How do I work?!

Question

I'm 11 weeks 2 days and I'm miserable. I'm nauseous and feel like I'm going to throw up all the time. Plus the fatigue is overwhelming. The last 2 or 3 weeks have been impossible. I don't even know how I'm supposed to function. I work in a high-stress job with unpredictable hours and on-call work. Part time I'm at my desk, part time I'm out of the office working. Plus at the moment we are short staffed and our supervisor has become a slave driver trying to get us all caught up from when we were really far behind. I just don't even know how I'm supposed to do it. Everyday seems impossible to even get through right now. I can barely give the bare minimum at the moment, so how am I supposed to go above and beyond like she is demanding????

Help!

Answer

I felt the same way at first! I am a special ed teacher and I was so tired and miserable I cried on my way to work everyday. I seriously had to take it one day at a time and think about how using any sick days meant taking time away from my baby later. Try hard ginger candies for nausea and b12 for exhaustion. I felt horrible until about 13 weeks then it got better.

What is your job?

Answer

I know this isn't doable for everyone, but I actually had to quit my job my symptoms got so bad. I ended up being a high risk and now I'm in bed all day. I've been for almost 3 months now. It sucks, but I always think of the positive outcome!! My baby love ❤️

Answer

Talk with them see if you can't take it easy. It's hard but don't over do it but at the same time gotta do what you gotta do. I work on a hospital I'm on my feet long hours on call as well I did this everyday up until the day I was induced. Have a talk with your doctor awe what they can do to help you out with work

Answer

You should talk to them and take it easy if you feel you can't physically handle it. They cannot tire you more than you can handle. Remember what (who) is your priority now: have a great and healthy pregnancy. So don't overdo! Listen to your body!

Answer

Do what you have to do.  Take small breaks.  If you can't do it and can afford it then quit. I worked a similar job with my first and was doing home visits.  I would pull my car over, vomit, and be on my way again.
