Having a baby is already an incredibly hard job. It’s one you don’t really get to take breaks from or put the rest of your responsibilities aside for, and that includes spending time at the office. If you’re a working mom who’s expecting, you know just how hard it can be to be pregnant and still have to perform your duties at your day job. 

Twitter seems to be where expecting parents of all types go to air their grievances, share funny stories, and generally discuss what it’s like to be pregnant and still working. Get some inspo or laughs from the mamas below.

1. The Perfect Getaway 

When you use pumping as an excuse to get away from an annoying coworker 👍🏻😂👊🏻 #ByeFelicia #pumpingatwork #breastfeeding

2. Autocorrect, Correct 

My iPhone registers my social media editor role more than my mom persona. Autocorrect keeps changing "teething" to "tweeting."

3. Back-to-Back Power Mom 

#workingmother is getting off a 14-hour flight at 3pm, running to catch the earlier express train, changing to the local train, a taxi, dumping suitcase and backpack at the front door, then running to daycare to pick your son up at 5pm.

Being pregnant is the best way to get unwanted advice on literally anything.

7. Dare Devil 

If you ever want to overcome your fear of dying, you should just steal a parking spot from a pregnant woman.

9. Things Kids Say 

Just about finishes with midnight shift 7 of 7. I just got a phone call from my 5 yo:

5: Where are you, mom?!
Me: I'm at work.
5: Tell your boss it's stupid you have to work.
Me: Sure, I'll let him know you said so...

Kid cracks me up! #ThingsKidsSay #WorkingMom #MomsInSTEM
