If you work, how are you surviving the first trimester?

Question

Some days I just feel so nauseous and tired I feel like I can barely work. I just don’t have the motivation to work on those days. I have time off so I’ve been using it but I still have 4 weeks before the first trimester is over. Other working ladies, what are you doing to survive this part of pregnancy?

Answer

Thankfully I’m a teacher and did weeks 6-10 on summer break. I was looking after my other two children so it wasn’t easy but I really don’t know how I could have been at work during that time. But I really think you just get through it. Take sick days if you really need too and know that your best is going to be a little lower for awhile. You just get through it somehow!

Answer

Zofran and the realization if I don't work we don't eat.

Answer

I would say I'm just getting by, I'm usually so sick at the end of the day I end up going home an hour early. Luckily everyone at my job is very understanding. Eventually when I'm closer to 6-7 months I'm going to go down to part time.

Powering through… and lots of milo 🤓

Answer

Luckily i was lucky enough to be able to transition to being a stay at home mommy and hubby agreed but I definitely feel yalls pain i worked till about 8 weeks pregnant and i was pulling about 60 hours and it was just to much for me and my body to handle.

Answer

Just barely. I work 40+ hours a week. I've got an 8 year old that I have to help with homework and a 2 year old refusing naps now. I don't know if I would call it surviving but it's definitely something....
