I work as a care assistant in an elderly persons home (trying to be very pc!) the thing is I know i should be able to do my job and obviously we need the money with the arrival of spud (may) but I am struggling to keep it together; I still have 'morning' sickness and this is esasperated by the smells (which are all so much more intense now) and I HATE throwing up at work and then just getting on with it, but I do. However a new symptom in the last few weeks is insomnia, I can fall asleep just fine then I spend the night clock watching which means even with the extreme tiredness I already have from pregnancy I only get about 4 hours sleep a night and then go into work to do a very physical job
Work have been very accommodating in allowing me to do more half shifts 6hrs instead of a couple 12 hour shifts (they would literally kill me!), but I'm still constantly struggling so I am not considering lowering my hours to part time for the foreseeable future just so I can cope
Sorry my first post in try 2 is such a moony and negative one but I just feel at my wits end- I'm off to work now with little sleep (of which none is a particularly deep sleep) and it doesn't help when people say it's preparing you for when the baby comes, especially considering as I will have more help and maternity leave- when the baby naps so will I!
I was just really hoping with the commencing of try 2 all the symptoms would be dropping off not continuing and adding new symptoms
Plus to make me feel even more useless the other pregnant girl at work (really lovely girl) is having a really easy time of it- no sickness, she's sleeping more soundly then ever before and she doesn't get tired out at work - not only does it make me jealous but makes me feel like I shouldn't be having such a hard time
Any advice appreciated
