I’ve been having a pretty rough first trimester with nausea and just having zero energy like my body feels like it’s made of out cement most days and work is soooo hard. I commute 2 hours and I’m a hairdresser so I’m on my feet all day and it’s very social. Are you guys working? WFH? Stay at home moms? Any tips on getting energy back up? I’m 9 weeks today. My fiancé said I could take a LOA if I wanted to but I don’t wanna put any financial stress on us with a baby on the way

I work from home and I decided to take unpaid leave through the first trimester just to really be able to focus on resting! My work has been super understanding and I’m really happy I did it.

I'm working in retail and it's not as bad. My schedule varies week by week so it's not always the same hours every week. I think my most exhausting day is when I work my 8 hour shift on Saturday.

I’m glad that works for you ❤️

good for you girl. I’m honestly considering it it seems worth it for my sanity and my fiances lol

exactly! I was like no amount of money is worth my physical and mental rest right now 😂 It’s been such a blessing, especially with a toddler too. Other than resting I’ve really been able to give him my undivided attention ♥️
