Any military moms out here?

Question

I am current in the military and pregnant and holy crap has it been hard to keep up with the military life style when the pregnancy fatigue is killing you! Every time I try to find things on military mommas army/military wives pop up(not that there's anything wrong with it) but I can't relate with them too much lol.  If anyone's out there how in the world do you cope??

Answer

One day at a time. It's exhausting and takes a really good leadership team to support you and realize that you may need certain accommodations. If you don't have that support go to your OB and ask them about writing you a letter or even changing your profile to help your coc understand what you need. I had to have modified duties because even though I'm under 20 weeks the amount of standing I was being required to do was putting pressure on my back and hips and causing me pain. I was really lucky and my coc was supportive in allowing me to sit while working. I also figured out if I eat every two hours I get a lot less drained during the day
