cottonmama Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Do you (or did you) continue to do so during pregnancy? Edited April 29, 2012 by cottonmama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yes, unless/until I get to the point where I need a break before the baby arrives, or health complications require me to take a step back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmama Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Pregnancy and my body did not agree with each other. :D As in, all-PG "morning" sickness, hospitalized for multiple times for dehydration from all the vomiting, and carrying ziploc bags with me wherever I went up until delivery. Sorry if TMI! So...I did what I could, but honestly, parenting my other kids and staying upright became priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganCupcake Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Pretty much if I'm not having the baby that day, I'm volunteering. My pregnancies have been very easy. However, if I have other health problems, I stop volunteering. I have some back problems and there have been a few times lately that I've gotten a substitute because I haven't been mobile enough to be working with kids, or really doing much of anything.

DawnM Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I did not volunteer while pregnant, but I was also working full time and exhausted and couldn't have taken on any more than I already had on my plate. So, not sure my answer will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamzanne Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I taught Sunday School WHILE in labor. When my husband got up to preach I knew it was time to go... we lived an hour and a half from the hospital so I didn't think we should try to make it through the service. Then the last (annoying) song we sang was stuck in my head through my entire labor and delivery. Come and Dine, the Master calleth... :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to have c sections, but I could totally see this happening to me if I went into natural labor. I have had to deal with a lot, while my husband was preaching ;) and yes, that song would be VERY annoying to have in your head during labor!!

Parrothead Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I had only just started going back to church when I was pregnant so I didn't volunteer for anything. I was one of those back row sitters who hoped no one noticed I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottonmama Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Then the last (annoying) song we sang was stuck in my head through my entire labor and delivery. Come and Dine, the Master calleth... :tongue_smilie: I know how that goes... there was an ice cream truck making the rounds at my apartment complex while I was in labor with my first -- blasting the most annoying music, and it must have taken it 30 minutes to go its rounds. I've never been so grumpy about ice cream before. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yes, I did, more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustybug Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yes, I did. After the baby was born, I took a few months off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonfirmath Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 My baby was due early August. I worked through the end of May last year but declined to commit to work through the summer. I came back to work in October, once I was back on my feet and was sure my baby in the nursery was not going to be needing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
