Working

[ashleye1992]

I work 40 hrs a week,8-430, I have been very exhausted lately by like 3. I have left work early a few times because I literally fall asleep at my desk. I am 10w4d do you think it is too early to be asking for 30-35 hrs a week? I don't want my employer to think I can't handle working full time and keep me at less hours. I have talked to coworkers about asking for less hours and they have said things like I worked 40hrs when I was pregnant and just said mean things to me. I really need advice! Thank you

You should start getting your energy back in the second trimester. But that is really up to you. Try to take a short walk several times a day. It should help!
