What's Everyone's Professions???

natashaboyce

I'm a Stay at home mom as well as a part time chef, when work comes in I do private events for clients or private dinners. I'm also currently writing a cookbook about traveling around the world to 15 countries with my DD who is 3 and my husband and its filled with recipes from around the world that are simple yet unique for families to share. Another question being is how terrible thisn morning/ all day sickness has been and how do you handle it while working?? I'd love to hear from other mommies!

Cheers xoxo

I'm a 2nd grade teacher. Nausea has really only hit me when I'm hungry but it sure makes teaching tough around lunch time and the end of the day! Thankfully I haven't gotten sick yet just the upset tummy. And today (Im 10w4d) I am feeling like may have more energy. Still have slight nausea but I actually was able to cook dinner tonight which is a plus!

I'm just here to participate in the GTKY portion

I am a stay at home mom who, prior to finding out about expecting our DS, was finishing up transferring my educator's license from the state I went to school in to the state I reside in.

I am a U.S. Marine. Just like @smlowe9311 I only really get nauseous when I wait to eat, so generally as long as I remember to bring enough food with me, I am ok. I can figure out how to handle being nauseous at work, it's my pure rage in emotions that need to be put in check.

Your job kicks my job's ass. I'm an RN at a hospital. I do love my job but man, I have my days! The flexibility will be great when these babies arrive though!

I'm an event coordinator at a law firm. Its a fun, rewarding job job but I plan on making a career change after the little peanut arrives.  I want something that allows me to spend as much time with him/her as possible so I'm currently researching my options. We live in what we call a "sleeper" town outside of a city in Canada. I guess its basically a suburb, so everyone who lives there works in the city. There aren't a lot of options for child care in the town so I'm really interested in getting involved with something like that. Wouldn't mind having a job where I could take my LO along with me.

I want your job @mak1020 but I would probably get fired for eating the product

CaitLewis15

I work as an epidemiologist for the DOH. I'm a nurse as well and do my county's FIMR project case abstractions. So I look at all of the infant and fetal deaths in my county. Which makes this pregnancy feel all the more precious (and terrifying).

emillan11

I work in retail at a major cell phone company as well as go to school full time. The hormones are not boding well for those mean customers that come in :-/. Solving people's problems and entertaining them for a couple hours at a time while doing it also gets my nausea going. I like my job.. looking forward to completing school and getting into the field I like! whoo!

BbyCastillo

Admitting at an outpatient surgery center & having to deal with NPO patients at times can be rough since they can be grouchy and with my hormones it's not a good match! I wish I could be a stay at home mom Once LO gets here though! I'm looking forward to that maternity leave!

I am an interior designer for a large design firm and Arizona. We mainly work on new construction. I work full time (plus some), usually at least 50 hours a week if not more. I'm hoping to slow down my schedule more throughout this pregnancy

I am a stay at home mom but I also work for Matilda Jane (little girls and womens clothing company!)

kemp6117

Labor and delivery nurse here ! Nausea came in full force around 6 weeks and left suddenly at 9 weeks, which I am so happy about! I feel great now. It's very difficult to be mindful of what I'm doing with my body at work bc laboring mom's are very strong and it can be incredibly physical work to help them deliver ! Kicking, screaming, pushing, pulling, turning...really takes a toll!

Nurse and mom to two boys

millette2015

I'm a paediatric occupational therapist. I have yet to find a "solution" for this nausea and fatigue! Having a supportive boss helps. And never stop eating, despite not wanting to eat anything lol.

Kitta+1

I ... have a complicated job, lol.  I am the Nurse and the Activity Coordinator for a school program that assists mentally disabled adults, and I also share on call supervisor duties for two group homes that specialize in the mentally disabled.  Adults with disabilities just don't get the attention they really should, I think - they are such an undeserved population.  They are also an underfunded population, so my job duties are fluid and tend to change to address their needs, because we can't always afford to hire new staff to do things that need done.  My clients are so excited about my pregnancy, though, they truly are wonderful people.

After a while KLopez33 u get turned off sweets! I enjoy boxed cake more!!! Lol

I am a RN at a pediatric hospital:) it can be a stressful job but I love what I do!!

vamomtobe

I'm a wildlife biologist, but mostly do policy work so I'm at a desk all day. I deal with nausea by getting up to walk around when I can, but honestly being so tired is more of a problem for me!

clarkbrenn

Labor and delivery nurse. I love my job but night shifts have been tough to recover from.

casserole27

I'm a full time receptionist at a printing company. I also have my own cake business on the side. Morning sickness is terrible! I have had to miss work twice. There's a bathroom not far away from my desk if I need to run, they also let me eat as needed at my desk. But I haven't been able to keep most things down so it's hard to eat at all. My bosses check on me throughout the day to make sure I am alright. It's a great environment but I still would rather stay home and sleep then go in to work.

alinic916

A lot of nurses on here!! I'm a cardiac icu nurse. So stressful at times and 12 hour shifts can be exhausting! Luckily no nausea

I'm a medical laboratory scientist or lab tech . I'm also currently in nursing school. I'll have my BSN in August.

ChristyD6

We have a lot of nurses in the group!! I'm a physical therapist mainly doing outpatient adult neuro rehab which can be super physical. I'm also department manager so I only treat about 50% of the time and the rest is admin duties. It's a good balance for pregnancy fatigue. Mamas in healthcare, take a student towards the end of your pregnancy! I did with my first and it was great! She did most of the physical work while I supervised from a rolling stool

I am a behavior therapist at a school for children with autism. I try to keep a snack near by at all times in case I start to feel naseous and to drink a ton of water!

DSDavison

I am a Chiropractor who specializes in prenatal care and Pediatrics. I own my own business so try to schedule breaks when possible to snack. It helps with the nausea. I also see a lot of pregnant women so helps to compare stories with them.
