I don't but am a primary school teacher so in from 8am and don't leave until 6pm- I found the first tri very hard as you can't just take it easy when you have 30 6 year olds wanting constant attention. It does pass though hon-at 12 weeks I started to feel fab again. X

Nights I found easier as I was able to sleep better through sheer exhaustion... I went down to do more short shifts than long days too...
