Does anyone else feel exhausted? I’m at week 16 now, and I need a nap daily! I remember being slightly tired in first trimester but I feel as if I can’t function right now! It’s definitely worse after lunch/eating. Any tips or tricks please??

I regularly take a 20 minute nap after lunch. Cannot function without that.

I was SO tired at the very beginning of my second trimester. Weeks 14-18 I was dead to the world. But it took a turn for the better around 18 weeks and I found my energy levels going up. I hope the same happens for you!

My advice is to rest when you need it! Take lil power naps during the day if you can swing it. I’d do mine during lunch. Or take a short snooze right when work ends. Sometimes I’d even just go to bed hella early or let myself sleep in. Don’t beat yourself up if you’re not as productive or can’t find the energy to exercise. Your body is working extra hard right now, so let it rest and do its thing.

Should I consider this as a fake recruitement.

Please let me know your thoughts.

For those with company equity or unit incentive programs, is it common to forfeit vested equity upon voluntary departure? Explained as a “retention tool” but essentially held captive by a payout since the contract says equity doesn’t fully vest at 100% until the company is resold. If I quit at any time before a sale date, I lose all of the equity that has already vested. This was offered to a few employees in leadership but feels like not that great of a deal to me. Is this normal?

I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
