Working in the hospitality industry

Good morning, I'm curious if there are more pregnant women who work in the hospitality industry and how they experience it. I'm just in my first trimester but I notice I get stomach cramps when I lift too much. I'm also very tired but don't want to let myself be known because it's still so early. How do you experience it and how do you deal with it.
Greetings Joyce

    I work in healthcare, but both in healthcare and in hospitality, you're constantly on the move and lifting a lot.
    Even if you're "just" in your first trimester, you need to listen to your body.
    I also thought for a while, I don't want to say anything yet and I'll just keep going, but in the end, I ended up with pelvic instability, which means I've been home since the end of July even though I'm not supposed to start my leave until October 18th.
    Think about yourself and speak up!
    Your boss needs to take it seriously.

    Thanks for the reply, Janine. I also had pelvic instability during my previous pregnancy. Really unpleasant! I have to work tonight and will see how it goes. Otherwise, I'll give them a call.

    Thank you so much, Noortje. It's a bit overwhelming, all this uncertainty hahaha. I'm so curious about the first ultrasound. How big it already is.. listening to the little heartbeat hihi
