Work and Fatigue

AslichterAslichter member
in 2nd Trimester
I am 23 weeks, working as a full time store manager in retail.  I have been beyond exhausted the past few days despite sleeping relatively well and eating properly.  Anyone else experience this much exhaustion and how can you combat it while still remaining functional during the work day?

    Yes I work full time, husbands will be traveling all month and I have a toddler at home. I drink lots and lots of coffee! Hate to say it but with kids and pregnancy I feel like regardless how tired I am...it is what it is. Just keep on cranking because sleep is a thing of the past! The only thing I will do on the weekend which will I'm sure NEVER happen again when the next arrives, I will try to nap when DS naps. That is about it!

    All I can say is that you have my sympathy. I used to be a retail manager and that job kicks your ass on a good day, so I can't imagine doing it while pregnant.

    I was a retail manager with my last pregnancy, and halfway through, I just couldn't do it anymore and found a job at a bank. I just couldn't do it.

    I've been through exhaustion phases throughout my pregnancy, haven't had much luck combatting.  However they didn't last more than a couple of days.  Good luck!
