Exhausted!!!

marissaprince

Hello ladies!

I am currently pregnant (just under 10 weeks) with my second child. My first child is 8 (needless to say it's been a while). I am extremely exhausted, I am in a post graduate program and all I can think about in my classes is how sleepy I am. Any advise??? Also, I should mention I just can't keep food down... I've lived off of rice, water and 7 up for the past three weeks.

I'm so sorry! Sitting in class when you're exhausted is the worst. Anyway... can you chew gum? Or suck on peppermint candy or something? Basically anything to keep you occupied? I would also recommend sitting near the door so you can get up and go to the restroom if you need to move.

And... this might not be the best option, but could you tell your instructor? I told my adviser and the PIs that I work for and it's been super helpful. They're very understanding and supportive, which is great.
