How is work going for you?

Question

I’m six weeks along and I’m so nauseous I can hardly function. It’s been this way since 4.5 weeks. I also have a moderate headache that I will occasionally take Tylenol for. I only work two days a week, but I’m a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. I’ve had to leave early a couple times. I have a long way to go!
Sea bands don’t help, I gag every time I put a ginger candy in my mouth, I’m taking B6/Unisom and haven’t noticed a difference. Are you all able to work? What works for you?

Answer

Work has been miserable for me. I work m-f 8:30-6:30 and I’m about dead at the end of the day. I can barely keep any food down and have been living on smoothies (and still throwing those up). My boss is already giving me a hard time about doctors appointments and I don’t get any paid time off. I come home in tears almost every day.

Answer

I’m in the same boat as you, I’m an RN and work on a busy oncology floor. I am 6 weeks. Last week was terrible, I had to leave early one day from vomiting and I was so shaky I couldn’t function. Obviously I had to tell my charge RN what was going on with my pregnancy but I’m still trying to keep it a secret from everyone else. Today I am a little better, my OB told me that taking a benadryl at night should help with nausea the next day and it actually helped! I also chew ginger tabs throughout the day and wear sea bands.

Answer

I work 12 hour shifts 2 on 2 off and duty days over night and I’m extremely miserable too. It’s getting worse and worse 😒
