I'm in my tenth week! We don't have another scan until 14 weeks, but I am still feeling very tired, sick, and hungry! I am hoping that after the 1st tri is over in a few weeks, that will start to get a bit better and I can enjoy the pregnancy a bit more. I've seen the mw 3 times already but only because I'm high risk, all was good at the 6 week scan with a healthy hb and lo measuring perfectly on with my O date!
How are you coping with work???? I'm seriously struggling this week and I just want to cry and go home....
Feel awful...then feel awful for moaning

I cut down to only 15 hours a week for several weeks, I normally work at least 40, but am now back to 35 to 40. When the ms was real bad work was miserable, I'd go in for three or four hours five days a week and was done. I'm lucky to have a job where that was possible. But after keeping nothing down, the mw prescribed me Zofran and that made work much easier, and how I'm back to full time. I still feel sick, but not throwing up every ten minutes so I can get things done. Not telling them was the hardest part, but they know about my endo, so I've just said it's really bad this month and they all believe it because they don't really know what it is, just something I have lots of appointments for and have had to have surgery for as well as causes me to be out of work a few days a month at least.
If I didn't have that to fall back on, I would have had to come up with something else, but my best advice would be to tell one or two people you are close with, and have them help cover for you. That is what I had to do, I work with over 50 people, and told 2 of them to help cover for me when I'm sick, tired, ect. That was what made it all tolerable, just having people who could back me up when I needed it. And also nice to have the support as I have only told one person other than them. But it does get easier! The last couple weeks I have started to feel a bit better, not totally miserable even though I am still getting sick, and honestly, just knowing it will not last forever has helped. It's like, I just have to get through a few more weeks, and hopefully will feel back to almost normal. And if you do need to go home, and your work is like mine and thats possible, do it! If you need to just lay down and rest, make sure you do, it will make you feel better emotionally, even if not physically.
