I'm Currently Feeling:  | I know how you feel. For my job, I travel all over the Midlands and parts of Wales visiting care homes to do eye tests. Some days I can drive over 200 miles. It was tiring when I wasn't expecting, but now it's a living hell!!
I also don't get paid for days off sick, but have taken yesterday and today off as I have been feeling so grotty. At the end of the day, my health has to come first. I can't really afford to do it, but if I didn't I would be really poorly I'm sure. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Unfortunately I wasn't able to handle the morning sickness and tiredness plus the stress of my new job. DH and I finally decided that it was better for me to quit the job and do temp work when possible because it was really affecting my (and I'm sure the baby's) health. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | All I can say is you're number one and two there with your baby.
I am 5 weeks and had to tell my boss that I can't come in today as the doctor has told me to put my feet up and rest. He's not happy because I'm the only one who is in my department but me and my baby are more important than work. Financially it can be a pain but you have to weigh up the pros and cons. The possibilities. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My jobs not really stressfull (well most of the time) and I can't afford to not work as I'm still living in my flat and can't leave my flat mate yet. I really can't afford to take time off sick but I can't carry on like this I'm practically falling asleep at my desk first thing in the morning and by the time it's time for me to go home I feel like I've been asleep for an hour!
Guess I'll just have to try and sort out something with work, I don't want to let them down and I can't afford to not earn.

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hi Moulder, have you found any remedies to help ease your tummy? If you wake up earlier it may help as your body can adjust, lay in bed for a while sitting up, drink a bit of water, eat a few crackers maybe. Also foods with ginger help a lot. I had terrible morning sickness and my doc was able to prescribe me something so that I could manage at work, and the tablets were quite safe for lil one. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'm finding that my worst "morning sickness" actually tends to come in the evening. That said, I drink lots of ginger ale, and days i'm feeling particularly icky (like today) I have some ginger tea that I can sip on that helps my tummy quite a bit. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I used to have to get up an hour and a half earlier when I worked in my first pergnancy just to get myself together and feeling a bit human, as I always felt so rough when I first got up, and literally fall into bed when I got home.......not a good life, but I ended up packing up work early in the end. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I don't know your work schedule or anything, but try going to bed earlier than usual. If your tummy is bothering you (and you're not alone in this), try drinking ginger ale, sprite or 7 up. Sprite has been my best friend (before prego I hardly ever drank pop) but it eases my belly. If your employer will let you work from home, I would take them up on that offer. I feel pretty sluggish on most days, but I have to work. I'm at a desk job so I have it easier than most people. Try taking naps, going to bed earlier and drinking ginger ale to calm your tummy. Hang in there and I hope you get to feeling better. Some days are better than others. |
