Hey everyone its me again. I need to make a decision about my life. As you all know I am about 7 wks pregnant. I have been having morning sickness this entire week and I have been having a really hard time. This is my daily life.

Wake up at 5:00, throw up. Get to work at 6:30, throw up. Attempt to eat lunch. Go home at 3:30. Make dinner and clean house. Then at 5:30 its time to go to school. Then its school until 8:45. I get home then go straight to bed and do it all over again. This is how my entire pregnancy will be if I stay in school. I go to school 4 days during the week and all day Saturday.

Is this kind of schedule healthy for me and my baby? It doesnt feel healthy. I see my doc next friday so Im sure I can ask her, but I need to make this choice ASAP because of issues with school.

Thanks for all of your future replys.....

It is a fine schedule. The morning sickness is obviously causing some major problems, but if there were no morning sickness, I think you'd feel a lot better. That should ease up within the next few weeks.

Good luck!

That is awfully tiring-sounding! I wish I had some advice for you. I have never been pregnant, so I am not sure how much is considered too much. I am sorry I am not much help, but if you ever just want to talk and someone to vent to, pm me! Sad Hopefully some of these girls can help you out and give you some advice!

I've been there, done that and morning sickness DOES suck, but the good like is it will probably ease up after awhile..if it's to hard on you couldn't you cut back your hours for school??

my schedule was pretty much like that too. I was working from 6:30 to 5 then straight to school from 5:30 to 6:45, then home to clean and cook and do laundry. I was lucky if I got to bed by 11. I was dead tired all the time. I never really had morning sickness, but I did get a little queazy. I found that ginger snaps were good for easing it and also watermelon and ginger-ale.

thanks acruz!

I have decided to drop my math class that meets twice per week and I will keep my classes on mon, wed, and sat. Which are English 202, Comm, and Biology. I can still maintain school and have a little more time off. I just didnt want to give up school you know? My entire life has changed and will continue to.

Its just shocking you know? Like Im goona be a mother ! Holy cow!

this was my schedual when i was pregnant, wake up about 6 school by 7 or 9 depending on the day, work after school (either 12 or 2 again depending on the day) then mondays and wendsdays school at 6 until 9 sleep....and i typically worked weekends too

it will be ok, just get naps in whenever you can and i do mean WHENEVER, even if its just 10 minutes take it
