HOW IN THE HELL?!?!?! Third shift people‼️

Question

I’m 6 weeks pregnant and IM EXHAUSTED. When I say I’m exhausted I mean, on my one day off a week that I get, I’m sleeping 16-18 hours that day. I work 6 days a week on 3rd shift, I have little to no time to sleep during the week. (I get maybe 5 hours a day max) 
When can I do to boost my energy? I drink water and eat healthy. Sleeping more isn’t an option. 
I’ve seriously considered quitting my job, because I literally can’t handle this. I cry on my way to work everyday from being so completely tired.

Answer

Right there with you.. It gets more tough everyday I go in. I'm so exhausted all the time

Answer

I’m in the same boat! I’m 5 weeks 2 days and literally hate coming to work now! And i also have another job. Being tired is making me miserable i get about 6 hours of sleep a day, and i don’t think that’s healthy for my baby. I’m going PRN I’ll be okay with being able to come to work whenever i feel like it cause i hate it now

Answer

I've been on overnights for 3 years now and I'm currently 17w4d.
The beginning was ROUGH, I was EXHAUSTED, I slept whenever i was home, morning sickness was no help.
Make SURE that you keep your sleep schedules on your day off, DO NOT flop to a day schedule, itll only make it worse.
Somewhere around 10-12 weeks it started getting easier and my boss gave me slightly lighter duties and by not exerting as much energy I wasn't as tired all the time.
See if maybe your boss could lighten your load :)

Answer

Ug. There’s not really anything you can do. Growing a baby is just absolutely exhausting no matter which way you slice it. Hopefully when you hit the second trimester, you won’t feel quite as tired. And then in the third trimester, you’ll be even more exhausted. 😉
