I have a 15months old son, and I was planning to start working again, however I just found out that I am pregnant- again! I miscalculated...(my bad) anyways ladies- do you think I should just sit back and wait after I have the baby THEN get back into the working schedule? Thing is, we have insurance and my husband has a pretty good job, however I was kinda like- working can help keep me busy and keep my mind off my swelling belly, but yet again, I dont know if I can handle the work stress, traffic, getting up early and all of that- Is it best to just put working on hold and get back to it later after I have the baby?

This is one of those things that you and your husband should sit down and discuss your options about.
You definitely can work, a job can't refuse you because you are pregnant, but you need to do what you feel is in your best interest.

I would give my right arm to be able to stop working for the rest of my pregnancy!!! Unfortunately, my husband is PhD student so i'm responsible for the health insurance and bringing home the pay check we live on. I'm 29 weeks now and extremely uncomfortable and tired. I hate dragging myself to work every day.
If I were you I would WAIT until after the baby, especially since getting a job while pregnant can be pretty difficult. If you can afford to stay home, and your husband has the insurance I would definately stay!

I can help you work from home, while pregnant and taking care of your little one. It would help lower stress and wonder. Send me and email with your interests and we can go from there. My business is 100% risk free and requires NO selling.
Helps keep you at home with your kids and put money into savings, help with finances, what ever you want to do with it. I would have loved to get this information a few years ago when I was in your position.

You're going to get pretty tired too...chasing the older one! I was so tired with the second one. I needed all the rest especially for when the second baby arrived. She took a while to sleep through the night. I was glad I didn't go back to work.
You could always find a moms club to keep yourself busy...Just remember you're going to be tired!
