Workweek struggle

jjodom · May 2015

anyone else struggling to get through their day because they feel like crap?? Wishing I could just go home and take a nap.

blondiii428 · May 2015

I hear ya! My morning sickness has been awful the past week and I'm so tired. I would love to be able to veg on the couch and watch Netflix :-<

VesperLove · May 2015

Absolutely. I'm a trainer so I'm often up in front of a group teaching and when I'm done (I had one yesterday from 8-12pm) I'm practically ready to fall over. I got home yesterday at 5pm and went straight to bed ... slept through until this morning. Seriously. I'm a horrible employee right now with how little energy and focus I have

raevanb · May 2015

I'm in the same boat. I work in finance and focus is a huge part of my job. Unfortunately, since I have found out the good news my mind just hasn't been on the job. I'm hoping after my first US tomorrow, my mind will be a little more at ease. I have a feeling the fatigue won't be going anywhere for a while though.

The struggle is REAL!!!

foliver82 · May 2015

Omg
I was morning sickness free up until today!
Holy nausea!

ammnam14 · May 2015

I'm a housewife and can't function properly! Hats off to you working mommas!

esscapelle · May 2015

I'm just having a hard time concentrating. All I want to do is go home and work from there, but with my job I can't.

My tiredness has mostly subsided, but that doesn't mean I actually WANT to do anything.

foliver82 · May 2015

@esscapelle I couldn't agree more

Taylovesbrad · May 2015

Literally so tired of this. It truely is exhasting. At 11 weeks now so praying so hard that I feel better soon.

I get home at night and have to go to bed with a cold clothe.

We will make it. I hope we all feel better soon!!!

The struggle is real here! I was up twice in the middle of the night to go #2. Although that is not the ideal time, I was happy with the relief. I am having a horrible time with allergies so I can't always tell if my puny tummy is from MS or from sinus drainage. The MS roller coaster ride during the day is no fun. I haven't felt well in the late afternoons so I've had trouble figuring out what I want to eat, let alone what can I smell when cooking. I feel bad for DH because he has been working so hard at his job plus coming home and doing big projects around the house and he's not getting a good dinner (so far: new closet doors in all the bedrooms, drywalled my laundry room, next up: solid core doors for the bedrooms and drywalling the den in the basement). He's being super patient with everything and trying to understand, but I feel like I'm dropping the ball around the house. Thanks for letting me vent!

beccabeeee · May 2015

Yes on a daily basis, I look forward to my days off so I can simply sleep all day so I can feel relief. My nausea is really bad this morning I don't know how I'm gunna manage at work today.

evemis · May 2015

I feel like that pretty much every day. I know just what you're going through! This is one of the few times that I had an office job (I'm a teacher) where I could hide behind a desk for the day...

beccabeeee · May 2015

I wish I worked behind a desk! Lol I work with food so it's a constant struggle...it's like everywhere I go there's nasty smells I can't avoid it's driving me crazy

tinydove · May 2015

Definitely. Today has been a "fun" combination of nausea and pounding headache-- laying down and sleeping is really the only thing that helps at this point. I've been really tempted to take the rest of the day off, but what if there is one that is worse? Don't want to waste it on a day that sucks, but is semi-tolerable.

navyblueladybug · May 2015

Being a nurse right now is a love/hate thing. I love that being so busy allows me to take my mind off how I'm feeling. Plus being on the move for 12+ hours keeps me from feeling tired. If I sat at a desk I would fall asleep! I also only work 2-3 days a week, which is awesome! But 12+ hours on night shift really drains me and I crash for 2 days after that! And let me tell you about the smells... Ick! Plus it's so physical and can be dangerous.

MEMichelson · May 2015

YES! By 2:00 I'm completely worthless!! They say that second trimester things will go back to normal...I still have 3 weeks until then, hoping it will go by fast. I'm an admin so I sit at my desk most days, but the sitting and not moving does not help

raevanb · May 2015

My emotions got the better of me today and I randomly started crying at my desk when i was looking at a picture of my friend's baby on facebook.... I havent announced it to anyone at work yet but they may know soon if i cant stop the random tears!

rgz · May 2015

Just left work an hour early to come home and nap...and of course I'm on here

My auditing job makes for some loooong afternoons of staring at spreadsheets when I'm tired!

rebeccaedworthy · May 2015

Yep same boat, my job is fairly physical and I've been calling in sick about once a week, the nausea and drowsiness is killing me.

leahfaith35 · May 2015

I can't wait to tell my boss and co-workers that I'm Prego. They will then understand why I have been such a run-down mess the last 6 weeks Haha

It really doesn't! Looking at my computer screen all day is starting to make me dizzy in addition to being nauseous.

Although, I used to teach kindergarten and I REALLY can't imagine doing that right now...

lalg28 · May 2015

I have my own office thank God. But when I try to fall asleep at my desk people keep coming by or calling and wanting things. I'm like... can't you see I'm napping?

Melissadmag · May 2015

Yup, I dread work lately, it's too bad we can't just get pardoned from it for a while, till the 2nd trimester or something when things are supposedly supposed to settle down.

mperotti220 · May 2015

So exhausted!! On top of wanting to sleep...one of my students at work pointed to my belly and asked if there was a baby in there! I'm only 8 weeks 1 day! Guess I'm showing a little! Kids are smart!!

kharley · May 2015

I've thrown up a couple of times at work. Its's hard for me because I work overnight from 9pm to 7am and my body is so exhausted. I'm nauseous and people keep talking to me. It's awful.

Cjaff70 · May 2015

I feel all your pain. I can barely function I'm so nauseous. Staying home doesn't help and going to work does not help. I just hope it settles down there is no way I just don't see how I can do this for five more weeks.

susiaustin · May 2015

I'm a cost accountant and 2 weeks after I found out, when morning sickness and tiredness started at 5 weeks I had a full blown physical inventory for quarter end, talk about exhaustion to the max. It was to the point after the first day when we were working from 7am-midnight my boss already suspected she mandated I didn't come in until 9:30 the next day, but I didn't get off till 9:30 at night. My boss trying to go easy on me with how late I work, and trying to keep it to my normal 8-5 except during closing, and has been bringing in snacks that she knows I can eat, have I mentioned I LOVE my boss, but to top it off the end of June/beginning of July when I'm going to be nice showing and 18 weeks in Georgia heat we doing physical inventory #2 for this year...

Filipanfonseca · May 2015

Hi there! On the same boat here. I have been exhausted and hardly can focus on my job. Fortunately, I have my own business and work from home and the past couple of days I took a 10min break mid afternoon to read a book and just straight up fell asleep.

And nausea... Argh. Haven't vomit yet but just uncomfortable all the time. Thankfully going to the my first pre-natal app today so very excited about it!!!

THIS THIS THIS THIS!!! I can't wait to be able to explain my moodiness/tiredness/crabiness!!

candicek15 · May 2015

I've been taking medication for the MS and it is helping a lot. But all I want to do is sleep. This morning I actually closed my office door, pushed two chairs together, and tried to take a short nap. The guilt and fear of getting caught made it impossible to fall asleep though. Guess I'll have to try again at lunch! lol

jjodom · May 2015

Yep. I wasn't at work 10minutes before getting a call from my husband saying a coworker hit his car. The rush of emotions sent be to the bathroom to hide my tears. Lol I'm still feeling nausea without getting sick

I almost wish I would. The doctor told me on Tuesday that I would probably feel like this for another 4 weeks.
