Does pregnancy make you lazy? Mind and body?

Question

Answer

My mind is definitely not lazy but my body just wants to sleep all day.

Answer

I wouldn’t say lazy, I was still always getting my stuff done. But it does really drain you physically and emotionally sometimes.

Answer

Yes. I tell myself its okay to relax & be lazy though. I have severe fatigue though so its not like Im just pretending so I can laze about.

Answer

Yes. But then I'll get spurts of what some people call nesting. At that point I can do 5 loads of laundry and vacuum and mop my entire house.

Answer

The term lazy makes it seem as though pregnant moms who are finding it difficult due to illness or pains, are simply making excuses. I say No...pregnancy is a thing that can physical, mentally and emotionally drain a woman. Not that she's not willing to keep going but sometimes we just can't. With my 1st and 2nd pregnancies I was up and running, working and handling things. A bit slower with the 3rd and 4th. Now, with my 5th, I find it hard to walk to the bathroom. The pain is overbearing at times. I have to do very little at a time to avoid overexerting myself.

Answer

I feel more motivated to eat healthy and exercise so I can be a good host and prepare for labor. I do go to bed earlier though too.

Answer

I said no because I feel more productive trying to get stuff done for the baby. It is harder to do things of course, but it doesn't mean I don't try. There are days where I feel like it's easier to let myself rest then get things done though, so in that respect yes I suppose
