Ugh I'm sorry. I agree with @IFinTN‌ and get zofran. I remember taking naps on the weekend. Actually first 3 months I couldn't go anywhere to any social functions with friends because of being so tired and nauseous. Second tri is not easy either lol. The stretching pulling cramping is not pleasant in my book or I'm just a baby! I don't have a "hard" job where I have to be sharp and appear places but 11 hr work day 5 days a week is killing me I have no advice haha.

Hang in there girl!!

I wish I knew of something to tell you for the exhaustion. I don't work so I am able to crash when it hits. It has been so bad this pregnancy though. But it is finally starting to ween some, now that I am 26 weeks. I can actually go whole days with no nap.

Omg between ms and exhaustion this lo killed me ! Good luck ! Dr told me lots of water and if held down lots of protein. My exhaustion let up at about 13 weeks! Good luck !

That sounds like a lot! The only thing I can think of is to try to schedule extra rest time or days off around those weeks. I've been sleeping 10-12 hour nights and find that it helps.

I feel for ya - I recently had a new business pitch to go to in the midst of my total non functioning MS - I have been getting away with it so far b/c I work from home. I dreaded it and felt horrible getting ready (squeezing in my suit and pumps lol) and the drive there too. But to my amazement when I got in the room, my adrenaline kicked in and I felt fine. Though about 20 minutes into my drive home I felt like crap again. Maybe you'll experience the same? And agree w/ pp- maybe you could plan for some extra downtime outside of work and cut back on other commitments during this stressful crunch time (if possible). GL - you can make it!

I second adrenaline + recuperation time after.  Hope you feel better soon.  Good luck and let us know how it goes!

zofran was my life saver and when I hit 2nd tri I started drinking half/calf.

I feel for you. I was like that when I was pg with my son. With this one? I am so nauseous all the time I can barely function.

Do you exercise? I know that sounds like crazy-talk when you are THIS tired, but maybe try walking around the block or drinking cold water when you get really tired? Or—keep hard candy in your purse to give you a quick sugar rush?

I know everyone is different but my last pregnancy in Feb was twins and all the symptoms hit early, fast and hard. I couldn't even keep my eyes open past 7pm and I felt sick all the time. Some days I wondered how I was going to get through the work day.

I am not sure abou this pregnancy as I just found out Friday night but the symptoms don't feel as bad this time...yet.

It's hard to deal with a hectic schedule and  the stresses of work, good luck!

I completely understand. I have two multi-day trials consecutive weeks starting December 1st. I really really hope that I am feeling better by then. The idea of a first time Appeals Court appearance might put me over the edge.

I am a solo practicing defense attorney in the Juvenile Court with a specialty in representation of child rape victims in care and protection proceedings.

Three years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter I had to run out of a courtroom while speaking to throw up before anyone knew I was pregnant. Not awesome.

On the upside, I joked in a lobby conference that if the judge didn't accept our settlement agreement the day of trial I could go into labor in his courtroom. Good times.

I'm having a hrs enough time trying to figure out how to get through a conference next week between the nausea and the fatigue.  I can't imagine making court appearances right now.  Luckily in IP prosecution I can hide in my office all day (most days).
