feeling not so hot at work

[katie_1989]

Ill be 13 weeks tomorrow and ive been lucky not to have crazy horrible morning sickness.  ive definitely been nauseous and gotten sick a few times and of course felt like i could sleep the day away but nothing i can't deal with. My stomach is in knots and my eyes wont stay open and im sweating so much (its only 50deg outside)! How does everyone manage their long workdays? I always feel like i look horrible but i just dont like to spend time getting ready anymore...

Everyone is so amazing for what they do and push themselves through even when its tough. I always just tell myself ill get through and cant wait to be at home.. or at least not at work! Theres just something about not having that comfort you need or the alone time you cant get.

I have the same problem.  However I can't afford to not work :/ but I say don't be afraid to take a sick day if you need to.  I've taken 5 already and I'm 16 weeks. Some days I'm just useless.

I worked every day up until I had my daughter who's 6 now. Now im pregnant with our second and I bearly made it to 22 weeks! I was working 9 hours a day standing on my feet, with a boss who would not let me rest.  After a day of working, I got home and I couldn't stand from pain shooting up my leg into my back I quit on the spot. I just couldn't do it anymore like I did with my first daughter. And I didn't want to risk losing our lil girl

I'm only 7 weeks but already feel extremely tired and nauseous.  I don't know how I am going to last at work till end of April. Working in retail fulltime won't make my situation better because they decide when I go on break. Good luck to everyone who is working while pregnant. Would love to stop sooner but financially I can't.

Wow, I'm amazed at all the women who work through out their pregnancy! Props to you ladies!!! I stopped my part time job before my 2nd trimester.

I'm 15.6 weeks and I only work part time. 6/7 hours a day. And I can hardly Handel that my feet and back hurt so bad from standing all day. Props for you working long hours !
