Have you been feeling demotivated to work since your pregnancy?

Question

pregnancy?" />

Answer

Yep, and that's why my last day is this upcoming Monday. I'm a registered nurse and because of several different reasons I have decided to leave my job early and not return. I'm going to spend these next three months preparing for baby and spending time with my husband before he deploys. I've neglected so much of my life this past year because of that job that now I don't even know how to have a life. Money will be tight, but we know how to budget. I loved caring for people but I hated how I was treated. I choose my health, sanity, and family over a job any day ✌🏻️

Answer

Once I'm actually AT work, I'm usually fine - it's just getting here that's the problem. I'm always sore and achy and exhausted in the mornings and getting out if bed is such a struggle. I would love to take a day off, but am trying to save every hour of PTO I have for maternity leave.

Answer

I'm pretty motivated to work actually. I'm trying to help us put money aside to cover my maternity leave and the more we have saved means the more time I can take off when baby gets here! I'm excited to have the holiday season off, but obviously with Christmas we will have some extra spending and then we have a destination wedding in Mexico to plan ahead for in April. I still need to get passports together for everyone.

Answer

I guess it depends on how much sleep I got that night.

Answer

I'm motivated to go to work and spend time there but most of the time I just zone off and refuse to move once I get comfy In my chair (walking to the printer 🙄) I used to be so productive before, I still manage to do everything but no extras

Answer

Unfortunately I've been given a shitload of overtime all summer long! Each day I become less motivated to come to work, but I've made it to week 27 without using a single sick day. I don't *want* to work more, but I've been voluntold (not volunteered) extra hours while coworkers are on vacation, out sick, etc.
I guess they figure I "owe" them since I'll be out for maternity leave later 🙄

Answer

I was, until I saw the number on my scale creeping up too fast! Now I try to do a Pilates  video at least three times per week, and weight gain has slowed to a better level.

Answer

I've always had two jobs- I quit my second job around 17-18 weeks pregnant because it was manual labor. 
My main job I've just dropped down to PT- 2 twelve hour shifts instead of 3!- because I start nursing school in a few weeks. 
So, I've been doing okay! This is the least amount of work I've ever done! Lol, I've been getting so much done around the house!!!

Answer

I work 2 jobs and the fatigue is starting to really drag me down.  But luckily for me some of my work slows down when summer ends.  This weekend I get 2 whole days off! Which sadly will probably be spent catching up on stuff at home.

Answer

Ive been given OT but haven't really taken much. I have no interest in my regular 40 much less anything over that. The sad part is i have work from home access but also have a family....and my bed is always staring me down.
