Any pregnant teachers out there?

I'm currently only 5w4d and I'm also a full-time teacher. I know it's hard to be pregnant in any career, but this is kicking my butt.

My students have noticed that I have much lower energy and "But Ms. Pummel, you've been feeling sick all week!" Peeing is a nightmare (thanks, 4 minute passing periods!), and I'm just struggling with focus and keeping up with my students. Already yesterday, one of my juniors asked me if I was pregnant...and I lied.

It would be easier if I was several weeks further along, because I'd just tell them. But because we haven't told our parents, we've miscarried in the past, and it's so early, that's obviously not an option.

ANYWAY - any other pregnant teachers out there? How did you survive/how are you surviving the first trimester?
