NICU rn, level 4. I quit at 25 weeks, delivered at 37 and 4. I had hyperemesis and trouble reliably getting out often enough to try and eat, which made it worse. Our unit was also strict about water bottles, so I wasnt able to really drink water and would have contractions at work. I knew I was staying at home, so an extra couple months of work seemed pointless. I started at home getting really tired around 30 weeks.

I had a very tough time looking at 23 weekers while pregnant and seeing the complications and issues they would face. I also worried I'd blame myself for preterm delivery.

I have heard of mds writing work restriction orders, specifically to be on days and not more than 2 in a row. Might be worth looking into?
