I'm a teacher and also first time mummy. I'm about 20 weeks along now. The advice that colleagues have been giving me is to have as much bed rest as I think I need. The nature of our job can be very demanding but no one is indispensable. Must rem not to scold too much also!
Thanks ciakes. Mine is the very early stage... Taking 3 days mc for nw. Hows ur experience in ur earlier stage? And How old are u?
How do i go abt joining that apr thread? Sorry im a noob here.
PMed you..

Hello... what did you mean when you said your lower abdominal area would feel weak if you were to move too much? I'm just wondering if we are experiencing the same thing...
Hi omj, lower abdominal feels weak as in, if i were to move ard alot such as walking, sitting down n standing up often.. Then my lower abdomean wld feel quite painful. But if i were to bed rest/walk ultra slowly, then no pain at all... Actually im nt sure if "pain" is an accurate word to describe cos it's nt like those menstrual cramps kinda "pain". Just feel weak, i guess

Hi, I think I might have the same feeling. It is not pain, just feels weak. I will usually feel better if I get to lie down and rest.
If you also feel better after resting, then I suggest you should really try to rest more. Just listen to your body.
And tell yourself, your baby is more important than your work. I learnt this the hard way.

i have previously felt some slight abdominal cramps during week 5-7 of my pregnancy. at that time, my teaching job requires me to walk ard the school lab which can be tiring. as wks go by, I don't feel any abdominal cramps and sometimes, i almost forgot that i am preggy. Instead of walking towards the students' desk to check their projects, i ask them to approach me at my tutor desk. i used a few teaching methods to minimize walking if i dun feel energetic that day..
