Half days at work?

Question

Good morning mamas and mamas to be! So I work at my job from 11am to about midnight or 1am. I am now 6 weeks pregnant and experience extreme nausea,  morning sickness, and constant dizzy spells. I am overly tired I literally attempt to take a nap on my break. And I don't eat as I should because of the constant work. Any ideas as to what to do? Or how to help. My boss requires that we work these hours.

Answer

It depends on how much you value this job. I think the first trimester is the worst. I would definitely see a Dr. about the morning sickness and getting a prescription because that's going to be a problem at any job and it doesn't need to be. I started taking Diclegis and it has made things way more tolerable. In the first trimester I would nap in my car on my breaks. I bring lots of snacks with me to keep me going all day, but I'm allowed to eat on the job and I know that's not an option for everyone.

Answer

Being very serious, its time to start looking for a new job. If your first trimester is anything like mine was you are going to make yourself miserable. And sick...much more than you already are. Its not worth yours or baby's health I promise.
