Teacher Moms

Peppermint tea at my deskA very supportive co-teacher

Lots of tea and preggie pop drops

Talk to a coworker that doesn’t have a morning class or an administrator, secretary ANYONE that can step in to your room for a few minutes if you get sick. I got sick every morning about 10 minutes before first period. Eating snacks constantly helped a lot. Once I started teaching it helped me forget about the queasiness.

Ginger chews, ginger ale, lemon drops, and a stash of saltines. Find your neighbor teacher friend and work out an alliance. Lol. I also gave my students heads up on days I was feeling particularly rough (I taught MS at the time)- even before I announced I was pregnant. I got so sick and had so many days I felt sick a student came up to me and was very concerned I had stomach cancer. 😬
