Teachers first trimester
I'm 6w+5 and since week 5 been feeling so sick and completely exhausted. I have a 2 year old too. I can barely get out of bed or do much at all. I'm on easter holidays at the minute and due to go back in just over a week but I don't know how I'm meant to do it?!
I walk 25 mins to the train station, get a train for 30 mins and a bus for 15. Leave my house at 6.30am. Then teacher high school kids all day.
I can barely walk outside for 5 minutes. What do I do?!

Thank you, all good suggestions. I've only been there since September so I'm a bit worried about their reaction! I'm sorry you're feeling so rubbish too but that's amazing you've been able to take the time for you!
Hi Kat, did the fatigue get any better ? I am also a teacher, dragging myself to work, dont know how to survive 5 days week

Oh Kat, I don’t know how you’re going to do it!? I’m feeling exactly the same at 11 weeks but am self employed so I’ve just had to take the past 4 weeks off. I used to be a teacher so I know that even if you take time off you’ll have to set cover and that in itself is exhausting. Can you speak to the school and explain how you’re feeling? Maybe they could cover your first period so you can get in a bit later? Or if there’s a ppa cover floating around they could come and take over in an afternoon? Or just take some sick days if you need them!
