I'm a bus operator for WMATA (metro). Recently I was involved in a incident on my bus where the airbellows on the bus went out and caused alot of shaking and bouncing which caused me to hurt my back. I am also 6 1/2 months pregnant. I did go to my OB/GYN to make sure everything was okay with the baby and it was. I couldnt get an appointment right away so the workers compensation department set me up with one of their Orthopedic doctors. He gave me two weeks off on light duty which meant no pushing, pulling and lifting anything more than 10 pounds and no sitting or standing for more than 30 minutes without a 15 minute break and wanted me to try physical therapy. I went to the physical therapist and he basically said because of my pregnancy he wasnt going to do much and gave me some exercise
