lost all motivation

[broodyhen]

Anyone else feel like they have lost all motivation. I am half way through my teacher training and the thought of planning lessons makes me want to sleep.

Im tired and just want an easy life...well until the baby gets here anyway.

It makes me feel bad because I wanted to do my teacher training so bad and I really dont want to let myself and everyone down but I just cant find the energy or the brain power to do what I need. My house is a mess and just feel like I'm letting everything get on top of me.

Any suggestions?

Not really a suggestion but just wanted to let you know you aren't alone. I am a year 3 teacher and getting through each day whilst feeling so rough over the last couple of weeks has been terrible. I still have 40 pieces of writing to mark today and I've already spent 3 hours doing work today.

All i can say is lets keep our fingers crossed that once we hit the second trimester we'll start to feel a lot better and will start blooming. In the meantime just deligate as many household duties as you can???

It's hard work but we'll get there xxx

I am going through it too. Zero motivation to do anything. Not so much depressed as indifferent. I was wondering if this is normal myself. I have been feeling sort of low I guess. The thoughts of a baby crying all the time are draining me already. Just sort of in a funk. Hang in there.

I'm going through it too- have been for a few weeks now.

Before I got pregnant I was doing voluntary work a few days a week and 2 open university courses.

Since about 5 weeks into the pregnancy I've not felt like doing anything at all, spent several days in bed doing nothing. Just getting up to have a bath is a struggle. I've also been really emotional and feeling depressed. I wanted to leave my OH at one point and I have no idea why, as I'm over it now.

I remember being like this in my last pregnancy though, and just wanting to sleep all the time. By the second trimester I was full of energy and back into everything again- so fingers crossed for all of us

Yes, I've absolutely been feeling this way too.

As my mother put it, "You'll get your energy back second trimester. It's your body's way of telling you to GET THINGS DONE NOW because in six months you'll have to stop again." I've been trying to keep that in mind...

I'm the same at the minute. Before I found out I was pregnant (wasn't planned) I registered to start my studies to becoming a chartered accountant.

Now I'm starting it and I just have no motivation at all - I really wish I delayed it !! But just have to plug on for an exam in June ... I normally enjoy studying too but now I just can't be bothered !

Same here... And i feel so guilty. I nearly spent all my week end in bed. I only managed to do a bit of tidying and a bit of washing, as it was becoming a emergency. My boyfriend made fun of me when i went all the way downstairs for lunch...
I don t want to go back to work tomorrow. Thinking of the amount of work i will have to do is making me even more tired

Yeeeeeees

I haven't even really been tired.. it's just that all of a sudden.. I don't want to do ANYTHING. We have a pile of dirty clothes that need to be washed. I REALLY need to vacuum, and there are still Xmas decorations that I need to put up and UGH I don't want to do it at all.
Hell, if we had the money to eat out.. I wouldn't even cook.

OMG so glad I am not the only one. I am feeling very de-motivated at the moment, all I want to do is sleep.... on the weekend I have at least 2 naps a day, plus a lie in.

Whilst TTC I always said once I got my BFP I would start swimming, go to the gym and doing gentle exercise....I cant I am just too tired and feel sick all the time.

I hope in a few weeks ill get back more energy so I can start taking better care of myself, ive been ok with my eating habits but this weekend i've been quite naughty (ice cream/cookies etc)

I dread the working week as I have to be up at 5.30am and dont get home until 5.30pm, I have a long commute and work is so busy at the moment

So glad I'm not the only one, I was worried my OH would think I'm just being lazy but I think he understands (espically when I was full on sick this morning)
