Hey girls! I was just wondering how you’re all holding up.. I’m 34 weeks now and working full time. My leave is scheduled to start at 36 weeks which leaves me with the rest of this week and full next week. And I just feel so physically and mentally exhausted.. like I can’t really focus on anything, and all the job tasks feel so irrelevant. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes yes yes and yes. I’m 33 weeks and work from home full time (I hate it lol). I get 12 weeks of maternity leave but it doesn’t start until I go into labor so I’ll be working up until the end. I have very little motivation to work hard because everything work related just seems so silly and meaningless when mentally I’m only focusing on the end of pregnancy and delivery.

SO very yes. This is my second... I worked right up to induction day with my first, so my employer was very surprised I wanted to use my accrued PTO ahead of my due date this time. My last day is next Friday (I'll be 37 weeks) and they're STILL sorting out who's taking on my projects. I have all sorts of other things I want to do to prep for baby; between that and the cognitive and physical exhaustion of pregnancy, it's very hard to focus on work.

I am a SAHM with a 2 yr old and i am so mentally exhausted! I feel awful bc I know my 2 yr old needs more from me but I am physically and mentally tired all the time. I know baby is diagonal so his feet are in my ribs all the time and pretty sure my bladder is in punching range.
