m/s worse with inactivity?

LisalovesDarren

So I have been home from work all summer since I'm a teacher. Up until about 2 weeks ago I was busy with a new house, tutoring, etc. Now that I am less busy and m/s has totally kicked in, I am wondering if it will feel worse or better once I am back to teachers.

Part of me thinks that I feel crappier when I am stuck in the house all day with nothing to do but think about how gross I feel. Maybe I will feel a little more human when I go back to work....or maybe it's just wishful thinking...any other teachers (or anyone else) notice a difference?

I don't work.  But, I have nticed that my m/s is much worse if I sleep in during the AM.  I do much better if I get out of bed, shower and come down stairs when H goes to work.

i still get sick during the day but it doesn't loom over me s much as if I were to sleep in.

In my experience keeping busy only helps with the exhaustion. My m/s doesn't go away. Even when I worked full-time with DD#1. M/s peaks from weeks 6-9 so you could be noticing it more because it has increased with your increase in hormones being produced. Although, I will hold out hope for you that it is less noticeable. Everyone is different.

Sorry but for me I find that it is worse. All I can think about when I am at work is how much I wish I could curl up on my bed.

I find that I have less m/s when I get up at 5:30 and walk in the am.  Running made it worse, so I'm down to walking with arm weights.  It seems to get my body working more functionally.

My nausea was much worse on my days off. Being busy at work helped me keep my mind off of it.

I work from home and I generally feel much worse during the week when I'm here by myself than I do on the weekends when I'm out and about with my husband.  I've noticed that even going out for a walk helps me feel better.

It's probably because it's my second baby, but I've been wondering this about a lot of things lately. I am already more uncomfortable than I ever was with my first pregnancy. I was working then, and it was the middle of my busiest year ever, but now I'm a SAHM and have the option of napping when my son naps. I have noticed I feel worse now and more tired than I did then! There might be something to your theory!

I'm off for the summer too and I have been feeling so crappy this week, just laying around the house feeling miserable. I went in to work today to get some things done before starting next week and I felt great! So I definitely think it at least got my mind off of things, that's for sure!

I have to agree. I have not been sick, but I feel terrible on my days off. I work PT and I feel MUCH better when I get up and go to work.

I agree 100%. That was the case with both of my previous pregnancies (not there yet w/ this one, but I'm sure it will be again.)

Not sure if it's psychological or physical- but I def felt better when I got up, ate, showered and stayed active.  As a matter of fact, on days that I would stay home I would wonder HOW I possibly had made it thru work the day before considering I felt so crappy at present time.

My best advice (if you even want to hear it) is keep eating.  Whatever you can tolerate- EAT it.  Snack all day. I found that once my stomach was empty there was no coming back.

GL!!

I'm a teacher too and I've been sitting around loafing for the past couple weeks with horrible m/s.  I am praying that when school starts up in the coming weeks that I will no longer be feeling this way.  Please, please, please don't let me have to run out of the classroom to vomit!!  :-)

I'll be in my 2nd tri when we begin, but that doesn't mean much until I reach that point and experience it myself.  Keeping my fingers crossed that it will all go away.

My sympathies :-)
