Feeling Bad

I been feeling very tired during my pregnancy , currently in my 17 weeks . Feeling giddy , nauseous , lower abdominal cramps/pain sometimes during the day. And I got no mood to work at all, but I can’t keep taking MC / leave as I have used up quite a bit of it during my 1st 2 mths of my pregnancy as I have very bad morning sickness. Now sometimes I will force myself to go work when I’m not feeling well which only make myself depress more , some of my colleagues (who never get pregnant and is not married)understands me and will let me rest inside the office but some (who is a mother and father) don’t , they will just give you faces or give bad remarks when you rest inside or when you took MC/Leave ,and cause I’m working in service line which makes things worse and I don’t always get good customers and was even shouted at once when I’m at work . I still got 5more mths to go and I don’t know how long more I can endure . I’m really tired

I have PhD and I know I won't be able to commit 100% so I took a year off just for my pregnancy. Others call me stupid and selfish but I regret nothing. Now I spent time just reading and preparing for our baby. I'm glad that I bravely took this path despite all others say otherwise. They always say pregnancy is easy, and now I'm in it, it is not easy! Perhaps it's nothing for others, but for me, I know my own capacity.

Thank you for your support. It's nice to learn there are people outside my world who understand and to know that I'm not alone. Bottom line I think it's up to us, because it's our body and our baby, others can say anything they like. I wish you all the best. 🙂 P.s. I'm 34yo and yup my first time too 🤗
