Teachers?

Question

Any teachers out there who have tips on how to deal with dizziness/nausea and still teach a class? I'm only 6w3d, but my dizziness and nausea is so bad this morning that I can't drive a car, let alone engage freshmen all day. I'm going to call my doctor for coping tips, but would love to hear from you. Do I just have to suck it up? Were your principals understanding if you had to leave the class unattended?

Answer

Ugh I feel for you :( I'm past the nausea now but my strategy was to eat small bites throughout the day. Like, a few crackers every 30 min. Lots of hand washing too - your immunity is down in pregnancy so my super immune system has already succumbed to two colds going around my 3rd grade class!

Answer

In the same boat. I teach 4th and I have all day morning sickness. I have just been making sure to keep eating small snacks every hour and putting ginger in my smoothies in the morning. I just got some ginger tea and ordered some ginger sucker drops from Amazon. The tea seems to help and honestly if you can just force yourself to eat it helps so much. Good luck. ? Hopefully this fades soon!

Answer

I know my management team will be understanding when I fall pregnant, but still worried about dealing with nausea with a class full of 8 and 9 year olds.

​I'm going to keep a stock of ginger beer and crackers in my class.

Answer

Ugh it's the worst! I teach the 1st grade and can barely function. I don't want to use up all of my sick days this early either. I'm always drinking ginger ale and eating something. That's helps a little. I'm waiting till 12 weeks to tell my principal. Preggie pops are good and so is chewing gum. There's an aspartame free one called pur. Good luck !

Answer

I teach Pre-schoolers. Believe me when I say you can take you eye off the for even a moment. 
Am at nine weeks but my all day sickness started at the six week mark. All I can say I try every thing to get the nausea and throwing up under control. Nothing worked. Finally my Dr gave me Zofrane. It has made my life a little more bearable. I hope this helps.

Answer

I have been wondering the same thing, except I teach 2nd grade and leaving them unattended isn't an option. I'm exactly as far as you and I've got morning sickness all day long :(
