Symptoms getting in the way of work...

stephdoes

Is anyone else dealing with symptoms getting in the way of their work? 

I work two part time jobs, one as a teacher and one as a communications director for a small non-profit, and the combination of nausea and being tired all. the. damn. time. has meant forgetting things and not getting stuff done in a timely manner. Additionally I feel guilty because sometimes while I’m sitting there feeling like I’m about to puke my guts out, I’ll read or watch videos because consumption is much easier that production... and I can’t even consume for work right now because it’s finals and newsletters and produce produce produce before the year is up.

Anyway, at least one boss is noticing the difference and now I feel like I have to tell them before I’m ready (waiting on ultrasound and bloodwork).

How are you handling it and still taking the rest that you need? Are you being upfront with your boss/clients, or are you just citing a “change in heath” or “not feeling well”?

I went through this last pregnancy and it sucked. I had days I had to go home, days I snuck a nap in in my car, days I vomited on the side of the building outside, and every day was just a struggle. This pregnancy I’m a SAHM and I like that much more

@stephdoes you can’t delete it. Over time it will get pushed to the bottom of the thread list. No worries. 😊
