Anyone else out of work from first tri probs?

[October2013]

I feel like such a slug!
I'm only six weeks and I've been out of work for a week now due to just feeling like total garbage all day.
I have constant nausea, some diarreah, complete exhaustion, body weakness, dizziness, easily winded, and occassionally cramps and even chest pains..
Honestly, I feel like I'm being a sissy because it's so early in my pregnancy and I'm already taking time off... I work in an office, fairly easy job. (although the whole building only has one bathroom which scares the crap out of me when I think about my constant morning sickness.... )
I want to be strong and buck up and go to work, because I'm going for broke here, but even going up and down the stairs in my own house gets me winded and I have to lay here and talk myself into getting up for a few minutes before I actually do it. How pathetic.
Anyone else feeling bad enough to miss time from work this early? Anyone else get winded by the easiest things? Or is this an abnormal feeling...

Be sure to eat plenty of fruits and green veggies for the energy they give you. It may help quite a bit. Other than that, I don't have any advice. Hope it gets better for you!!

I'm in the exact same situation! I'm 7 weeks pregnant and the ms kicked in about a week and a half ago, and I've been useless! I even told my boss and another co worker so they wouldn't think I was just being slack. I feel even worse tho because I'm a waitress and only work like 3 shifts a week, but lately I'm lucky to make it in for one shift a week, and then I just feel horrible about how slack I am because I think of all the people who are just as far along as me and managing to work a full 40 hr work week and I can't even drag my ass outta bed for 3 lousy shifts! I just hope it ends soon, my house is disgusting, all I do is lay in bed, eat and sleep. And when I have the occasional burst of energy I use it to make it to work, or to go out and grab groceries or do something public so people don't start wondering why I have become a complete shut in! I haven't told many yet (not even my parents) and I usually have a pretty active social life, so it's starting to get hard to make up excuses why I don't go out with friends or to dinners any more or even have my parents over for that matter...

That's exactly how I feel! I question whether or not it's normal to feel THIS sick this soon. I don't know if this is a normal pregnancy. At least you can manage to work a day. I haven't been back since last Monday and I just started that job Monday lol! Oh jeez...

My dr gave me zofran with my last pregnancy, and it helped a TON. It made my morning sickness very tolerable. So far this pregnancy I don't have it bad at all, but I have a feeling in a couple days once my progesterone supplements kick in good I will have :/ I really hope you ladies feel better soon..

I am going to my first prenatal appt tomorrow and I'm going to BEG for Zofran!

Lol don't give me that much credit, I haven't been to work since Friday and I'm not going back until Friday. I have a doc appointment tomorrow though and I'm hoping for some miracle drug to fix me up! My house is soon going to self implode if I don't clean it soon.... Most of my friends said they have never been this sick, except for one friend, so I hope it's normal!

I have my doc appt tomorrow, too. I can't wait for this part to be over! My house is repulsive, full of dirty dishes and laundry, and driving me stir crazy.
