work

Is anyone finding work difficult I'm only 2 month but I am so tired I have a constant head ache and running back and forth to the bathroom to vomit. I also work on a complaints department which is normally fine but lost my cool with a he customer today and raised my voice then disconnected the call
I'm really worried and just want to know I'm not alone in trying to hide pregnancy at work

I had to quit when I was 8 weeks. I couldn't stay out of the bathroom and working in a rehab unit I couldn't throw up at work they'd send me home but I couldn't call in because I hadn't worked there long enough. But I've taken some time off and am now looking for a part time job being my morning sickness is gone

I'm a swimming instructor, I work with kids. In the beginning of my pregnancy I was sooooo mean to my kids! I had no patience, no happiness for being there and I love my job! It is tiring though, they had me in the water 6 days a week, 5 & 1/2 hours a day. Luckily I asked to be taken out the water and they did. But with the morning sickness and fatigue I couldn't even do out the water without running to the bathroom every hour. So they cut my hours. Now I work 12 hours a week. And at 26weeks 3days even that's beginning too much lol. It will only get tougher, work I mean. But once the morning sickness wears off you'll feel a ton better!

Yikes! The vomiting must be hard. I'm not doing that, but I get horrible headaches and the exhaustion is so hard to deal with, especially since I can't remedy it with lattes. So many people report things getting easier in the 2nd trimester, so good luck!

In my first trimester I found it extremely hard to work. At 11 weeks I put in my 2 weeks notice. I was a day care teacher and worked alone most of the time. Between constant restroom runs, extreme fatigue, crankyness, I wasn't able to keep up with all the little ones like I once had. I told my boss tho and its extremely helpful to tell your supervisor. He was very helpful and sent me home a few days when I just couldn't keep up with the kids. its nice to have somebody at the workplace to have your back.

Im 14 weeks tomorrow and so far work hasnt gotten easier its onky gotten more difficult im sorry to say. In always nauseous and trying not to fall asleep and i constantly need to go to the bathroom. I just push through it because its all you really can do since the symptoms arent going to go away really until after the baby is born. Its tough but youll get through it a day at a time just try to use your days off to relax as much as you can and prepare yourself for work. I always make sure to get atleast 8 hours of sleep though im usually passed out early anyways and always eat a good protein filled breakfast with eggs, a banana or peanut butter or something along those lines. Even apples or grapes ive noticed help with my energy and even my nausea a little too. Best of luck to you!
