OK I have not been on in a while.I just thougt I would let everyone know that my pregnancy is going OK I guess.I went in too pretrem labor about two weeks ago, but they stopped it.I am 20 weeks and 1 day it's a boy ;)

I am glad to hear they were able to stop it. Try to take it easy. I know easier said than done. Keep us posted.

I am trying to take it easy but I'm fixen to start working this will be my first job and my mom is scared that I won't take care of myself and ill be stressed out too much dose anyone agree with her

I tend to agree. Did you dr say what caused you to go into preterm labor? Has he put you on bedrest at all? In all honesty even if it's your first job I would wait and go to work after the baby is born. You might end up doing more harm than good by working. Besides that your only going to be able to work for what... ten to fifteen weeks? I think I would honestly have to ask... is it really worth it, my health and that of my baby to go to work. I am all for working don't get me wrong. I'm a stay at home mom of 9month old twins. I work my rear off so yeah I'm a big fan of working. But please take a step back and try to see it from your mom's point of view. I know that if any of my daughters were in your shoes I would definitely side with your mom.

I definitely agree with your Mother.
If a Mother can have the healthiest pregnancy, best suggestion is to stick it out at home and relax with your feet up, you've beaten pre-term labour, I would take that as a bodily sign that it could happen again.

I definitely would advise you to not get a job working in hard labour, no reaching as you could dis-attach the placenta.

Are you sure you want to be working? I know the benefits in America are really slack.
Here in Australia you can claim benefits for parenting so you're paid a small amount that really helps and allows you to stay at home to work.
Mothering is a tough job of it's own.

Think you all for the input I think I have decided not take the job even though its a lot of money 450.00 a week with good benefits and all I would have to do is set and process paper work

That's music to my mommy ears. I know it's a lot of money but you put the right things first in my opinion... yourself and your baby. If they want you to work for them they will hire you after the baby comes. Who knows you might find something even better... motherhood.

Thinks I hope I am making the right chose I know I have to think about my child before anything though

Now your thinking like a mom... I love it. Just remember that when one door closes another opens and being a mom is the best job on earth... the most thankless but still the best
