I’m 9 weeks pregnant and trying to keep my work groove going while not vomiting on everyone. Can’t wait until I get through the first trimester and feel comfortable being open about this whole mess.

First trimester is so hard. So tired. Keep crackers and ginger chews in your desk.

I think I slept at my desk through my whole first trimester. Somewhere around 13 weeks the fog lifted and I was full of energy until about 30 weeks. So hang on... it will get better.

I was there not too long ago too. Hang in there and take it easy ❤️

Congrats mama! I’m hitting 30 weeks this week so know how you feel. It gets better. If you have closed off conference rooms that you book for a quick 15-30min nap take advantage.

Ask your doctor for Diclegis - saved my life!

Unisom and B6. It helps a lot.

I'm almost at 8 weeks and feel awwwwful. Praying it gets better after the first trimester.

One of my best friends growing up just passed away. We lost contact with each other a year or two after graduating high school and I recently came to learn he was was battling cancer the past 5 years and ultimately succumbed to the illness. He hid it well from everyone and led a very private life during it all. To make matters worse, he had just turned 25. Seeing pictures of the condition he was in towards the end of his fight broke my heart. I wish I had known so I could’ve been there for him.

Has anyone tried Apposta?

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭
