Health, Wellness, and BeautyScheduling & Booking4HighPhysical Therapist$ implied

Pregnant acute care physical therapists struggle to continue working full shifts up to delivery due to physical discomfort and the need to conserve paid leave for after birth, with short and low-paid leave.

No flexible scheduling or reduced-duty options for pregnant clinicians; paid leave is insufficient, forcing them to work until delivery.
