I'm only 8 weeks pregnant but so incredibly tired. Is it wrong to quit my job early? Please help!

I quit my last job with my last pregnancy at 7 months, but my fiance wanted me to quit sooner. With my very first pregnancy my doctor deemed me high risk because I was only 17 and I was forced to quit making it hard to provide for myself and a baby on the way.
It is only something you can decide but weigh out your options first. Making lists of pros and cons always help me with things.

Hang in there things get better at 12 weeks. I'm in second trimester & feel amazing. No more nausea, tiredness or ridiculous wee stops. Maybe you can talk to your boss about flexible hours or something....

With my first pregnancy I worked up until my water broke which was actually at work lol but depends on the person. If I could have afforded to leave early I would have but hey I didn't mind working

Omgoodness, I hated going to work in my first trimester. I had no idea that I would feel completely drained, even after a good night's rest. I thought about quitting as well, but managed to stick it out. It is rough, but you can do it. :)

I had excessive fatigue from 7-13 weeks, it was really severe. I slept like 10 hours at nights and still felt the need to sleep all day. I'm 18 weeks now and I feel better than ever. Hang in there, it will most likely ease up in the 2nd trimester. But i see what you're saying about quitting your job, it is really up to you if you feel like you can handle it or not.

It is rough, I work a job where I'm on my feet most of the day and between 5 and 8 weeks I was soooo tired I would nap on my lunch break, nap when I got home, and be in bed by 10. On weekends I felt tlike I spent most of the day sleeping, but for me it started getting better as I got closer to 9 weeks.

You will feel better as your weeks progress you will feel amazing I felt the same exact way but @27 weeks and 5 days I feel it a little bit and I am still working full-time

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I work full time. I plan on working up to delivery and then take 12 weeks off and go back. If there isn't a medical need for you to stop working then you should talk to your partner/husband before you quit your job to see if you are financially stable, but in all honesty, I would stick it out. You will start feeling better shortly and you will want the money to buy stuff that you will need for the baby

Im working 2 jobs and I'm and finishing college and
I thought I'd die of exhaustion at one point. I'm a toddler teacher and I have a night cleaning job 4 nights a week.  It got so bad I talked to my boss and got my cleaning job cut down to 3 nights so I could have every other night off. Maybe you can work it out to go in an hour late a few days of the week.

Push through it and stick with your job!! It'll be a long 32 wks sitting at home, not collecting a pay cheque!
