Hey mummy-to-be, don’t feel guilty! I also experienced e same till I reach mid 2nd trimester and I even dose off at work (in office) till people ard me spot it 🤭 I understand it is very hard to keep yourself awake even if with sour plum, sweets etc. So, just take a nap whenever your body wanna rest since you are WFH. Once you had your power nap then rush all your work at once.. You can do it and congrats to you!
if it's really hard to focus, maybe you can request to take unpaid leave for the first trimester to rest, provided if your company is able to arrange manpower to cover you for that period. Usually morning sickness and fatigue will get better in the second trimester.
Hmm, that’s true. Didn’t think about taking unpaid.
Am also facing similar situation. So planning to quit in few weeks. Being in management position it's difficult for me to take leaves or take naps in between as I have to continuously be either on chat or zoom calls. So decided to quit and focus on pregnancy.
Oh i see. That’ll be great. I hope you’ll get enough rest and a good break to nurture the pregnancy 😊😊
You can try to take some leaves to rest. I also napped at home during lunch time previously. My energy level start to get better in 2nd trimester and I can finally focus more on work so persevere on!
Yeap, I’ll definitely wanna take some leave so that I can have shorter weeks
That’s one of the reason I resigned from my current workplace. Serving notice now. I’m current 5 weeks, decide to quit and rest. After that i will still go back to work
Yup yup. Don’t think it’s possible for me. Not very realistic considering that we need to save up for baby and our house.
