Lack of motivation to work (first trimester)

Pleaseeeee tell me this is normal..I cannot for the life of me focus on work and have ZERO motivation to do anything productive. I either want to just chill in bed and doom scroll or play games on my PS or basically do anything that does not involve me actually working. No one at my work knows I’m pregnant (I work fully remote) so it’s even harder to focus! 🥲

Hello. I'm literally on here for the 18th time today because of this. Agree completely. Much worse than my last pregnancy for some reason.

I’m the same - work is piling up though which is making me quite stressed!

I agree I’m 8 and half weeks and I feel sooo drained and tired today! Don’t remember feeling it this much with my first xxx

Totally normal. 7 weeks with second baby. I was at uni with my first and really struggled to get anything done. I'm currently sitting on the bed debating getting dressed after watching X files all morning 😅🤣

100% the same!! I’m usually really hard working and a high performer at work but I’m really struggling to get anything done now. Starting to get anxious about my manager asking me what I’m even doing with all my time 🫣

Oh my goodness this is totally me!! I'm 10+3 and I've been so incredibly fed up all week- I work from home all the time too so I totally get how you're feeling ❤️ good to know it's not just me being lazy 😂😂 xx

@Megan if I worked from home and was feeling this way I'd be in pj's on the sofa with movies procrastinating working or eating food 🤣

@Ebony in the same boat as @Megan as I also only work from home ..I swear to God it takes all my will power to NOT just sit and watch Netflix all day. I am still in pjs all day though 🤣

@Shibani finding clothes takes so much brain power. Rock them pj's and just own it! This level of hell nah not today does go away. During the second trimester you have energy to spare and by the 3rd that energy is going on nesting 😂 I found in the 4th trimester (newborn) I had energy to run around the block hundreds of times. I didn't sleep a wink the night my first was born (she was born at 8:28pm and was still awake come 6am the next day) it was weird having my body back and being able to take a full breath without feeling like I was suffocating 😂

Omg yes! I have 0% motivation to work, just give me my bed I will sleep. I even slept in afternoon today and did some work in evening.
