What Would You Do?

Here's the thing. I have been feeling Braxton Hicks contractions for about 10 days now. No biggie. I read that you start having them early in the pregnancy, but don't usually feel them until the last trimester. Because my "uterus is flabby", I am feeling them early. I was concerned about how strong they were, but not too worried. Today, after having had a very physical day at work, I had a DOOZIE, and then another, and another. 4 total, all in a row and within about 5 minutes. I had to pant through them because they were so intense. I talked to the midwife at the dr's office. She said, no more messing with the tables at work, no standing for more than a hour, no bending, no lifting, get more rest during the day.

So what would you do? I am needed at work. They just don't have enough aides (which is why I have to work so hard) I can keep working and just tell them what I need. I believe they will accommodate me because they are desperate. Or I can give notice, because...Realistically...I can no longer do the work. I am torn. I only have 8 more weeks of work. That equals 23 days total. But, I will have to be babied the whole time I am working. I really don't know what to do. Part of me feels that I should just stick it out. Part of me feels that it's too risky, even for just 23 days.

I should probably mention that I left work in my 7th month when I was carrying Cory. The Braxton Hicks contractions were so bad that I had dilated to 3 centimeters by that point. And staying off my feet stopped the early labor.

I should also mention that this work is not crucial to me. It's just something I was doing to help out.

I am leaning toward giving notice. But I feel bad about it. Should I feel bad?
