If you speak to your boss you have the right to reduce your hours if you really struggle, obviously you would have to tell them you’re pregnant. I’ve reduced my hours at work for the time being due to being sick a lot, I work in a coffee shop and the smells really don’t help the sickness and no way could I carry on doing 8 hour days whist being sick all the time. My boss has been so supportive and helpful. I know you probably don’t want to tell anyone yet but your boss isn’t allowed to tell anyone else

That first trimester is exhausting! I can usually push through being tired but for some reason during the beginning, I struggle to keep motivated without napping here and there. As for your feet swelling, are you drinking enough water and maybe if you find a decent pair of slip ons you can wear without socks will keep your feet cooler?

Oh hon the first trimester tiredness is insane.
Mine kicked in around the 7 and half week mark and I still get tired now but it's no where near as bad as it was.
Hopefully they will reduce ure hours so ure not on ure feet for so long.
Ure boss shud be understanding esp if ure getting swollen feel bless you
