I am a pregnant CNA.. am I at risk of miscarrying?

I found out i was pregnant with my son right after i got a CNA job. I needed the job too, but my DR. told me i had to be on bed rest. So i got fired. Your best bet is to talk to your DR. about it, there is no other way to find out.

Well from what I recognise the hormones that include being pregnant generally tend to make females very unwell, nauseous and all that. The sicker she feels the extra more potent the hormones are. My health care professional defined this to me but it surely does not always imply that when you would not have nausea you are going to miscarry. Some our bodies are simply ready of dealing with. I had extreme morning illness with this being pregnant and child is doing simply exceptional. On the opposite hand I certainly not had any signs on my first being pregnant and I misplaced that one. It all is dependent despite the fact that, each and every girl is exceptional or even each and every being pregnant is exceptional at the equal girl.

you know that is a tough one for any woman in the medical field to answer for themselves, I would def. talk to your doctor because really what works for one person will nor work for the other, I was very active with my pregnancies exercising vigorous at times and at high risk do to 7 pregnancies and 4 ended in miscarriage but you and your doctor HAVE to decide this, I had to go with a list and LONG list at that of what I could and could not do he sat there asking a list of questions before determining if I could in fact exercise with each pregnancy or when did I have to stop working out and go right on bed rest with my daughter and youngest son at 32 and 31 weeks.

Also this cousin does she have lifts for you to use or other aids, the patient bed ridden may qualify for a Hoist or other lifting aid you need to be up front and honest with your cousin this Res. has insurance and they need to help or her doctor needs to order one listing that the care givers are in need of these lifting devices.

I was not pregnant but last year my Mother was dying of cancer and because of my back I insisted that the Doctor order one for her Mom was also 350 lbs but even 140 lbs can become dead weight so your Cousin will need to get the ball rolling with the doctor for this person not only for your safety but the patients safety as well.

Also another CNA or cousin will need to lift her until you are clear or other arrangements can be made she needs to make sure that you and residence are in a safe operating facility regardless if this is a home for elderly OR hospital or she can face charges and fines for not having proper working and available equipment.

I worked as a CNA/CMA through my first two pregnancies. Never had any complications at all. My best friend (who worked with me) has PCOS and worked through her entire pregnancy as well.

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, its safe to continue working. Your body is already use to the physical necessity of the job, so its not causing any additional stress to the body.

Just ask another CNA to lift this one patient as you are pregnant and don't want to harm the baby.
