Re: Being pregnant and going to work
Congratulations, i am lucky to stay home with this pregnancy (due in 2 weeks). But with the first I worked for almost 4 months. I was extremely nauseous and dizzy. I would make sure a garbage was close by cause I was throwing up occasionally until my doctor gave me some anti-nausea medication. At that point I had been dehydrated and taken to the hospital from really bad morning sickness that would not stop and had been steadily losing weight. So I found I could not get through the day without that medicine (metoclopramide).
Most of the time at work I was so busy, i tried not to think about any discomfort I had or an fatigue. I made sure I ate a healthy lunch and drank plenty of fluid. My job involved being on my feet all day and some heavy lifting as well. It was very tiring, so I decided to leave. I didn't want to risk my own health or the baby's so i decided to stay home at that point. Good luck to you and I hope you have an easy and healthy pregnancy Inshallah.
