So here it is every year at y job I put on two shows at the elementary school and the high school they are dance shows that require a lot of time and preparation. I also work with special needs very hyper and defiant but these shows mean a lot to them and has changed the lives of many of them it gives them self-confidence and something to look forward to. Last year a kid told me if it wasn't for the show he would not of passed his classes. The only reason he worked so hard is he didn't want to loose his spot and if he failed he would get kicked out the show. I am now four weeks pregnant and I am due in July. These shows take place in June my husband came up to me this morning and pleaded with me not to do them he says it's to much stress I have never had a baby and I don't know how my body is going to act and I need to relax. While I agree my job as a dance drama teacher is give a show and I really don't want to disappoint the kids and staff. I have thought of all types of ways to do the show but at the end of the day no matter who helps me most of the responsibility is mine. Last year they also got rid of my assistant. What should I do?

If it were me i would speak to your boss and tell him your situation, you could explain that you really want to do the show but do not know how you will be feeling at the time.
I hope nothing bad does happen during your pregnancy and that all goes well

Ask for lots of parent volunteers and talk to the cheerleading coach at your school to help with the dance routines. If you have a band director, ask him/her. Get some of your better high school students to help you organize and the other teachers to manage ticket sales and such. The key to this is to be a manager, not a worker.

Well I know I had a lot of stress with my first pregnancy and had to go on bed rest. That might end up being a possibility for you. If you really want to do it you should find an assitant, and insist they hire them. Or maybe find a temporary replacement for this year.
