Should I take the day off? Feeling stressed and overwhelmed... 5w3d preggs

Question

I've been feeling tired and exhausted. Slept for 13 hours yesterday and woke up this morning feeling blah. I generally don't like calling in sick but today I feel like but I also feel quilty, i don't know :( I don't have morning sickness.... Just v tired and down.

Answer

I’m 32 weeks pregnant and I’m still working! You can’t give up so soon, you’ll kick yourself in the butt if you do. 
Granted I only work 5hr shifts but I’m a waitress and I don’t get a break that entire time. I’m not taking maternity leave until 36 weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Unfortunately you’re going to have lots of those days but you gotta push through it. I worked until I was 30 weeks pregnant due to baby wanting to come out at that time. It was very tough. My feet were so swollen, my body was barely pushing through. I just ended up asking for 4 hour shifts until I stopped working

Answer

Hiiii.. On the same boat.. Also 5w and 3 days.. when do you have your first Dr. appointment?

Answer

That’s going to happen off an on throughout your pregnancy. Most just fight through it and sometimes the movement and getting up and about helps. Try taking a nice warm shower and eating something. Think of this time as prep for motherhood, learning how to cope with not feeling the best but still having to get up and do things. You got this :)
