Working at Starbucks while Pregnant

Pregnant Barista

Working at Starbucks has pushed me to adjust and acclimate my every move.

Squat, don't bend.

(don't want to squash Harvey)

Stand balanced on both feet, not all my weight on my right leg.

(which I have learned, pushes on my sciatic nerve)

Ask, ask, ask for help.

NO

ladders, carrying milk gallons, taking out trash, closing shifts, putting orders away, lifting coffee cadens

My personal no's

Opening shifts(4am)

Warmer(standing in front oven for hours and running food out to cars)

Working over 6hr shifts

Working on Sunday's (personal day with Matt)

I've really learned that experience at work affects my pregnancy experience.

Stressing over work and pushing myself, is not worth it.

I am lucky to have Matt working so hard to support us.

I could not do it without him. 

I have really enjoyed working while pregnant. Specifically my little Starbucks family have been very supportive, helpful and excited to have an addition to the family.

My plan.

Work to about a week or so before I'm due, June 19.

So I can be ready, relaxed, and present.

Wrapping my head around labor and being in a place of calm and confidence.
