My sister worked a 12 hour nursing shift, went home to go to bed then had to pretty much turn right around and go back to the hospital when her water broke.

My wife worked a 12-hour night shift, went upstairs to L & D in the morning, and gave birth after about 8 hours, before her next shift would have started. She was exhausted after being induced, so I had to make the call to her manager, "sorry, she's not going to be able to work tonight!" I also worked the night shift at the time, and the delivery was 3 weeks early. We both slept well that first night, lol.

Maternity leave?

u/PimpGameShane 22h ago
You don’t have maternity leave until you have the baby.

That would be illegal in a lot of countries... It's insane that in America it's expected of anyone who is close to giving birth to keep working until the baby is about to arrive

I’ve been saying for a while now that America is the ghetto. 🤣 Like why would anyone want to come here? You live in a tropical jungle by a river but Cleveland is your pot of gold?

u/First_Pay702 21h ago
Not in America, my sister’s kid was only 2 days early, but she was married to a financially irresponsible prick, so her working up until the baby dropped was probably one part making as much money as possible before maternity leave, and one part avoiding her now ex. I believe one can start maternity leave two weeks before the due date, though I have had coworkers whose water broke at work because the babies have other plans.

LOL I remember at that stage of pregnancy, I was just yelling “GET OUT OF THERE ALREADY!” at my belly multiple times a day. It’s miserable.

So dancing like this can actually help progressing labor at this point! She was helping herself along!

My back hurts just watching this but I love her energy so much. When people have that much fun doing little fun things I’m always happy (also congrats to her on the baby!)

Same thing happened to my wife when she underestimated the power of eating a half a pineapple a week before her due date. Went into labor that night!

It's the jump that knocks me out 😭😂 i was pretty active through my pregnancies but I could barely climb a step, much less jump, by the end. Dance, yes. Lift my legs that high? No way.
What a rock star 💕
