I’m 5 weeks with my second and dying of exhaustion and nausea. Let my kid watch two movies this morning while I slept and then also slept during their nap. Wtf. I have some part time freelance work I need to do and can’t find the energy at all. Almost thankful to have lost my job, I don’t think I could handle it. I remember if being like this the first time, but man.

The first time, you didn’t have another kid. Everything is harder in a million ways. Hang in there. This part will be over soon (ish).

Oh man, I was on meds for both mine with the nausea. With my first I napped whenever I could and woke up at the last possible moment for work. But with my second I was lucky enough to be with a company that was a virtual office and working from home. So I would check in, take a nap and then get back to work after an hour or so. I remember running to the bathroom, barfing, and immediately grabbing a hard candy and jumping on a client zoom. There’s no bit of advice I can give to “fix” anything. Just keep up the great work. Whatever you accomplish you are a rock star.

Both times I’ve been pregnant I wondered how other women survived this phase.

Most importantly... Congratulations!

Just try to count your blessings during the few seconds you don’t feel like up chucking. And then be thankful for the few second you didn’t like up chucking. 🤣

Congratulations again. 🎉

Has anyone here had a difficult recovery post-egg retrieval? It’s been 3 days and I’m still in a lot of pain. The medical team said I should expect to be uncomfortable for 5-7 days or more due to the high number of eggs retrieved (=very swollen ovaries) and it will take 2 weeks to get back to normal.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.
