How do people work full time during the first trimester? Tired all the time.

You work hard and keep going. This should be your new mantra. Consider it a practice of what’s to come.

I feel you OP. I am 15 weeks today and while nausea is gone fatigue almost feels like it is getting worse!! Waiting for my 2nd trimester relief.

It’s so hard! I really didn’t know how I would survive with my second—severely nauseous all the time, working full time as a HS teacher, and caring for my 2 year old son. I have a great partner but it was brutal. I really did feel like it was insane that we ask women to do this plus work. I realize some women feel great but some of us....not so much

You were hired to do a job not sleep. If you have to barf then do so in the bathroom as no one else wants to smell your vomit. I do not believe pregnant women deserve special privileges. Do your job or quit.

Pregnancy can be physically debilitating for some. Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms from any other physiological cause could be eligible for sick leave or short term disability.

These kinds of comments aren't helpful except to stroke your own ego. Hope it's worth it for you. Kindly move on and vent your insecurities elsewhere.

OP, hang in there. I'm sorry this is so tough. The vast majority of us are feeling for you - ignore these asshats.
