I am in my tenth week and I am so unmotivated, tired, I feel fat and I have a ton of housework to do. And here I am sitting on the couch, thinking about what I can eat next. I do go to work all week, and I am just so tired! What do you ladies do to get motivated!? I know in the first tri I am supposed to be tired, but, come on already!

    I say don't push yourself.  Your body is doing a lot of work just growing a baby, plus you're working all week.  When you're tired, rest.  I tried pushing myself on the weekends in the beginning and quickly learned that lead to a sick day during the next week.  Take it easy - you've earned it!

    I'm a couple weeks behind you and it is noon and I have done nothing today but eat and watch TV, and I am not planning to accomplish much.  Later on, I will do a load of laundry and clean the bathrooms, and if I can get that done before I go to bed, I will call this day a success.

    I agree - don't push yourself.  Set a small goal to make yourself feel better, and then relax and enjoy :-)

    My thoughts?

    ENJOY IT!!!!!

    I know it's stressful to procrastinate but your days of lounging around and vegging out are numbered.

    Put on some comfy slippers, fix yourself a cup of hot tea, grab a good book or newspaper, and relax!!!

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    Enjoy the laziness in the first trimester.. sleep.. eat.. etc.  I was SO exhausted the entire first trimester.  I work full time too and by the time I got home from work all I wanted to do was eat something and pass out on the couch which is exactly what I did.  There's plenty of time for motivation later. Just wait until your 3rd trimester when you can't get comfortable and it's harder to sleep.. you'll be missing that first trimester. lol
