Pregnant and working
Fatigue and working full-time
SuusGuest ·
Hi everyone!
I'm almost 7 weeks pregnant and I work full-time in a shop. Since the beginning of my pregnancy, I've been really tired, and I'm already yawning and nodding off in the shop in the afternoons.
Physically, it's quite tough; in the evenings, I can only lie on the couch and let my household chores slide.
My colleagues don't know I'm pregnant yet because I haven't had my first ultrasound. I'd prefer to tell my employer after 12 weeks, but I notice they've already realized I'm not my usual self!
How did you handle this? I'm worried about the coming weeks because my contract ends in July.
Any wise advice is very welcome!!!

First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! And that tiredness is so relatable! During my first pregnancy, I worked at the headquarters of a well-known sports chain. The commute was 40 minutes there and almost an hour back, and I often rode with a colleague, so I was basically just sleeping in that car! It was really hard to hold on to, as soon as I sat down (in the car or at home) I’d fall asleep. Luckily, this goes away completely after 12-14 weeks. So just hang in there
It will come to an end soon.
