTH. That way you won't have to say anything much.
