Anemia in Babies

Question by :
I’d like a doctor’s note to be taken off of work?
I’m 30 weeks pregnant and am in a program which requires me to search for a job 30 hours a week, 15 of those hours I have to spend volunteering at the salvation army (carrying boxes, putting things away, taking trash out, etc.). I told them I am 30 weeks pregnant, but they do not really seem to care and sometimes the things I have to lift are quite heavy. I have Anemia, which makes it hard for me to do things a lot, because I faint pretty frequently and I still have morning sickness. I am 30 weeks pregnant and would like to be taken off of work within the next month so I can prepare for the birth of my baby. I have been so busy with all this crap that I have not had time to take any classes and really do not know much about labor or the birth process and I need some time to learn about it before baby comes. It’s getting hard for me to do things, but I can’t see my physician taking me off of work. The note can’t say I am requesting to be off of work, it just has to say that she is taking me off of work. I really do not know what to do about this. I will have to work up until I go into labor or am induced if I do not have a note from my doctor. I can see myself working for maybe another month, but I really would like the last 6 months to get everything ready for baby, clean my home completely, get things organized, learn some things about newborns and the birth process. What the heck should I do??
