Where's my motivation??

Question

I am at 6W3D and I have ABSOLUTELY NO motivation. I don't have a huge appetite and a little bit of morning sickness, but what's getting me the most is that I have no motivation to get moving. I have been going to work but everyday before and after I just want to sit there. I haven't exercised in a week and I feel like a lump on a log. Not to mention, when I do feel hungry, I don't eat the most healthy things (they're not the worst, but they could be better).

Will this eventually go away? I know they say the fatigue gets better around the second trimester - will my motivation return, too? Otherwise, this is going to be a LONG 9 months...

Answer

I'm 18w4d & there r still some days where I want to just sit & read & eat snacks & cuddle w/ my cat but it's definitely better than weeks 6 to 11 where I was exhausted ALL THE TIME, I didn't want to cook, I didn't want to go to work, I didn't want to take the dog for a walk (I still did those things but definitely didn't enjoy it!) Now I'm actually getting things done around the house again & walking my stepson to & from school, trying to do as much as I can now before I get super big & uncomfortable! Good luck, the time will actually fly by & hopefully you'll feel better soon, but also remember you're growing a human & it's hard work so cut yourself some slack!

Answer

It does get better!!! From weeks 6-10 I was the laziest human alive. Didn't quite have morning sickness, just felt like crud all the time and could barely eat which led to zero energy - I could barely walk across the room to get water because I was so deprived of life lol. Luckily baby still developed ok! I'm now 13 weeks and feeling much better, the other day I got up & immediately cleaned the entire house. SO woke up and was like "wtf is happening who is this are you sure you're still pregnant "

Hang in there! There is a light near the end of the 1st tri tunnel :)

Answer

My motivation came back around week 20😬

Answer

2nd trimester is amazing. You feel so good and rested and still sleep well. And then you get into your third trimester and you're just as tired and unmotivated as your first trimester except you have a beach ball in front of you and your hands and feet are swollen and you're thinking "when will this be over!!!" I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow. Can't sleep. Out of breath just walking from the car into the house. Hot as hell. Break a sweat walking through Walmart. Baby kicks so hard you pee yourself a little. But so so worth it. 💙
