Well...it's time. Two customers asked me if I was pregnant last night, so I know it's time to leave the club and find a "normal" job until after the baby is born. I'm not really showing too much yet, but sometimes I look like I'm REALLY bloated and PMSing, especially at night after I've been eating all day. In two weeks, I'll be 3 months.
Sometimes I worry that I'll slip and fall on the stage, or I'll catch a cold or the flu from a customer who tries to drool on me. I am sick of men other than my boyfriend touching my body, and my back hurts a lot. I had to make a lot of money this week to make my car payment, so I've worked 4 days in a row. It's just too much for my body to handle, I think. I barely worked that much before I got pregnant.
Luckily, there is no smoking in CA clubs, so that hasn't been an issue. Also, because we are licensed for nudity, there is no alcohol in my club either. Those facts have made it easier to transition out of dancing, but a big part of me doesn't want to give up the flexible nocturnal hours, the self-employment, the GREAT money. I know from here on out it will be a struggle, but I realize I must make this sacrifice for my little one.
I have no idea what I'm going to do now, except move into my bf's apartment an hour away from LA (he'll pay rent and I'll just focus on my car payment) and cut down on my expenses. I'm going to try to get a waitressing job at the Spearmint Rhino near his house, and go back to phone sex as a supplement.
I just wanted to offer an update to everyone who has been so kind and inquisitive on the boards here. Your support has meant a lot. I can't wait to join you all back on the pole when my body starts to look "pre-preggo" again!
Thanks everyone!


Thanks everyone!
