So unmotivated!!!

Hi all!  This is my very first pregnancy and I'm 7 weeks along.  I am type A and always have to be doing something.  Now all I want to do when I get home from work is lie down on the couch or the bed.  I feel totally worthless and bloated!  Is this normal?  I cant imagine being 7 months pregnant in this heat!  I feel so bad for those that are.  Help!

    Yes, yes, and yes!  I can relate completely to everything in your post.  I'm usually a "go go go" person and mentally, just lying around all day is killing me.  However, other ladies on this board have urged me to stop being so hard on myself and just succumb to the fatigue.  You need the rest.

    To answer your question in a word, yes.

    You are growing a little person, he or she is basically a tadpole right now, but your body is working hard to support him/her.  Fatigue even in this early stage is totally normal.  I'd be somewhat worried if you weren't.

    Bloating is another totally normal thing.  I'm a little further along than you and I'm already uncomfortable in my work pants.  It's all bloat, unfortunately - especially since its your first pregnancy, you wouldn't be showing this early.

    Get a copy of What to Expect When You're Expecting, it's given me real perspective on what I should worry about and what is normal.

    All that being said, "worthless" is a strong word.  If you have depression, you should address it with a professional sooner rather than later.

    If you can relax and lay down, do it! In your 2nd trimester you'll get your energy back.  I wish i can just leave work, go home and take a nap...We can switch or a couple hours if you want!

    I seriously feel like a sack of potatoes right now lol. It has taken all of my willpower just to go to the laundry room in my apt. downstairs to do 1 load of laundry. I spend most of my day cuddling under my blanket watching britcoms lol so don't feel bad. I am sure we will all get our energy back one day.

    I totally feel what you are saying.  I'm exhausted and enjoying my vegetation time on the couch.  One of these days my energy will return.. until then most stuff can wait :)
