Pregnant and working
stress
:-(Guest ·
I sometimes feel like clients don't take me into account, which often makes me feel sad. Lately, I've felt most at home here. When I go to work, I feel sad.
I actually don't dare to tell this because I'm afraid people will think I'm exaggerating.
Today I had to clean a client's window and I couldn't really manage even with the step ladder, so I had to lean on her sink with my knees. With the same client, I had to clean shelves where dangerous products are stored. I felt really bad about this today because I had to do something I didn't fully support. It feels like no consideration is being given to my pregnancy, which I find very upsetting.
With another client, I had to clean her garage every week, and her cars are parked there too. So it often smells of car exhaust fumes. I told her I'd rather not clean her garage anymore because I can't handle it due to my pregnancy. A week later, she gave me a tip to leave the garage slightly open and clean it at the end. I'm not 100% behind this either, but I feel like I'm being forced somehow.
I always wear gloves, but sometimes they tear.
I'm not sure what to do anymore.
