I missed two days last week and one day the week before. I'm 7W5D today. I've had horrible constipation and on diet restrictions to manage it so I'm experiencing extreme fatigue and just hate food right now??.

I'm glad to be on summer vacation as well. I don't have to go back until Aug. 7 at 8am. So hopefully I'll be in my 2nd trimester. I'm getting my returners next year so it won't be so difficult in the beginning.

I swear I was just telling my fiancé that the system is so inconsiderate of pregnant women lol. There should definitely be a first trimester leave lol & Here in TN, not all places honor maturity leave meaning you won't get paid. Only plus is your guaranteed the job when your leave is up.

I'm only 5w5d and already feeling this way. I'm a teacher, too, so I'm off right now, but I can't bring myself to even shower some days. Our school goes back early, so in 4 weeks I'm heading back to work. Don't know how I'm going to do it.

Lol i agree pp! First trimester leave would be awesome. I just feel like sh*t all the time. No makeup and i havent brushed through my hair in 2 days ?. Its naturally curly so thats a job on its own lol i just brush back the frizz and put it back in a bun. Ill get around to it...

I'm 6weeks6days today, ready to quit my job no joke. The smells make me gag cause I'm in a restaurant; I'm crying over literally nothing, so tired at work and I just don't wanna put up with it right now ? why isn't their a first trimester leave.

I've missed one day already. I actually went to work and couldn't take it so i clocked right back out and went home. I'm really trying not to take off because I need to accumulate my PTO and save so that I can take 4 months off.

Have any of you other ladies missed work ? & there is flexibility but I just don't want to over do it you know ?

Bless your heart! I feel bad almost everyday and I'm wondering when it will get better. I'm 12w2d and it's been constant. I teach school so I'm home for summer, so I don't worry about work. I sure hope you feel better enough to work. Perhaps you can talk with your manager to see if there's flexibility in your schedule.

Girls I keep reminding my self it's all for the food of the baby but this struggle is so real I can't eat ?

Hopefully it's just this first trimester mess that's got us like this cause I'm almost ready to walk out of work I'm so ill ?

Oh yea me feeling like complete trash . I'm one day behind you 7 weeks 2 days

Girl I feel the same way. Especially with an upset stomach and nausea. It's like one minute I'm fine and the next I feel like total crap. Ugh, I guess that's the price for the miracle inside us
