How do you keep up energy/motivation?

Question

I'm about 12 weeks and this pregnancy is still kicking my ass. I'm so tired all the time and I have no motivation to do anything 😫 I work 5 days a week and they are all usually 10 hour days. I feel like I am dragging through all my shifts 😫 and advice would be appreciated

Answer

Probably the last thing you want to hear but aside from getting more sleep than usual working out always makes me feel better.  I also work full time with a long commute each way.  A few days a week right now is about all I can do and I’m usually so tired/dreading it but I feel so much better afterwards. It also helps me sleep better at night. On the weekends I try to take my dog for a walk too, even though the couch always sounds so much better. Even though I live in New England the fresh air helps. Good luck the exhaustion is awful!

Answer

Drink as much caffeine as I’m allowed and go to bed by 8:30 every night 😂 and that still doesn’t help much, just makes work doable!

Answer

Just try to hang on and get through each day day until the 2nd trimester comes. In my past pregnancies, my energy returned and it was such a relief.
