working and expecting???

Question

How'd you moms do it? Getting up for work every morning deeply nauseous, exhausted and dizzy is becoming more and more of a struggle, I'm only 5 1/2 weeks and I know it's only gonna get worst. I know if I had a desk job it be easier but I'm a cook which is physically and mentally demanding. I feel I'm too early along to tell my boss I need time off for morning sickness because of the risk of losing my baby still. Advice?

Answer

Yup it sucks. But just gotta keep going.

Answer

Just don't think about it get it done

Answer

I'm 38 weeks, still working 10-12 hr shifts on my feet. I feel like I'm half dead and I cry every morning my alarm goes off bc I don't want to get up.

Answer

Always put your baby and your health first.

Answer

Morning sickness won't make you lose your baby.
It'll get better not worse once your placenta takes over

Answer

Yeah, that first tri was really tough. I was working some night shifts and remember having to hide and take a nap in one of the liquor closets (restaurant) while managing the floor. By the third tri I was finished. I was fortunate enough to be supported by my partner and took leave at 36weeks. Best advice is to have something to look forward to each week so you focus on small goals and don't think about how far you still have left to go. Best of luck to you!!

Answer

I work a desk job from home but I work 5 am to 2 pm,  with an 8 year old.  Im still very early on but sometimes it sucks when I feel sick and cant concentrate.  I can't make mistakes in my job since I deal with medical stuff and money.  I do think working from home helps bc I can take more breaks though.

Answer

I'm 20 weeks 3 days and work is becoming a struggle. Im on restricted duty so I can't lift, pull or push over 25 pounds. Which sucks when you're a cna in a nursing home. I told my scheduler that I'm hoping to keep working till 30-35 weeks but I honestly don't know how long I can keep up.
